I would like to see cool D&D items in a 5e game instead of Larian's MMO-like weird magic junk homebrew everywhere with what almost seems like random nonsensical properties on them.

If Gloves of Succour are meant to boost Lay on Hands - boost Lay on Hands. Don't add some if/when/X/Y gain resistance to Z. Buff the heal amount directly or add an AC buff for 1 turn. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.

And the properties need to make sense. E.g. Boots of Striding requiring you to cast a Concentration spell to trigger does not make sense. Might as well require you to eat a carrot and look to the east to let you run faster which is the purpose here. And item that makes you pull people when you heal them feels completely random and does not make sense. An amulet that coats your weapons with poison when you drink a healing potion.. does not make sense. Let me use the amulet directly to poison my weapons 1/day and get another use for a Bonus Action at the same time. Etc.

100% agree but let's be honnest... Itemization is worse at each patch and the closer we are from release, the more they add wierd items...

I am extremely frustrated when I loot those items because I also like sets of item... but I don't want to dash if I don't have to for the sake of charges, I don't want to damage/restrein myself of healing my characters to have less than 50% HP, I don't want to create a water surface at the beginning of every combats... and so on.

I absolutely HATE these items and nothing is more frustrating to me than looting so many rewards I won't EVER use whatever my party composition.
