Actualy it just depends a lot about wich damaging spells you use ...
If you are Wizard, relying mainly on damage through Magic Missiles*, or Witch Bolt ... it dont really have any effect for you, since those spells cant crit anyway.
*wich are SUPER powerfull with certain artefacts ... so far i managed to enpower them up to: 1d4+1
+1d4 +1(or1d8) ... curently even
+1d4 since this robe is buged and adds to any damage.
I would appreciate some small benefit to go along with it. Like being able to use the Staff of Crones without the drawback of taking damage. Something like that.
Agree that some benefit would be appreciated ...
But i dislike when efefcts on me changes effects for artefacts ... i mean if this staff is supposed to poison me, then it should poison me no matter whatm i shouldnt be able to just turn it off, i should receive some benefit out of it ... if Hag's Eye would give me resistance to poison damage, to mitigate that effect, and some benefit (like temp. HP, or bonus damage) if i receive Poison damage, that would be cool. :3
