Talk:Valkyrie

Valkyrie Gear
Assuming not everyone knows, Valkyries spawn with gear that gets additions/upgrades with invested hard points. While it's quite interesting, I'm not sure it should be added since the sources might not be 100% accurate and it might clutter up the article, but I'll throw it in Talk for now. Source

According to this forum article [1], Valkyrie spawns with the following equipment dependent on level: (Mod1 = 4) Is a Magic item. (Mod1 = 6) is a Rare item.
 * Slvl 1 : Full plate mail and Spear (mod1 = 6)
 * Slvl 2 : adds Heavy gloves (mod1 = 4)
 * Slvl 4 : adds Heavy Boots (mod1 = 4)
 * Slvl 5 : adds Heavy Belt (mod1 = 4)
 * Slvl 7 : upgrades Full Plate Mail to Chaos Armor (mod1 = 6)
 * Slvl 8 : upgrades Spear to Lance (mod1 = 6)
 * Slvl 10: upgrades Heavy Gloves to War Gauntlets (mod1 = 4)
 * Slvl 11: upgrades Heavy Boots to War Boots (mod1 = 4)
 * Slvl 12: upgrades Heavy Belt to War Belt (mod1 = 4)
 * Slvl 13: adds Amulet (mod1 = 4)
 * Slvl 14: adds Circlet (mod1 = 4)
 * Slvl 16: replaces Chaos Armor with Sacred Armor (mod1 = 6)
 * Slvl 17: replaces Lance with War Pike (mod1 = 6)
 * Slvl 19: upgrades War Gauntlets to Crusader Gauntlets (mod1 = 6)
 * Slvl 21: upgrades War Boots to Mirrored Boots (mod1 = 6)
 * Slvl 23: upgrades War Belt to Colussus Girdle (mod1 = 6)
 * Slvl 25: changes mod1 for amulet from 4 to 6
 * Slvl 27: upgrades Circlet to Tiara (mod1 = 6)

The ilvl of these items is based on the formula 25 + 3 per level.

I'd add this to the main page but I can't find any canonical source. Anyway, the various mods on her kit explains the likely strange effects sometimes visible.

This guide [2] also has the above table and some more details on distinguishing colours:
 * Light-Gold Armor - normal, no enhanced mods other than + light radius.
 * Dark Gold Armor - 24% Faster Hit Recovery
 * Pale Gold Armor - 66-80% Enhanced Defense (saintly)
 * Orange Armor - Attacker Takes Damage of 4-6
 * White Armor - +x defense based upon the slvl of your valk, and the clvl of your character.
 * Blue Armor - chance to cast Frost Nova/Nova on being struck.
 * Dark Red Armor - Poison length reduced by 75%.
 * Red Armor - Think of this as 'of the ' armor. Huge +life bonus, and almost a double regen rate. This is the ideal.

Valk Weapon Colors
 * Blue - Chance to deal cold damage. Potential use of a cold skill on striking.
 * Teal - Chance to deal lightning damage. Potential use of a lightning skill on striking.
 * Green - Chance to deal poison damage.
 * Black - Enhanced damage modifier. Life leech is also a possibility.
 * White - Large bonus to AR. Think "of the fool's."

 * Extremely interesting, thanks so much for posting. Maybe you could contact the people who wrote it up and ask them where they got their information? Brainwasher5 (talk) 00:49, January 15, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks.  The forum thread did say that there wasn't anything canon, although this explains a lot as to why a level 30 Valkyrie is such a tank compared to a level 1 incarnation.  I'll keep looking, however, and have a confirmation by the 22nd of January.

I'm going to take a post from Blizzard's forums by a user named Onderduiker, a longtime regular on Jan/16/2016. Source

The Basin wiki is currently offline due to complications after recent server maintenance, but hopefully the following link will be working again by the end of this month:

http://wiki.theamazonbasin.com/index.php/Valkyrie"

The Basin doesn't have their wiki up at the moment, but I'll check in periodically to see when it is. Breywood (talk) 12:50, January 26, 2016 (UTC)

Allrighty. The Amazon Basin has their wiki up, here's the chart of items generated. I don't think it'll translate too well on this wiki, but I'll leave a link. http://wiki.theamazonbasin.com/index.php/Valkyrie#Items Breywood (talk) 13:00, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

"While the Amazon herself can't see her Valkyrie's element immunities via Dismiss, a Paladin with Holy Bolt can."
