The entree time for the Armor creation contest has ended and the finalist have been selected. Thank you everyone for all of your entrees, we had fun reading them all. We originally where only going to select 3 finalist but we ended up with 4. You guys really like luck. About 75% of the submissions were luck based armors. There were a lot of entrees from different people that where nearly identical (there were a couple similar to the Gamblers rags finalist and at least 4 different Vampiric Embraces).
The final entrees have been modified/balanced to closer represent how they may work in the final game. Without further delay here are the 4 finalists.

What are the chances lol. Vampiric Embrace was also a name submitted by me. With similar, but different enough stats/specials. Well played Brian 😀
I was thinking about leaving a joke very similar to that but here I find someone beat me to it.
*sunglasses*
Just my luck.
Nice! Thanks.
I think they should all be in the game, but if I have to choose, Deadman’s Fury is definitely my kind of armor. In fact, I wish I’d thought of it; my idea sounds terrible in hindsight.
Agreed! It wouldn’t be hard to incl them all, right? But we’re deciding the kudos to the popular-ist of the best!
Gamblers Rags for me, need the luck to overcome and some mad dodging skills. Good stuff.
I think that the other amors are too op of too risky.
Crit chance AND chance to get crit?
Are those not the same thing?
No they are not. Chance to get crit is the enemies chance to land a critical strike against the player.
