Disclaimer: Quick Idea. Wrote out what came to my mind, probably not throughly balanced (or balanced at all for that matter XD ).
The idea I want to explain to you this time is adding more rare weapons/armor sets AND new specialised traits for said rare or legendary weapon/armor sets.
The items could be obtained in different ways like for example from voting (rare only, no legendarys) or from winning big events/tournaments or completing diffult quests (I mean really difficult ones, not fetch quests).
They could have special enchantments to make them unique and maybe even have special attributes to them (NBT Attribute Modifiers).
In addition to that certain rare/legendary armor sets or weapons could be further enhanced by offering special traits that only work while said rare/legendary is equiped.
Special traits would be MUCH cheaper then regular ones , since they require the user to have a specific item.
This would dethrone god armor/god weapons from the absolute top tier since cheaper/stronger traits mean a clear advantage.
Examples (probably op examples):
NOTE: These are only examples . The real application of this could be entirely different.
Here are some Non combat rares:
Q&A:
Q: Kinda OP isn´t it?
A: Thats pretty much the point. Rare/Legendary items are extremely hard to come by and with specialised traits and these ability people will seek them to surpass the standart godarmor loadout.
Q; Why the low costs for these OP abilitys?
A: The abilitys ONLY work as long as the required rare´s/legendary´s are used. If you don´t have thme these traits are waste of points as they will do nothing.
Q: So instead of everyone fighting with godarmor and godweapons everyone will use op legendary/rare combos to be even more OP?
A: Nope. They are called Rare and Legendary for a reason. They will be extremely hard to obtain and will be very limited in numbers. It is very hard to stress just how rare they would be.
Note: Please post a comment for your reasonings on the votes so I can better understand the opinions of the community. I am aiming to get a better understanding so I can improve my suggestions and avoid easy mistakes.
Feel free to tell me if I forgot something important.
