Rejuv Rack outshining other red items

[Marcmaz]

Rejuvenation rack is straight up a better choice in almost every scenario to N'kuhana's and is always better than Aegis. Instead of getting 50% more overheal, why not get 100% more healing? Since it does essentially the same thing but just gives you more healing, rather than Aegis which would give you no bonus healing but otherwise have the same effects. N'kuhana's as well, as with Rejuv rack you'd shoot out twice the number of skulls and get double healing, but with two N'kuhana's you'd shoot out the same number of skulls just for double damage (for around the same dps as Rejuv rack). Am I missing something or is there no reason to stack N'kuhana's and Aegis when Rejuv rack exists?

[Loken Stoneheart]

You stack them because the game is RNG and drops whatever it wants?
I mean is it really outshining if you still want at least one of each?
It's not like getting multiple of the others is /bad./

[Seishisha]

Not all the items are meant to be equal or comparable to one another, its part of the basic design that some are just better for a particular stat while others are more utility focused. So yes an item that gives 100% more healing is obviously the better healing item, as you mentioned the other two have utility built in so the balance is different.

[Zeddy]

N'khuana stacks rather well, all things considered. Some red items don't give anything meaningful at all when stacked, like Shattering Justice.

[Xilo The Odd]

why not all 3? double healing means more auto target skulls means more overshield means tank any 1 shot. then fight mithrix and have him steal all 3 including all your healing items and never be able to kill him xD

"Opinion" isn't a healing item. Also it's not like every item should be on par with every other; some are alright, some are good, some are bad, some are niche items. This is essential part of the balance in roguelikes (its not like ror2 is balanced rofl)

Aegis is good because it gives you barrier

Barrier and Health are two seperate resources~

that artifact is cheating and defeats the purpose of the game in a lot of peoples eyes, sure you can use it but i dont want to hear any one cry about how easy it makes things if they dont want it nerfed

if you think either being destroyed in one shot or destroying everything with one single click 45 minutes into the run is balanced then... i mean; im not complaining but character scales very very fast

Well it's already weaker than it was in the first game, since in that one you could even pick items you hadn't unlocked yet...

Its still a gameplay modifier that only makes the game easier its not normal gameplay, saying just use command is like saying just use the golden suit in mario sure its in the game but no one want baby mode on

because if you have aegis you get near double of your healthbar? you can't heal if you're dead

Problem is the item does the exact same thing after the first stack as the other items, just does it better.

over heal can save if you take a ton of damage at once and healing faster unless you have god healing just makes you recover faster

the game isnt built around command

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. If you already have an Aegis, it's better to have a Rejuv rack instead of another Aegis in all scenarios. It'll give you more healing which equates to the same amount of Aegis shield, rather than another Aegis which will just increase your shield while providing no bonus healing.
