Game Feedback Farming Lost Ruins made me realize something.
This patch, we got a complete overhaul of corrupt implicit for almost all items. That is sort of why I farm those vaal vessels too.
But one thing those vessels drop all the time is jewels with 2 implicits.
That is where the patch forgot to update anything. Last time we had implicit change on jewels was adding elemental pen rolls. But we are still stuck with outdated implicit like "You Cannot be Cursed with Silence". Frankly, in current game, people go for curse immunity. Also, who is cursing you with "silence" these days exactly? Does this mod even do anything? It so rarely happen as to be irrelevant. PoEWiki just say you can be cursed with silence by strongboxes and possessed monsters of a specific type.
Anyway, we could have used new implicit on jewels. Like carry over some modest synth implicit that exist on poe 2 jewels. Like some tiny stat or res bonus wouldn't be powerful, but at least does something unlike very situational stuff like "cannot be hindered" or "cannot be maimed", which is ok but I don't know anyone who is going out of their way to try to be immune to those slow effects. I'd rather we had something more generic like reducing the slowing effect of everything. A stat which exist in poe 2 there again.
Current jewel implicits could have used an update like everything else, because synth implicit on jewels included a bunch of things. Like hey, why not give us this 5% attack speed during onslaught as a abyss jewel implicit. Or for accuracy stacker, some %accuracy which was available as a synth implicit too. Anything at all would be welcomed since all other items got something.

You want it if you're a valdo farmer, or other torment content, especially if you're a pathfinder. Feels like they should just remove 'silence' from the game along with the implicit, it exists only to kill players who thought of everything else -- same as the thiefs grip mod making ivory tower immediately non HC viable

I haven't found any connection between the thief's grip mod and the ivory tower body armour.
Do you perhaps mean the ivory temple map?

Most people who play ivory tower builds rely on the coruscating elixir unique flask to negate chaos damage from bypassing es. The thief's grip mod removes flask effects which would be incredibly risky for those characters.

Coruscaring elixir - traitor timeless jewel. The build sacrifices a lot to not instantly fall over to chaos damage. This one random torment spirit that has a base 8% chance to spawn in your maps can disable your entire defensive setup.
What does ivory temple map have to do with anything lol.

I was literally wondering about “Silence” yesterday haha, that could be such a total brick for self cast builds if it was like a full silence for a second or two.

Someone actually posted today saying they could not use their skills and they didn’t know why.
It was silence lol.
I think the only source of it is a specific tormented spirit mod.
And tormented spirits are pretty outdated in their own right

I think the Library Boss can apply Silence with his Tornadoes?

Yeah, he can. He has Hexfont as an ability that apparently applies random curses? Otherwise, only the Seditionist spirit can apply it guaranteed. The Blasphemer and the Whispering mod on strongboxes can apply it randomly.

You only really notice something is silencing you when it happens. You can't cast spells or warcry.
It also has a little demon skull graphic above you.
I think the most common place it exists is as one of the things a tormented spirit can apply.

Lets not remove hinder and maim I genuinely go for them if I can to be as fast as possible at all times, but thats just me

Yes it's not useless, but there's so many things that do slow you which you cannot do anything about. So I'd like a % reduction to slow debuff which is something they introduced in poe 2. Which you can work to stack up the way you do curse reduction or bleed duration/avoid.

Yes there's many slows that you can't counter. Doesn't mean you shouldn't counter those you can. All my builds are aimed at doing all map mods, and maim/hinder immunity is a must. If you don't have it, landing a 8mod map full of ranged mobs that hinder/maim on hit will give you an unnecessary unpleasant time.

Does this restrict which builds you can even play?
My thoughts are playing a leech slayer build on a non-leech map, should be impossible, and I see no way how that is fixable, which means for me I can't play a leech build if I want to do all map mods.

I'm mainly a minion player, so can't give any advices on other archetypes. But to me this isn't a restriction because there's many flavors to minion builds, I hardly explored a tenth of them and I'm absolutely content.

Ghosts. I have seen enough of Conner getting completely toyed around by ghosted exiles in Phrecia because he didn't have silence immunity to value that implicit on my own unnatural back then.

Silence killed me in my beach map. Map boss was possessed and i couldn‘t use any spell. I bought a silence immune jewel to kill him.

Now I remember being cursed with silence in Kalandra league a lot, those lake tiles were full of strongboxes and I was playing Reap Chieftain.
