Item Usefulness Information - This item is a fairly powerful choice for any spell character that wants high spell damage and very high critical strike chance in their builds. If the critical strike chance on this unique is rolled perfectly and you dual wield them, you're critical strike chance will be near 100 percent on every hit, assuming you went a typical spell character critical strike build. Even though most spells skills are buffed while wielding the unique, some spells will perform better than others due to the specific characteristics that the Divinarius unique possesses. For example, spell skills that perform better while equipping Divinarius include glacial cascade, storm call, shockwave totem, flameblast, and freezing pulse. This is due to the fact that Divinarius grants the player up to 20 percent increased radius of area skills if dual wielding, and the very high critical strike chance that the unique possesses. All of the spell skills mentioned above are enhanced by both increased area of effect buffs and critical strike chance buffs. Divinarius works well with spell skills that deal cold damage, as the high critical strike chance that the unique grants causes any cold damage dealt to be able to freeze and chill enemies, which can be seen as a great defensive buff, since frozen enemies cannot attack you, and chilled enemies have a slower movement speed and attack speed, which means that you are safer in both situations. The increased radius of area skills that the unique grants can be enhanced by using an increased area of effect radius gem support in your main spell skill setup. This will make your build clear packs of enemies quicker and will help in situations where enemies may be hard to hit due to their high movement speed or other specific abilities that they may possess. You cannot use this unique in the early stages of the game, since it's level requirement is level 66. In the late stages of the game, this item is useful for critical strike based spell characters because of its medium spell damage output, its very high critical strike chance for spells, and its ability to buff spells that become more effective with more area of effect.
