Here is my design a legendary idea, go upvote me if you like it!
Feel free to post your ideas here too and I will return the favor!
The Blood Drinker "Some scholars believe that this foul blade of twisted bone was created upon the Hellforge by The Lord of Hatred himself, using his own bones to create the hilt. The hilt is said to absorb the blood of its victims and grant the wielder eternal life."Every time you kill or assist in killing an elite you gain a charge.
When you use a health potion the charges are released. This effect of these charges is increased by your health potion bonus healing.
Passive effect: 1 Charge 200 life per second 2 Charges 400 life per second 3 Charges 600 life per second 4 Charges 800 Life per second 5 Charges 1000 life per second
Active: The charges are released, seeking out 5 nearby enemies and draining their health. The charges deal 150% weapon damage and return 10% of the total damage dealt as health.

You should post this on their latest blog, as it will get noticed there. Or whatever threads are going on.
The idea is pretty good, (a bit similar to what I had in mind) but I'd get rid of the life steal mechanic and increase the damage by a lot. I feel like it has enough going for it, really. You could probably just make it a huge poison nova a la classic Meph.
That stream was rough though. After watching it I just felt like every idea was crap, even my own, lol. Not saying yours is, but, man...
At this point, I'm just like do whatever you guys want, sure it'll be fine.
It is so exhausting to repeatedly see the same dumb ideas rehashed over and over. "Make a skull shoot out and do damage!" Oh. My. God. I just want to smack a bitch.

Thank you for you valuable input... it's a bit more complicated than "shoot a skull and do damage"
It's within the criteria mentioned in the stream.
I'm curious, what are your amazing ideas?
Some ideas after listening to the talk.
1H Sword = Insert Epic Name Here
Your Attacks Per Second add to your resource generation also has a high aps (like chandos)
So 1.50 Attacks Per Second = 1.5 Arcane Power per second this scales with aps. Each char has it's own scale to suite the resource.
The basis for this is to provide an interesting option for high aps when some skills become less effective due to resource cost.
1H Sword = Insert Epic Name Here
This sword will allow you to have 2 followers at the same time.
That's all I got for now
I like both of these ideas, they would make awesome Legendaries. How might you relate them to Mephisto?
I personaly dont like on killing effekts, it feels strange to build your charakter around clearing trash. I also dont like huge mechaniks build into 1 item, they should be understandable wrote and explained in 1 letter/set (sry Google-translator is horible...)Like, Remove liferegen, Drain life equal to your liferegen from ""up to X"" enemys within 10-XX Yards, or transform your Healthpotion into a Explosion of ""bla bla bla"" dealing XXX% times health restored this way and reduce its cooldown to XX seconds.Overall its hard to make suggestions, if we dont know what they are going to do and what not.
Yeah, I see your point there. I agree that it could be simplified a bit. The on kill effect would only proc on elites though, seems logical to me.
I like the health pot explosion
Ok, here's my idea for Mephisto's blade.
Whenever you have the blade equipped, spending more than 1min outside of combat causes you to gain a debuff called "Hatred of Mephisto" which deals 1% of your total health in damage every 2 seconds, every further minute causes this debuff to stack, there is no cap.
Entering combat pauses the stacking, but doesn't remove the debuff, the ONLY way to do that is to kill a mob, which will remove 1 stack of the debuff and grants you a stack of a buff "Mastered Hatred" which causes you to deal damage equal to 10% of your health per stack to all enemies within 10 yards, increased by gold pickup. You can't gain further stacks of Hatred of Mephisto while under the effect of Mastered Hatred.
You'd probably have to have this disabled in towns, would be kinda lame to die while shopping or reforging because you didn't notice you had 25 stacks
The "gameplay" here would be simple, it's all a balancing act... Do you stack the debuff REALLY high, meaning you take a shitload of damage BUT if you survive you'll gain a correspondingly larger buff OR do you play it safe, go for a small stack of the debuff, but gain a weaker buff at the end?
