I will preface this saying that I do not have the PTR currently due to download limits (stupid backward country I live in) so I cannot test out myself but I happened to come up with an idea that I know others have came up with and tested.
With there being no chests in GR's it makes Harringtons belt kind of useless for GR's (still viable for normal rifts obviously). Now this got me thinking and doing some quick and dirty digging through other unique belts and set belts for the Firelight build that does not use RoRG. I ended up finding a belt called Razor Strop. It can have up to 5 yard health glove pick up (great when paired with say Reapers Wraps) as well as whenever you pick up a health globe you explode for 300-400% weapon damage as fire. Now this would be buffed by our normal fire damage % stacking I would assume (not tested it yet, just found one in my stash so will test in the morning).
Would this be a viable option for a replacement for the Harringtons or is there another belt out there or combo with set bits that I may be missing that could be a good alternative? Or is there a new legendary belt on the PTR that is a viable option that I have not seen reported?
Hope this helps someone or gets greater minds than mine in theorycrafting ticking over for potential other belts now that Harringtons has been knocked off it's pedestal.
1) Vigilante Belt (most of my builds greatly benefit from CDR, so the new 2.1 Vigilante Belt with CDR is just awesome) 2) Witching Hour for DPS 3) String of Ears for EHP 4) Since the Blackthorne's set might be an awesome option with pants and amulet buffed, I might consider that as well.
Never liked the situational Harrington's, to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I click on absolutely everything everywhere (other people who wear Harrington's hate me in rifts sometimes), but I just don't like to *rely* on that for damage. The other belts... meh. I liked Goldwrap for a while, the EHP boost insane (everyone who likes life on kill should absolutely try Goldwrap, it's awesome) but again - situational.
The next best option for most classes is almost certainly Witching Hour. String of Ears can provide toughness, Razor Strop is interesting but probably not the defacto replacement. The damage from it isn't that great in practice. I'd personally put it on the same level as most legendary belts.
Lyndon always gives the best gifts, but in this case Harrington's Belt doesn't help much. :/
For dmg, Witching hour was already suggested, but for a helpful crowd control belt I've always liked 'Cord of the Sherma' for the blind/slow that procs pretty regularly.

I used that belt when I was badly geared in T2 and T4. It helped a bunch especialyl on those that run away a lot like ghosts and the fallen. I always recommend it for newer gearing players for that reason, the CC is amazing and seems to work on almost anything from memory

In my book, I already know which belts I want:
1) Vigilante Belt (most of my builds greatly benefit from CDR, so the new 2.1 Vigilante Belt with CDR is just awesome)
2) Witching Hour for DPS
3) String of Ears for EHP
4) Since the Blackthorne's set might be an awesome option with pants and amulet buffed, I might consider that as well.
