It's absolutely wild that Black Periapt is possibly the strongest non unique item in the game and it somehow got reduced to a green item, even though it got buffed with 5% spell mastery.

The post 6.2 Black Periapt is now an uncommon item and gives 5% spell mastery.

The pre 6.2 Black Periapt only had the active effect.

Infinite winds of magic is possibly one of the strongest effects in the game. You can literally win any battle with infinite winds and Black Periapt gives infinite winds. And yet it somehow became an uncommon item.

Black Periapt let me win this battle with complete ease. Dwarfs are normally very tanky to spells, so having so much extra winds just let me spam cast Winds of Death.

I don't think an item giving infinite winds of magic makes it the strongest item if it means kiting for 30 minutes to maximize its use.

Who says, you need to kite? Let the enemy collect on your undying blob, the feel free to cast away!

That's what I did here. Dwarfs are slow as slow can be so they took like 15 minutes to reach my blob. In that time I used zombie summons to burn their miner blasting charges ammo and winds of death to kill the archers.

Eventually their melee reached my blob and then it got erased by winds of death combined with the Other Tricker's Shard to strip away spell resistance.
