Do we need totally useless equipment items in the game?

[Psyren]

I've got a question for you guys. Who of you actively use items that aren't +Move or +Armour?

I don't mean trying out here and there (or collecting for cheevos), I mean insta-grabbing anything else. I'm quite curious?

I really like the plus projectile life loot a lot. If I have an ammo hungry class loaded I like the stuff that gives a boost to your ammo capacity too. Health boost and jump boost stuff is a good thing too.

I forgot to mention the +projectile life add +ammo items, sorry -___-

The point I'm trying to make it is who actively uses 'compromised' items, compared to the 'boring, no compromise' items?

Wouldn't it be better if we had even more options for interesting 'no compromise' items, or 'compromised' items with interesting flaws (the I'm on fire! items come to mind)?

Situationally I'll give up a bit of life for extra spell power. Especially if I have an extra heart perk going.

For 0.729:

* Equipment can no longer have negative effects that reduce a stat by more than 80%.  Specifically, these negative effects are now capped at no-lower-than-negative-80-percent for equipment:
** Jump Height
** Movement Speed
** Outgoing Damage
** Shot Time-To-Live
** Max Health
** Max Ammo
