If you're wearing Rats most likely wearing a Maligaro too... way way way easier to malis..just saying

dex and item level way too high to be screwing with 4R Rats

Maligaro's gloves are Evasion/Dex are they not

Wouldn't it be just as hard to 4R them?

The stats requirements have an effect on the chance to roll the corresponding colors (e.g. high str -> higher chance for red sockets)

Yeah but the only required stat is Dex. Does that mean that because Rat's nest has a higher dex requirement, it's harder to roll off color sockets on it? If so, are you sure?

I might be misunderstanding here but I wouldn't guess that Maligaro's or Rat's Nest would be any different in trying to hit 4R.

No. Put a rats and malis in on 4R youll see

Can't be sure of the legitimacy of that unless it is based on known game mechanics. Is it?

Using the Vorici Chrom Calculator.

Maligaro 4R Cost - 844 Chrom's on Average
Rat's Nest 4R Cost - 2321 Chrom's on Average

Huge difference.

But is this calculator based on actual known and verified in game mechanics?

Can someone verify or post a source of said connection?

I'm just surprised because this is strange news to me

It's legit. And yes, the required amount of Dex has a huge effect on how many Chromatic's it takes.

Wild, I was not aware of that.. I'm still skeptical but it sounds like the consensus is that this is true.. but I wasn't aware of GGG releasing, verifying or confirming these facts at any point, maybe I'll have to do some digging in the mechanics thread and all that shiznit
