Why is soul Taker so outrageously expensive??

Says the guy who has lvl 88 as highest and joined in February 2013.
Oh right, you deleted your dead char. Because only you know how to delete chars.
Thanks for the laugh

Because it's a very strong item but mostly because the standard economy is absolute dog shit.

Lol, no because I play in new leagues and in HC, I don't sit in standard with the OP stuff. Level 92 in a couple months? Ya impressive. Playing standard the whole time and acquiring all that stuff and still only 92? Sad.

So it's a crime to have OP gear on a lvl 92 toon. U jelly bro? At least I got my gear right. Hope you feel less shitty about yourself.

Think the argument has spiralled out of control.

Most 6L Cyclone Builds face extensive mana issues, and even with extensive gearing and a perfectly planned passive tree, no one can disagree that there is desync in this game, which usually results in you spinning(Cycloning) in empty spaces for a few seconds or so. That alone is enough to bring your mana pull from full to zero (assuming you already have 2 auras up on mana pool).

Having a Soul Taker means you no longer have to worry about desyncs, simply put. Desync is a problem that has to be fixed but as Chris mentioned earlier this week in an interview with Athene, is complicated and something that will take a long time to fix. Having a Soul Taker means you could spin into a pack of mobs not worrying about running out of mana and getting killed just because you just desynced without even knowing. Basically it means you can continue spinning even after you desynced and got your mana to zero. Having a ST also allows you to Leap Slam to safety after you desync while Cycloning and still have zero mana. A mirrored yellow rare won't allow you to do that. You could have all the best Mana-Leech gear in the world, that accounts for nothing if you desync often.

And let's not kid ourselves, a substantial amount of players in this game face desync problems, I would say frequently.

To the OP, if you really wanted an easier answer to this, think about why GGG nerfed Soul Taker in the first place :)

Your complete comparison is based on DPS and not the merits of the item.

You still haven't answered the question, how much do you value ST passive?

My fellow brother over here, don't bother convincing others why the "Insufficient Mana doesn't prevent your Melee Attacks" mod is so valuable.

In the case of Legacy Soul Takers, it was obvious that the amount of DPS they were providing while having "Insufficient Mana doesn't prevent your Melee Attacks" was too high for balance in this game. Even GGG agrees with you, and that's why they nerfed it. Most of the Legacy uniques became legacy for a reason, players and GGG alike felt that they destroyed the balance and build variety in this game. Hence, the OP uniques became legacies. Let's not even delve into the "Your Physical Damage can Chill", which is such a great mod really.

Another reason why the price of Legacy Soul Takers will continue to rise is because the supply of them have stopped while the demand for them has increased as the player base increases over time. It's a case of simple economics, demand and supply :)

Let's accept this fact before people start threads on why Kaom's Heart/Shavronne's Wrappings are so outrageously expensive :)

bought it for 13 exalts a few months back. Expensive back then c:.

That's the advantage of playing a game in its beta stages :)

Read page 2-3 if you want to know why you don't need St. The fact is.. St is a decent overpriced axe, yet not necessary at all even for any builds that recommend it.

On topic. Pretty Much this. :)
