Helps with Socket colours. As Lioneye's armour teaches us, it's the attribute requirement that weights the socket colour, and added requirement from modifier will count for this to happen. This also applies to Scourge modifiers

That's it? Doesn't seem like a big deal. I thought there was something more to it than that, like some other build that I haven't heard of yet...

or for 3 Endurance charges to reduce physical damage by roughly half

Interesting are you referring to Wacry Buff Eefect stacking or is something else here at play?

All you need is Immortal Call.

3 Charge sacrifice + level 1 IC on a build that consistently has 3 endurance charges =

45% Phys damage reduction from 3 sacrificed Charges.
25% from the base Gem
12% from the Endurance charges that are brought back up.

That's 82% reduced Phys damage, and it's just a level 1 gem, that can be repeated every 1.5 seconds, with 1.9 sec duration with a small increased duration investment, and a small cooldown recovery investment.

I include anything that could be considered a neutral in the positive category. How many Attribute requirements have made the gear unuseable? Very few.

You can call it brick if an Arakaali dagger, or any other minions specific item, has 250+ dex requirement. There aren't any beneficial modifiers good enough to make this kind of investment worth it.

You can workaround the attributes requirements with Elegant Hubris (Supreme Ostentation), but that's a high investment.

Not like I have the exact same creature with a Poet's Pen.



I know what you mean though; You're trying to use a Dex wep with almost no Dex in build because you're either building ES, or going toward Templar for Minion nodes.

In contrast, you could have just cluster jeweled your spiders on the right hand side of tree, had plenty of dex, spell suppression, and still had Glancing Blows with a Thread of Hope.

There's no real reason you don't have enough dex.
