1200 fusings, no 6 link

First you must define "Perfect" stats. I have yet to see any "Perfect, GG" rolls. Then again, you must take into consideration that the build diversity in this game will make "GG" rolls much more diverse. Not all builds will need the exact same stats for a GG roll.

My example is almost perfect for this, my Shadow uses an ES helm, however he uses it as an EB toon, so I needed HP on it, I proceeded to roll a dual resist 70 hp 716 ES helm with dual resists. I believe it is still the "Best" ES helm roll on the server, due to 2 high resists to boot. However, another player, say a CI user, that helm would be no where near as GG for them as it was me.

I'm not entirely sure how to articulate it any differently etc, but my above statement illustrates the crude point.

Many options for perfect rolls but only one perfect socket situation, well, technically 3 3l, 4l and 6l.

Stop taking mah werdz out of context moosi :|

you actually answered your own question perfect stats are what you make them for your toon.

certainly if you give up before you get the known max of a stat its not perfect just good stats.

but some players will indeed go the extra mile to max the stats they want.

This games loot system is as RNG as Diablo 3's.

At least there the acquisition process was supported by the AH.

I actually bust a gut laughing. Troll king approves fledgling troll

What about a recipe to add one definite link to the sockets of an item?

Which should certainly be extremely costy. So let's say you are using fusings to get 4-5 links and want to perfect the 6 link.

Should it be completely random to achieve the final step? I think that is a little too much and a unnecessary chore...

I'm thinking about something like having the same item (mirror of kalandra on non uniques for example) with some Scourings, then the forbidden magic of Chaotic Orbs, Jewelers and Fuses and and, let's go crazy, at least one 20% quality Gem, which would have to serve as a power generator to make such a black magic mutation possible on the wished 6L item ^^...

Btw: The Hell Unleashed modification for Diablo 2 LOD offered similar ways of costy but efficient item tuning.

Partly random, partly insane = YEY

Keep the RNG but make the algorithm more predictable when a certain amount of fusings are used repeatedly. Maybe after 100 fusings, start slightly increasing the chance of getting a 6L.

For so many reasons listed in this thread no. Nor should the server have to keep track of all that nonsense.

yes a game that people constantly complain about lag and desync lets have it track every single fusings used on every single item. I can see that going well.

No offense guys, but you are rehashing things that have already been brought up and discussed in this thread.

Yeah, that could work I guess, but there would still be a small handful of people who spend thousands and never get one, unless after a point it was guaranteed. I still think the extreme end of the RNG is the problem.

Wow you guys are really grasping at straws.

1.6k fusings now, no 6 link. And I'm down to a 4 link too. :P
