You also "traded" so your not self-found, why stop now?

Because I can't afford shit, that's why.
Better rings for 1 chaos? With prisma, AR and stats because everything else would fuck up my resistance + hit chance, show me please.

Also define "shit" because your weapon and claw and shield are fine.

No they are not.
400 ES Shield is MINIMUM. Anything lower would be a joke. And the affixes sucks but I can't reroll them without the orbs (and trading the orbs for better stuff would be the better option with the fucekd up semi random RNG).
The claw is SHIT. The shield is okay till lvl 70 or so but the claw is utterly SHIT.
Physical damage extremly low. Crit chance extremly low. Attack speed extremly low.

And OH HEY, the items you mentioned are the items I traded, guess how they would look if I would use my old claw+shield? 70 ES shield and 100dps (not physical) claw, heeeeeeyaaaaa.

Boots and gloves are totally fine.

Nope, low ES, bad stats (boots have nice resi but that's it).

I won't start with a 5 Linked ES-Armor and usable stats, can't afford that in the next 3 years I guess.

I play solo and self found. I made it to level 86 in Nemesis before I ripped, but I like this character and dont care if I'm not playing in HC. That was still my only death to date with this setup

Fair enough, that is just a lot of deaths. I am not knocking you, but that is ~4ish deaths per level.

I don't like surviving mobs so I try to kill any mob as often as I can.
I'm like Mario with 120 lifes, high death rate but I rather kill the fucking exile then staying alive.

It is all gear and maps that I found. I held off on starting maps until I was level 71. My time played on my 83 Scion is 13 days, 23 hours and 33 minutes. So 335 1/2 hours played.

Thank you. You see the problem is, not is self found possible, but do you need to farm for so long. The same problem d3 had. If you did not want to use AH or rmha, you would need ot farm for ton of hourse, totaly same what you did here.



Your post proves that to get a self found character to end game you will need a ton of time, it is almost as much as playing free korean MMOs, and it shows very clearly that the game is not balanced around self found if you need to farm for 300h.

If you trade you will get where you are at the moment a lot faster

Self found league would do exactly that, remove the trading, but make the drop rates so you would get to end game at same speed as if there was trading.

I hope now you understand at least somewhat better why people want that league. Not because it is not posible, but because it is just tooo much time consuming compared to any other arpg game out there

Also I already pointed out CI + CS + Ghost reaver builds are retarded expensive for a TRADING/PARTYING player to build himself. Even more so for a 1st character, I have no idea what else you want.
