itemization: troubles of a narrow mind
" agreed. I think the only way to play the game incorrectly is to not have fun while you play. Hey...is this thing on?

I'm using Veil of the Night. It rocks.
No. Calm down. Learn to enjoy losing.

" excellent post. but imagine taking something your fellow min/maxers view as trash, and building a powerful character with it. food for thought. build a character "just right", without using the exact same stuff all other min/maxers use. not *as powerful*, but 100% yours.

Shadow: That was fun | |
" then he would be a medium averager and not a min/maxer and he just told you he is just that. Note: i am using medium averager not as a bad or wrong word here, since i am one of those guys. i just couldn't think of another therm that fits the description in this context :p.(it's late and i'm sleepy :O ) Don't enforce your own vision on a fellow player, clearly he is enjoying himself within the rules of the game :P? Peace, -Boem- (also i agree, that's a cool post terror :D, nicely written) Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

When you say 'life and triple resist or vendor', are you talking about rares?
Because all your counter examples are of uniques. | |

No the problem with NERFS is that eventually you will need to trade trade trade rather than grind grind grind. That is because eventually you no longer can find upgrades due to changes in affixes. This is especially true for anyone who started pre nerf. Ie heres my curr amulet which is a virgin drop besides blessing the implicit.
Pretty nice and glad I kept it. Its the only drop I use on my leveling/dps/non mf gear. Can I find an upgrade? Unlikely due to crit nerfs. So nerfing just killed any amulet grind. Same with current drops. How much harder is it to get a nice item with the constrained affixes when legacy items abound. Cchange the math dont change the gear. Then no legacies. How hard is this to figure out. Ie change crit mult calc instead of just nerfing new crit mult rolls. Every gear nerf makes farming and thus THE GAME less fun to play. This is the problem (besides desync and bs minion snapshotting) Last edited by faustian1 on May 9, 2014, 9:54:35 PM

" ...what? Most people who call Infernal Mantle "Troll Mantle" call it that because it shares the same base as Shav's, so when one sees it on the ground they experience a momentary surge of excitement followed by disappointment because they've obtained yet another 1 chaos unique. It is also likely that they know IM is also good for most fire builds (chaos damage penetrates resistance and lowers the amount of damage reflected, fairly decent ES). Is this thread going to be yet another anti-D3 circlejerk where people praise the depth of PoE and how it caters to their refined tastes *tips fedora* while bashing the simpleton pleb babby D3 players? |

I personally love trying new and unconventional builds (that I think of independently) and working with my gear as a level to make them strong.
My RF build aside, I don't really see anyone else using the builds I've been very successful with, which makes it fun for me to answer questions in parties like 'WTH you using man?' and getting 'oh man i want to try that' comments. The big thing is that you don't need perfect gear to make a build work. It's easier, yes, but given the prices of 'perfect' gear in the market, I'd rather craft my own stuff or purchase relatively inexpensive gear. Heck, I have a level 78 char that can get away with not being resist capped, and my ambush char, who just hit a3m, has been able to solo dominus (both difficulties), as well as a lot of other bosses, without capped resists. It's a solid skill to be able to make do with what you have, both in games and in real life. Cheers -Savage Theorycrafter/Build Creator for PORTAL guild
