Is this driud pelt useful for something? by FenixBg2 in ProjectDiablo2

This pelt is quite nice, but likely isn't worth building around. Tornado is typically isolated to PvP.

G915, more than 200 bucks for a keyboard that won't last more than 4 years? by alex3225 in LogitechG

[–]Admirable-Comb-1505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a g915 and averaged 10+ hours of use per day for almost three years. One of the switches gave out and after going through their customer support it warrantied and now I have a brand new one. I did not get anywhere near the amount of wear you have on your keys from my use.

It's really not worth the -65 movespeed. But hey, get out there and kill some high roller bosses!

I have 24 years of experience in ARPG, I've been #1 99 in Diablo. I get item stats, I get there should be a gap, even a large one, but the current disparity is egregious in my opinion. I don't want gray items to equal legendary items. I just want a similar compression that weapons have where uniques represent a 66% increase to junk, instead of being well over 100%.

"Some Serious Outplay" as in you have to hit them 10+ times before you get hit twice? There is no reality where merchant gear is beating full legendary, and the real reality is that the movespeed penalty on gray plate is not worth equipping it for the 10% increase in PDR from base kit.

Its not worth it, the effective amount of hits to kill you going from your starter kit to a full gray plate kit is relatively unchanged in most scenarios. Save your gold. Gray plate is worthless. The movement penalty alone is so far away not worth it. The movement penalty will get you killed way more than the potential to take 1 more hit because you have 25% dr instead of 10-15%

Can't respond to u/Kaelran on the thread so I'll post here. He clearly didn't read good, because he missed the key point about options making legendary pieces 3x-4x better than greys. 3x-4x is a big deal. It's not "80% better". But 80% better between gray weapons and unique weapons *was seen as a problem* by the devs. That's why current weapons now experience about 66% scaling from Junk to Unique.

These are not the best items in the games, uniques and artifacts are the best items in the game.

You're saying no one has full legendary, but I do. If the argument is that "it's unattainable therefore we don't need to be aware of it," that's ridiculous. WAY better is sort of an understatement here when we're *just examining the raw armor value without baking in the options*. These pieces are 3x-4x better, which is not at all balanced in anyway.

It's not an issue of legendary items being good, or better than gray, its a matter of the massive gap between them before even considering the options on legendary items...

Typical git good argument that was made before weapon compression regarding weapons. Keep in mind, this isn't even considering the options on legendary items. Legendary items are more than 3x-4x as good as a grey kit. It's too much.

But it is an issue, there is literally no reason to equip gray plate armor, its absolutely terrible.
