I was actually pretty disappointed with the game as a whole. There is absolutely nothing in the game that strikes me as amazing, challenging or well thought out.

People saying Inferno is tough? Bullshit. Its just like all the other previous difficulties with more monster affixes and ten times the health. Bar a few elites which nobody can kill (Vampiric, Teleport, Fast, Shielding), every other elite is a walk in the park.

I'm on Act II Inferno right now and the only thing you do is:

1) Does this weapon drop have more DPS than my current weapon?
2) Does this armor drop have more primary stat that my current armor part.


78 hours in, 23k DPS later and I feel no reason to improve my character any more. Why should I when I can just buy stuff off the AH?

Lets not even talk about Method and all the other "top players" in the world who exploited the resplendent chest bug in Act II for their 1k+ DPS weapons.

Basically every single top DPS weapon you see in the AH is a direct result of their exploit. They basically reran the resplendent chest in Blood & Sand that was guaranteed to spawn at the same spot every single time. This let them gear themselves up to the point they could solo Act IV, more notably on their wizard using hydra.

It has since been hotfixed, long before I managed to get into Inferno.

Actually they do need to fix the itemization. Currently there is no point to legendaries as a blue will outclass it 90% of the time because the only stats you ever need on a weapon are damage, primary stat and IAS.


Legendaries should be special. They don't have to be amazing damage, they just need to do things that other weapons can't. Windforce is a good example, it provides knockback which is a very rare affix. That gives me reason to make a knockback build.

Right now 90% of the legendaries and set equipment are trash. Why should I use Danetta's set when my own yellows have more stat benefit that a set that you may never see.

Itemization is very very dumbed down and I hope they fix it because the game has potential. Combat is quite pleasing, bar the occasional impossible 4 affix elites.

Did you even read my post? I said they don't have to be the best. What part of that don't you get? They must be special enough to justify being unique and that is via doing stuff normal weapons cannot do, much like in D2. I've read all the responses for and against the argument by both Blizzard proponents and opponents for the case.

Windforce is good, it has knockback. This alone lets me design a build based on that property. Why can't OTHER legendaries do something special? Doesn't have to be the top DPS, just has to do something different to make them legendary. Variety is good.

If anything, its YOU who don't know what you're talking about.

Blue post already said that perfect yellow > perfect legendary. This is acceptable IF a legendary does something special.

I would trade damage for say higher chance to pierce on hungering arrow. That makes the legendary truly legendary cause other weapons can't get it and you must sacrifice something for it.
