What are the slots that, for some build, the BIS item is magic/rare/crafted?

Hi

From what i saw people using and saw on guides, very few slots on each build are magic/rare/crafted considering BIS itens:

- Rare/Crafted items that I already saw as BIS
Head ("god" 2 skill

Circlet - in special for builds that need FCR)
Amulet (builds that need FCR)
Ring (most attack builds and builds that need FCR)
Gloves (Assassin and Amazon - 2 skill 20 ias)

Boots (tri-res)

- Rare/Crafted items that I never saw as BIS
Body
Shield

Belt
Weapon

- Magic items that I already saw as BIS
Ring (40 mf)
Amulet (50 mf | 3 skill)
Head (3 skill | Jeweler's)
Body (Jeweler's)
Shield (Jeweler's - only

Monarch)
Gloves (Assassin and Amazon - 3 skill 20 ias)

- Magic items that I never saw as BIS

Belt

Boots
Weapon

I'm asking about this to filter what worth to look while farming on "end game"...

What I'm looking while farming today:

Rare/magic head (just

Circlet)
Rare/magic ring
Rare/magic amulet
Magic Body (only elite light)
Magic Shield (only

Monarch)
Magic/rare gloves
Rare

Boots
Rare belts

And I start to think that do not worth to look for rare belts as I always saw unique/set belts as BIS on builds

I don't have much to add, that seems pretty accurate. I think there are some White wands and necro shields though.

White wands fall in the "Base"/"Runeword" category
(There are a lot of Bases that I look,

Wand is one of them )

About necro shields, do you mean that some builds look for a magic/rare with +6/+5 to some skills?

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I think they have to be rolled, but I'm not sure what the drop that they're looking for is.

Yup. +6 is a massive chunk for some necro builds and can totally end up BiS, esp with 2 sockets. Not that you're likely to find it but if you do...def keep! Or sell I guess..but not for cheap

I like to identify rare belts as they can have 24% faster hit recovery and some resistances as well and IMO some yellow belts are way better than some uniques for melee builds, for example.

Every BiS that i found i sell and then buy the same item, but slightly worse.

For example, i found once a Mara's with 29 res. Sold it and bought like 3 or 4 maras with 23, 22 res, best thing ever lol

The stuff that most don't bother picking up. #truestory

Yes
I look at every magic Amazon

Javelin for this

Forgot that... we have one case of BIS magic weapon

For trapsins, magic +6/40

Claws with 2 sockets might be considered BiS.

"with 2 sockets" from

Larzuk Quest, right?

Correct

What do people look for in rare belts? I never really ID them.. FHR and resist?

24%fhr, 20+str, life, and res

I guess I’ll add rare belts to my collection of things to ID lol. Always fun to learn and try out new things.

They are mainly used in PVP so you won't really find them in PVM build sheets.

Ah I see. That’s probably why I never look into it. Haven’t pvp since 1.10.

Actually, d2r is the first time where I’m playing through the game and trying different classes. Definitely a different play style than 20 years ago.

3/20 (2 open socket) poison and Bone

Circlet.

3/20 (2 open socket) cold skills

Circlet. Allows Doom to be used instead of

Death's Fathom.

Jewellers

Monarch of the Colossus.

Jewellers Armor of the whale (various bases depending on level, character etc.)

Volcanic Jared Stone (or

Sacred Globe). Good luck finding one... 2 open sockets.
