Please explain how charms makes your game enjoyable

Since everybody and their mother plays the Warlock this ladder season (me too, my ma doesn't play D2 as far as I know), all items that are of no use to the warlock (e. g. skillers for the other seven classes) have dropped significantly in value. Everywhere.

@ipatrishkov Meh no one playing Druid right now, except me lol.

Make a hc and I will deck you out. Just get some spare runes. Also, I have been playing with the thought in my head to make a

Rabies Druid. Never played the class before though

Large charms can be pretty strong for melee chars not needing +skills (max damage + attack rating + life) On ladder, I pick up all large charms and last season I got lucky and sold a strong melee lc for almost 2

Jah

Yup. There are great ones out there, but like you said it's relegated to melee which isn't exactly a popular route these days. I refer to this chart on skiller viability:image.png

Elemental skillers are A tear? I have about 4 I am trying to sell in HCNL for puny

Pul each and no one wants them.

Up to the point, my favourite item in the game is the charm, lol. I get most excited when a grand charm is dropped. If I could wear charms on all gear slots too , I would. I guess it’s just a matter of preference

His picture is correct in past. But it looks like ages, I think it maybe build before jav amazon become strong and no Mosaic . Very early days

cold resistance can reduce to very low level, unlike now. cold sorc is super strong.

I like charms... They're customizable ways to buffer your char... For instance, I've got a bunch of skillers and FHR charms that I use to kill dclone (and other hard bosses). I've got small charms that balance the fact that my equipment does not give me enough fire resist. I've got MF charms to help me get better drops.

I'm playing in a steam deck so I cant put stuff from the Ground directly to the cube, so I have 2x4 spaces to get loot. It works super well for me and makes the game enjoyable.

Notice what everyone highlights as the good part about charms: customization, greater power, balancing gear choices.

Charms add something good to the game, they just do it in a terrible way. Any system that didn't clutter up your inventory would be better.

I have never been that bothered because by the time you fill your inventory up with actual good charms your not picking up items all that often anyways - by that point your looking for actual valuable items

You can have the cake or you can eat the cake. Or you can eat half the cake and keep the other half. Why would it be better to be told that you must eat the cake or you must not eat the cake? The real answer is that you want to have the cake and eat it too.

For people who are enjoying the Chronicle, therefore, grabbing uniques/sets to do a little check for eligibility, grabbing gems and runes off the Ground, couple backup potions etc., a dedicated charm inventory would be a godsend, now more than ever.

I don't like the idea of a dedicated inventory for charms because there'll be trade offs and I'm not sure if this is good or bad

for instance, I fill practically my whole inventory with skillers and FHR charms when doing dclone (and a couple times I've done ubers with them), but when I'm farming /doing TZ then I use my MF charms to get better loot. the fact that it is customizable is important to me. I'm afraid it may go away with a dedicated inventory

I like charms in general, it's very satisfying when you get a good one, and the flexibility they give you is nice.

However, I do agree with OP in some ways. D2's itemisation is so good that you find a ton of items worth ID'ing on every run, just in case they turn out to be godly. Obviously they never do turn out to be godly but that's the D2 loop right there!

If you're just hunting for runes, bases, and those super rare uniques, the cube is more than enough space. If you're picking up every pair of rare

Boots, every pair of magic and rare gloves, every pelt, etc., it can get a touch irritating.

Having said that, I don't tend to carry any ID scrolls with me so perhaps I should stop being a fool and put some in my

Belt.
