The desire for the "perfect" base

mikedm wrote: 3 months ago

the difference in market value for a perfect item vs a 1 off perfect is massive

And a casual player like myself knows this, and if I ever find that perfect base, I'm gonna sell it and keep my 30 less defense haha

perfect base is best for sale, I am also follow the guide line that the same performance/or 1 % lower to perfect base.

You can build 10 char with that guide but if you choose perfect, resources only enough to build half of the char. (perfect Grief, perfect engima then you broke)
1 3os perfect sup

Archon Plate is enough for people to build,
85/100 Score ,light Infinity sorc + blizzard sorc + paladin all kinds x3 with engima + bar all kinds x2 with engima + 1 nec okay build.

but if people play long enough, like different class each season non ladder. it will be more fun than single class farm the same scenario every day.

In the end, it depends where you choose to set the bar for your chars.

For example for me it's "not far from perfect". Typically my small charms are at 10 res instead of 11 (but enough to reach 75 all in hell), my Enigma is a perfect or less than 10 défense from perfect... but for a non.Superior to avoid the annoying repair costs. Though definitely

Mage Plate for my necro to put 0 point in str, and still wear an

Eth

Monarch on CtA swap to make it tankier !

Others want full perfect.

Others prefer looks and skins.

Set your goals, and you can feel happy when you reach it (if you set it reachable !)

PS. And trading makes than wayyyy easier

A decent MP is usually around

Ist, for an Enigma that costs

Jah

Ber it's worth it for 150-200 extra def

In this char setup, you can definitely buy a

Archon Plate with 490+ def 3os with 1

Ist, str requirement is only 100-110 that I cant remember clearly.

To fix this and keep str idea, you might want to remove Spirit and equip

Lidless Wall. and will have around 90 str move to vit.

About repair cost, the solution is petty easy, pay 2

Ist to get 20mm

Gold from market. This is easy cheap solution, 20 mm for repair cost, is usually entire game time.

Or build a

Gold find bar to do 1 trav run so that when you do your main char run, you dont need pick anything other than valuable item more than 2

Perfect Amethyst.( bar budget full build usually cost more than 1

Jah which is 100mm

Gold , far expensive than your buy

Gold from market. If you build better run

Gold find more often to get return)

Agree on other idea.

I usually keep an near perfect(aka 95 Score) on the main char that I play most of time.
And pays

Ist -

Jah with 85-95 score cheap item on my not so frequent char. (around 20 % of time char).
And pays

Perfect Amethyst -

Vex with 75-85 score cheap item on my rare play char. (1% of play time,

Gold find, special case magic find like normal-nightmare cow).

Any of that sounds like way too much hassle for a bit of extra defense, IMO.

that is true, only add 200 def but need to rebuild Enigma

At this stage, if not because of perfect base/runeword/charm/jewel, I don't really know what keeps me hit the "play" button anymore

In the end phase,

we can play
- Build general purpose perfect amulet.
Some LS build need like 200 fcr, if get something good, it can change some part of equipment with less fcr.


Or play different classes with same performance to perfect base.
popular classes, sorc x 3 type, paladin x 3, bar x 2, nec x 2, amazon x 3 , assain.

Well it definitely comes to what every single person prefers. Some people also want same skin for their charms for example. Some others min/maxing everything not accepting anything less but perfection, some others couldnt care less.

Personally im the type of player that even tho im not fully casual per say ( im either playing too much or making long breaks ) that i... couldnt care less.

I always found it an excellent idea of selling my perfect bases or perfect rolls cause im mostly practical. The weapon is pretty much still the same with 1% less attack speed or 10 defence less when it comes to the base items.

Was actually planning on using Lidless ar first on this char, but now that I have 20 stats on Anni and Torch, 10+ str on a ring and 14 on Sandstorm, + level 94, can get to

Eth

Monarch with 0 str.
However I need MP to reach the str for (

Eth, can't get without

Eth) Sandstorm if I don't wear Enigma on my old Vipermagi with Pammy .

Matter of history and now that I have personalized the Enigma I don't change it

As for my play, with less than 4 hours à week, I am more limited by play time than actual value. Build a char is not an option, still have not finished my "one of each hell beaten" yet in 5 years
