Which sunder charms to keep

Hello, just curious to see what’s the common practice when you drop a sunder charm with a bad roll?
Is it worth to keep a sunder (cold light psn fire) with more than 80% damage?

Can be used to make Runewords:

in my experience, ppl would not take 80+ ones even for nothing.

I have difficulty giving 71, 72 ones away for free.

Non-Ladder, Softcore. You may mix and match by rates below.

Unless you're talking about the first few days of a new ladder season, sunder charms really are a dime a dozen and anything that isn't a perfect roll quickly becomes worthless.

I mean, as long as that 80+ is your first one then sure and simply upgrade whenever you can.

Non-perfect rolls that have minimal, but at least any interest, are lightning and physical (still not the obviously bad ones) - that's what I experienced so far

Anyway assuming you play online, trading into (almost)perfect ones is super easy and cheap

In response..

Lightning Bolt you to the face!

Thing is, and maybe this was a genius move on behalf of Blizz, leveraging most sunder 'builds' doesn't radically change the game. Basically resulted in nuanced variations in many builds yet nothing 'OP'. As a result demand remains low for the charms (except for perfect rolls).

Sunder charms were probably among the most game-changing changes ever. Certainly since D2:R. It single-handedly took nearly all top-end builds (nearly all of which focus on 1 dmg type to truly min/max) from "skip X while running Y and never even enter zone Z due to immunities" to "steamroll whatever the hell you want" which coincidentally also became more important than ever due to TZ rotations forcing you into "immune zones" on a regular basis. They're at the very core of nearly all single element builds.

They're merely also a dime a dozen and the range on the one variable roll isn't that big, meaning even perfect ones are readily available all over the place. Take a comparatively high drop rate in the most farmed zones out there (read: TZs), add limited char space and the fact that you will never need more than 1 per char (for all but the most niche of builds) and you inevitably very quickly end up with a massively oversupplied market and a massive value drop because of it.

@Schnorki Point taken, and I knew I'd take some heat with my comment. I guess my point is that you can leverage S tier builds (pre-sunder introduction) and perform more than fine. Sunders were thus additive in terms of build variety versus replacing or out-right reducing options.
