So today I'm leveling up my witch doctor, and every couple levels I'm going back to my stash to see if I can use any of the old legendaries my wizard stored away.
I see a staff is newly available to me, so I put it on to check it out, and it ended up increasing my damage by x10! Low and behold I had a level 70 staff with a 21 level reduction on it! I never even realized I had that. Needless to say I'm just wrecking the place now. "Enemies sometimes flee at the sight of this staff" ... no kidding!!:D
Anyone else have cool stories about forgotten loot?
Wow, I guess that just goes to show you that an OP weapon isn't going to let you waltz through TORMENT mode if you kinda suck.
I tried torment 1, and it wasn't bad at all, so I upped it to torment 2, and got my ass handed to me over and over. Is there supposed to be that big a jump there, or did I get unlucky? I'd never seen so many crazy fast mobs throwing AOE everywhere that'd almost instant kill me. And multiple rares and elites at the same time ... and holy cripes, I must have died 20 times to the rift guardian! Oh well, at least I finished it.
I don't think I've ever forget about any items I have on my account,.. Though given that I have all 4 tabs of stuff AND 3 mules, remembering where exactly the item is might be not as easy.
As for the difficulty jump between t1 and t2, its 144% increase in monster damage, so, yes, the difference is quite noticeable (this is especially true for wizards that rely on shields: at lvl 70 my wiz can ignore pretty much everything on t2 thanks to them, but on t3 the shields already fail me routinely when fighting elites... and on t4...)
And call it hardcore-hoarding mode, but I have full sets of leveling gear (especially at 40+... pretty much everything sans jewelry is level reduced), so now I can go 1 to 70 on torment 1 without ever lowering difficulty.

my one and only Thunderfury was level 61, that made things go smoothly at the top of the hill
