So I have about 50M gold burning a hole in my pocket and I'm thinking of dumping the dough into a new set of boots. I'm obviously looking at the big 3, Fire Walkers, Ice Climbers, and IK's. I'm currently running a whirlwind spec but like to go 2H at times.
I'm confused because I would really like the movement speed bonus that comes on Fire Walkers but Ice Climbers have better balance in stats generally speaking. IK stats are underwhelming but I wonder if the 5 piece set bonus is worth the trouble. Feedback please?
since u got the chest, most expensive piece, u might as well get a good rolls boot and comlpete the set later
I tend to agree with this to an extent, though my personal preference is towards fire walkers mainly due to affordability, and also in part due to the fire trail. While the 3 piece IK is really nice (4% melee damage reduction), fire walkers offer the very same reduction, can have similar or better stats, and cost half the gold due to the sheer amount on the AH. Like I told you in your other topic, in my opinion, Fire Walkers are the way to go until you can afford decently rolled Ice Climbers (ones with str, vit, AR, and runspeed are in the hundreds of millions). The fire trail actually helps quite a bit more than I originally gave it credit for, and is pretty decent in terms of usefulness. While it cant proc LOH, I do believe that it does proc LL. Now I do concede that in getting the fire walkers, in order to get a really good roll, it will be similar in price to a pair of IK boots, however, if you are willing to take a hit in either AR or vit (you can get Fire Walkers with 150+ str and either high vit/low AR or low vit/high AR for about the same price), the money that you save for going for a slightly more inexpensive item will pay off in the form that you can get some IK gloves with similar stats to yours and still get the IK 3 set bonus.

Thanks again for the reply man! Think I will take your advice and keep on farming. I tend to over think these decisions.
