Greetings!

So, I have 300 Demonic Essences in my stash. I'm planning on doing a huge crafting session! But what should I craft?


I've made 550 Amulets so far (1 ok one, the rest were crap), and 250-ish bracers and gloves. I have JUST made the transition to all resist (no more One With Everything, yay!) so keep in mind I need all resist on my gear. I will craft on friday and will probably have a lot more DE by then.

Amulet?
Gloves?
Bracers?
Shoulders?
Chest?

Vote and let me know what you think! Ty.

Hard call - but bracers and gloves are pretty much the only two craft's that you can get more allres out of.

It's just going to be hard to beat that crit/huge vit roll on the bracers - but it is out there somewhere ofcourse.

So this time around my vote will go to gloves and bracers

Nice shoulders btw

Thanks for your feedback! I think the shoulders were my 5th or 6th craft.

You have some good points there. I know the gloves have low att speed and medium all resist, but I had to find some gloves with trifecta, all res, vit and high dex. These were the only ones I could find. Been looking a while

I need more votes though! Keep 'em coming!

I've got about 180. And I have no clue where to start either, specially since I have 5 characters in different gear/power levels

I voted for gloves, because crafting a high-stat trifecta gloves (no matter how shitty the crit/atkspeed rolls are) is awesome

Hmm, I see. I've considered the gloves the hardest to upgrade, but I will take your words into consideration I mean, I will need 5 out of 5 random stats to roll for it to be worth it. Dex is a given, but I still need vitality, all resist and trifecta.

More votes!

Isn't chest a good alternative?

I was going to say "No way, I would lose my set bonus" etc., but after looking at some of the crafted chests...I think you are on to something. I would have to be very lucky to get 3 sockets and high vit + AR, but luck is needed for all items. I will add it to the poll

[Temsen]

I say bracers, they have the lowest amont of AR on your gear and you'd need only 3 right rolls (dex/vit, crit and AR) as opposed to all 5 for gloves. Even if you lose some vit, I'd say more dex and AR will make that up (also possibly an armor roll in addition.)

[KalikooJack]

Thats really hard. Nice gear by the way. I voted for gloves, but only because I couldnt choose 3 of them (gloves, bracers, ammy).

To get an upgrade for any slot, you might just need a bit more essences than 300... Lets hope not.

Maybe you can do 100 of each?

Well, I've got 300 now, but this is my 3rd 300+ crafting session

It's fun to see how spread the voting is. Oh well, I'll craft whatever is on top of the list on friday!

I need more votes

I've postponed the crafting session until saturday, so I will have more Demonic Essences by then. Fingers crossed

Voted amulet. While it might not be as easy to get trifecta with high AR here, this might not even be needed for a solid upgrade.
Your current amulet admittedly has high CHC/CHD and some nice AR, but you can pretty easily get an upgrade for both your DPS and your EHP here.

There's just so many combinations that'd possibly buff your character that this would definately be my first choice.

[Kalleousi]

Did you craft both of your swords? Because those beasts are really impressive!

Hmm, I see. I thought my bracers would get the most votes, but it seems they are the last ones to be upgraded (if I look at the votes). What worries me, is that the amulet Is very hard to replace. I can afford losing some crit dmg, but not crit chance. Ok, I'll stop myself here. There is a reason why I'm asking you guys. I really can't make up my mind...

No, I bought both off the GAH. I think I paid 1.1b for the left one and 900m for the other. A few months ago.

Thanks to both of you!

One last bump before the weekend

[Rhye]

300 amu crafts later (850 total) and this is what I got:

Nothing. All crap. Better luck next time? Let's hope so

[Rhye]

Well, I made 3 more amulets today. The last one was:

338 Dex
80 str
37 lightning resist
1250 life after kill
98% cri dmg
10% crit chance

That's 14k dps upgrade, but a loss of 79 all resist. SO CLOSE!
