In regard to Jaetch's Ninja Wizard...with all due respect, because Jaetch has done some great things with Wizards...I feel like that's a prime example of why the Auction House needs to go. Without an Auction House, a player will get into a game and see someone with an awesome build, and go, "dude! That's pretty amazing, how long did it take you to put that together? What do you emphasize on your gear? What skills are you putting together, and what's your battle strategy?" But with the AH in place, a person can copy that with fairly little trouble. Even the Marquises in his gear are not that hard to come by with trips to the AH.
Again, not trying to cut Jaetch down or even the build, I took a peek, it seems like an amazing amount of fun...those particular Wizard hats with the mouth covered really seem made for it. I guess I'll just be happy when the AH goes, that's all, :-)
You're totally right about the AH. The build is virtually impossible without access to different gear choices on the AH (hell, instead of stacking just primary, vit, AR/armor, trifecta, I have to also factor in gear aesthetics and dexterity?), just like 0-Dogs WD, SNS wizards, legacy Nat DHs, etc. But this all stems from the poor loot that drops in game. As long as the drops are quality and useable more often than not, then there's no need for the AH.
I'm all for AH removal. Just as long as itemization and the quality of drops are fixed.
