I was shocked and disappointed when I found out that "enchanting" is really just WoW's version of reforging...and even then it's not even that.

I want to take stat A and convert it to stat B. No rng BS.

The mystic in her current form, is a huge let down, and is absolutely worthless.

By using the expression "absolutely worthless" you're deeming her as useful for nothing. Like nothing at all. Like not even in a single situation, ever.

So I guess all the 11 pieces of gear that I'm using, were not made more powerful and fitting to my build by enchanting, since that's not possible if she's worthless (in absolute terms). I think I'm also going to throw away the 5-6 items that I have stored in my stash that could be amazing if one of their stats is rerolled into something else. Because you know, enchanting is worthless and I can't get anything out of it.

So yeah, let's not make a mountain out of a molehill. Specially not because we just want things handed to us instead of actually putting some effort into getting it.

To me yes, worthless. I've burned through almost 5 million gold, and mats playing with her, and never did get the desired stats.

It comes down to a cost/benefit analysis. The Mystic's current cost, is not worth the benefit she provides. I have no aspirations to ever play the game beyond T2 or T3, so I'm not going to grind gold for hours to squeeze a little bit more dps out of my character. That was why I quit the game before patch 2.0, because, to me, the game was just grinding gold, and buying upgrades on the AH since no usable gear ever dropped.

And I will say again, since you couldn't pick up on it earlier, this is obviously how I feel in regards to me and my play style. My views are not necessarily shared (obviously) with others.

As for the typical childish teenage comeback of you "just want things handed to you" line..I would have no problems paying a set price of say 500,000 gold for one "enchant" if it meant there were no RNG. If you are unaware, it takes time and work to get that 500k gold, FYI.

Not trolling, it was a question. I just don't see much value in gold anymore.

I came back for 2.0. I spent some on the blacksmith to see he's still rng garbage. I haven't messed with the enchanter yet, because I don't understand her.

I do combine all my gems and have mostly flawless royal gems in my gear, which are pricy. However, the prices of those gems are extremely cheap compared to the amount of gold you bring in by just playing the game. And creating those gems are a one time expense.

So I still don't see where the gold sink is.

with the AH gone, what do you need gold for? Other than repairs?

What I've always wondered about "world first" videos is, how do we know it's the first?
Is there a website that tracks these things?

Has CotA runs changed recently? The few videos I've watched say to kill everything but the elite that is in there. I haven't done CotA runs until today, but the past 10 games I've tried, the elite was damn near the door every time.

Is this intended?

Oddly enough, I'm not getting any rubberbanding now. One of the reasons I quit last July (1.0.3 I believe), was because the rubberbanding got to a point where the game was unplayable. I just came back to the game today and was relieved that the game is perfect now.

I did get a new computer since last July, and my internet is a little better.

I don't understand the green gems in all the weapons here. I had a red gem in my weapon, removed it, and put in a green one, and as suspected, I lost DPS.

What am I missing?

Who is this Athene? I see the name often.

Sure isn't mandatory at all, I'm in act 2 of inferno with my wizard now, never used diamond skin and never will. It's a bad skill and you should feel bad for using it.

I'm almost to act 3 in hell and haven't found a need yet. I haven't researched builds (or anything about the Wizard really), because I haven't hit any roadblocks yet.

I hope I don't end up needing it.

Ok, I'll bite.

Mirror Skin looks useful. Diamond Skin absorbs 7176 damage, and with Mirror skin, will return 3588 of that damage back to the attacker.

How is that bad? I have a shield and it does damage. Win!

However, I will admit I have never used diamond skin. I've just started Hell on my Wizard and just haven't found a need for it yet. I'm assuming starting in Hell (or Inferno?) I'm going to start getting hit, and will need Diamond Skin? If so, I can see how the Crystal Shell rune would be better if I were taking damage.

Please don't post topic title's in all caps.

Well, if they don't fix it, the solution should be simple. Don't rez anyone, and don't accept one if you do get rezzed.

Blips in the internet happen. People may also just have an always shitty connection. I dc'd for just a few seconds, thought I was alive and fighting, then all of a sudden I was dead. I then realized that I dc'd.

For this reason alone, I can't imagine why anyone would ever be interested in a hardcore toon.
