Sure, but that is not the point of this thread, the point is why is there such disparity in the "hardness" of the items required to craft these amulets?.
The way i see it, there is no disparity, your just making the mistake of lumping all crafted items together. This amulet is the first piece of rare jewelry you can craft and only the second one total. If you want to compare it to something compare it to hellfire's, which are uniques and require by far the hardest mats to farm.
I think the brimstone needed is fair and was needed, it's not supposed to be easy anyways.
Funny, the typical public game for me usually involves killing each elite pack solo and then raising the 3 ranged class scattered around so they don't have to inconvenience themselves with the walk back. Sure maybe my dps is only 50k with full MF gear and WW build but I'm landing 5 times more hits then most ranged classes and I'm dying 20 times less so I'm almost always the largest contributor of the group. I have met a few amazing ranged class, particularly one wizard but 95% of the time I'm carrying them and have to listen to their cries when I need to vendor Rares and leave for 10 sec so it works both ways man.
