Itemization makes very little sense

[Slomo4shO]

Class specific items can roll affixes that have absolutely no use for the class. For example: a Sentinel Relic will roll Cold/Poison Damage when there are ZERO skills that can do Cold/Poison Damage. This feels especially bad for "Weaver's Will" pieces. Why are their no affix limitations on class specific gear?

Gear has higher level requirements if you craft it to higher tiers but you can get a unique with multiple tier 7 rolls and the level requirements stay the same. Why does a rare items continually increase in level requirements but no such restriction is in place for Unique items and items that drop of nemesis?

Why are "Legendary Potential" (or well rolled Weaver's) unique items always Best In Slot?

Why is there no way to upgrade to Tier 6 or 7 on Rare/Exalted items?

Why is glyph of despair success rate tied to affix level?

Why is glyph of chaos unusable at tier 5 even if there is forging potential?

Why is it such a chore to disenchant Set items? Does everything have to be tied to Graveyards?

Why is there so much RNG withing each item? There is range within the unique affixes, there is a range within the item's intrinsic values, and then there is range in affixes themselves. To get any piece of gear to roll perfect is infinitesimally small.

edit: thanks for the clarification on lightening affix, changed to cold/poison for same emphasis. Skill synergies seem to revolve around 2 to 3 damage types per class. Scaling a single damage type is required for optimization.

- Check the Smite and Javelin skill trees for a start. Sentinel has some lightning going on.

- Because unique items have level restrictions more or less hard-coded into them.

- Because the more legendary potential you have in an item, the more stats you can cram into it.

- Because tier 6 and 7 are drop only, tiers 1-5 are craftable.

- Dunno, maybe because of design?

- Because you can't upgrade a tier 5 affix by crafting.

- Because it's designed so. You get a lot of the shards per run.

i really hate this type of enchantment. elite dangerous was ruined by the engineers update because of sytems like this. its live service bloat.

they could improve this by adding a glyph or rune that uses all the forging potential to turn an affix to T6 at the very least.

id rather they remove the RNG bloat here myself.

no comment. havent used it that much.

again here more bloat. they should just fix the sets.

Fine, how about cold or poison damage?

Yes, arbitrary design choices.

The glyph is designed to reroll affixes. It's a design choice to not let it reroll to another tier 5 affix.

I am just trying to rationalize the design choices.

Yes, most of end game seems like RNG for the sake of RNG. Especially for itemization.

Not in the sentinel arsenal. You need to roll other classes for those. Again, design choice.

Ok, make a suggestion how to change them.

Check Rune of Havoc and Rune of Redemption.
