which is a very fair argument - my fissure has 45 rep on his basic gear, arguably i could use a 3 pruby helm but id still hit 30 rep, the more important feature in skull the helm for me is the 57% mana regen which lets me eliminate mana issues 99% of the time.  i really only run low when im in a 1v2 situation and i have to get creative with my fissure placements, limiting regen downtime.

running to regen is outright stupid - although when im forced into situations where its a 1v2 or even 1v3 im going to play defensively enough so that i have a "chance" to win.  still this doesnt mean i run off mini-maps for 30+ secs then pick and choose my spots, im going to essentially pick a spot where i have a chance to dish out damage and limit incoming damage and hold that position

still, plenty of char setups can reach ~30 rep without making much sacrifice, its the fact taht fissures basically only use 3 socket/3 fissure helms that give them a distinct 15 rep/57% regen on them at all times.  if you took out my amulet (10 rep) and belt (4 rep), id still have 31 rep.

You know I was giving serous thought to giving in and making a zealer while I had the coins instead of collecting a bunch of nec gear. But you have inspired me to make a fissure. After seeing how effective yours is and the play style it looks fun as hell and a overall strong char.

fissure has a very interesting learning curve, its rather different to have your main skill have a 3 second cooldown

I like to be real aggressive which sometimes is my downfall. But after dueling with him for those 3 some hours the other night much like a nec it seems to me that a fissure can be played both super aggressively and defensively given the situation.

Since i wont make another fissure, im going to try to find you a +3 fissure + raven hat. That would be very fun imo vs 99% of chars with shields

maybe, although i dont know if thats even possible

my current helm has +1 dire which actually has put people into block and is a decent shield since my mana pool is high enough to justify the cost ( 20 mana)
