Bro you tripping
I don't see why people hate on Sandstorm Treks. People saying they're trash when they provide life, vita, and FHR. They say the FHR isn't needed, but then they replace a 40 hp skiller with a 12 fhr. Way to go backwards there.
They say str isn't needed, while they dump hundreds or thousands of fg onto jewelry with str and life.
Resistances? Fire you sorb with Hotspurs and Dwarf, Cold with Dual Ravens and charm stack, Light you sorb with Wisp and Lo. Poison from melee sins or charms? Treks are better. At the end all you're doing is spending extra on some res that has 10 fhr less than Treks, only 10 frw more (still less than Aldurs), and no life or str which is needed in pretty much every build.
Aldurs at least has BO able life, Fire res, 20 FRW more, and is super cheap. Shadow Dancers is a Max Block or FHR filler, but has no life and has high str. So you're left with FRW. Is the 10% FRW the deal breaker? If yes, you might as well go Aldurs since it has more FRW and everything else. If not, then you might as well go Treks because you're trading 10% FRW for 3 useful mods (and poison res).
The true clueless people here are the ones who spend their fg on tri res boots. For PvM sure War Travs are alright, but in regards to PvP or just a cheap swap in, Aldurs or Treks are easy go to boots that are actually decent.
Are ETH Treks overrated? Yes, yes they are.
