I'm thinking about starting a Walkthru where my Hero is only allowed to equip crafted items with ONE exception: if the item is a class only item, he can equip it as long as it is rare (no magicals or whites allowed).

At the beginning of the walkthru, he'll be allowed to equip whatever he finds (white/magical/rare) until he's able to craft, then never anything else for that item slot again.

Absolutely no runewords allowed. Absolutely no eth items allowed. Any other rules?

Let me know what build to go for!

Thought about this too, but someone told me it's more viable just to stick with the weapon (which is what I did and doing again).

If you did, frenzy would be awesome.

Considering that blood weapons will be your most reliable source for weapons, you will have to use axes.
An i really want to see an axe pala

Hit power maces can be bad ass. I wanna see a 510% ed Legendary Mallet!

Zeal paly is probably your best bet with this too

watchin

why's that?



There are two viable recipes for weapons:

Hit Power Weapon
Magic Normal/Exceptional/Elite Blunt Weapon
Tir Rune
Perfect Sapphire
Any Jewel
+ (35-60%) Enhanced Damage
5% Chance To Cast Level 4 Frost Nova When Struck
Attacker Takes Damage of (3-7)

Note: Blunt Weapons are Clubs, Hammers, Maces, Scepters, Staves and Wands. Hammers are War Hammer, Maul, Great Maul. Clubs are Club and Spiked Club. Maces are Mace, Flail, and Morning Star.

and...

Blood Weapon
Magic Normal/Exceptional/Elite Axe
Ort Rune
Perfect Ruby
Any Jewel
+ (35-60%) Enhanced Damage
(1-4)% Life Stolen Per Hit
+(10-20) To Life

I like the idea of mauls a lot. but two-handed axes works great, too!

Honestly, I'm hoping that either wolf or bear druid or ww barb wins out lol
but we'll see... I will let the audience decide for me
thank you all for your votes so far.. i'm giving this poll a couple more days

Because he amount of farming needed for gems is insane apart from rolling decent mods on gear after each grind.

it would be interesting for sure, but you would either spend most of your time farming gem shrines which is a really dull, not very rewarding grind.
maybe just stick to wepaons, or weapons + jewelry or something that's not 100% of your gear.

I understand your point. However, if I were to allow other gear to be equipped, it would mean hours of grinding bosses like all other mainstream WTs. With this kind of approach (crafts only) I'd only farm areas for xp and gems/jewels/runes. It's gonna be a very different feel. ^^

what a stupid idea
