If you look at the shako for example, and analyze it:
Yes it does give 6 to all skills but the +6 to skills is being additive to all the +4 skills that charms offer, so upping a skill from level 50 to 56 adds little to no benefit.
The other 4 mods are just mediocre.
So it basically does NOTHING.
It depends on the character and build. This season, getting additive damage is much harder than multiplicative one. For a bone spirit necro, every 1 skill point is 15% more base damage, 6 skill points => +90% more damage. You probably think but that's not multiplicative. Bone spirit's core skill upgrade offers x3% more damage per essense spent for casting bone spirit. I can easily empty 300 essense 2-3 times per second. That's x900% multiplicative damage which needs a base to multiply.
To be honest, I like this season.
There isn't the power creep of last season, but I'm still doing pit 100-110 with my Necromancer and Barbarian without spectacular gear.
I did Mephisto T10 and got 10 out of the number 9 Achievement. So achievement job done. No anger to get them all
The worms in helltide give ridiculous xp and maybe this will be the first season to get p300.
And if not well helltides is for me the big fun this season. And thats what it is about. Having fun.
Same sentiment, I am just chilling and playing with friends. The season is too short though for the grind.
