Kind of funny looking back at it. Everyone was busy rolling their shiny new warlocks during the first week of ladder like that was the main event, meanwhile the real value was sitting in the Latent sunder charms the whole time. A few of us saw it early and just camped the forums, refreshing threads, jumping on trades the second those charms popped up. We grabbed them, rolled them, and stockpiled the good ones while the hype was focused somewhere else.
Now a week or so later we’re sitting on stacks of solid charms and people are just realizing how important they actually are. It’s not really about the new class anyway. You can always level a character whenever you want, that’s just time investment. Gear and rare items are different, time alone doesn’t guarantee you’ll ever get them. That’s why the long time traders and market watchers moved early instead of chasing the distraction.
So yeah, I get why some people feel like they missed the train, but that’s just how D2 has always worked. The ones who recognize the key items in an update make their moves quietly, and later on they’re just playing the game comfortably while everyone else is scrambling to catch up.
