Whew, look at all this deep, “adult” discussion. Make sure you a grab a wig to go with that nose. Game is barely out for a year and you’re pumping out over 3.2k posts. I’ll bet your life is a amazing, you sure got me, honk honk brother.
Not every class uses 2. Most use just 1. But after ladder start you don’t need to use any when making a new character if you’re playing with others. As for time spent finding a respec vs grush+chaos 1-80 they’re probably actually the same you’re right. But perhaps you’re repecing far too often or not willing to trade for the essences?
So I don’t respec as often as I should, but on ladder currently I have 18 tokens and that was without trying, with far too many reds to ever use. I do get that gear changes a lot very early on, but if you’re limited on a certain asset perhaps you shouldn’t use all of it and perhaps over invest even if it is a slight downgrade to your lifepool.
I don’t disagree at all. I said the time it takes to farm a token is wonky given how quickly a character can be remade, and the forum hall monitor walked in to let everyone know how much D2 he’s played for the past 20 years. He then proceeded to derail the thread, scaling linearly with his butthurt.
Yeah… I’m not stepping into the middle of that lol
Yeah I get that it is wonky a bit especially if your build is bad at doing baal or chaos it can be slow going finding those essences, but you do have options. Trading, conserving resets, and eventually farming tokens.
3x same skill GC with SoH = one new random skill GC .
Example 3x Nec Curse Gc could become Amazon Passive skill Gc etc etc.
Crafting ethereal weapons. At the moment 1x P ruby 1x ort 1x Jewel and a magic Berzerk axe rolls a crafted berzerk axe. This item can not be ethereal, want to change it.
No longer needs to be magic, can be white, grey, magic or rare, also want to add more weapon types to list including PB , CB’S not just Zerks.
Collecting blue zerks is not a easy thing for a craft that can not be ethereal.
