Then use other armor. You have many to choose from.

Enigma covers everything I need. There’s no need to wear anything else. (Once I make it)
Although it doesn’t affect me, it would be nice if there was more competition with actually having to make a choice end game ladder
Until then
Enigma every time
Except on my sorc
It’s just a little stale

It would be interesting if there was other non-chest gear that had +1 to tele. Personally I don’t like the mf on Enigma, I like 50% or less.
I would be fine with enigma being an MF armor
Teleport and 99% mf
Even the 2 skills is fine
My main issue lies with the massive amount of stats it gives back with strength and the unnecessary 45% FRW when it already has teleport
I’m not saying remove these but I feel like there’s room to rework these and still keep enigma very powerful.
But that’s just my experience with it
you are completely missing the point… the point is
housing prices increased at a rate 4-8x higher than wages
which is why people are mad at huge corporations keeping wages low while throwing millions at the top executives.
literally no one is mad at the “working class” who are well off.
the people who make 100k+ thats an actual livable wage
you try to apply for a place and they are like " well rent shouldn’t be more than like 25% of your income and your like “ROFL WUT”…
rent is like 50-75+% of income… because housing costs that freaking much.
I think the frw and strgth was added for melee characters.
Well the strength just becomes a vitality stat bank
FRW when it already has teleport is unimpressive to me.
I just have always felt like it was a piece of armor that didn’t know what it wanted to be so it covered everything.
In covering everything it makes other armors much less desirable
In the end IDC if they ever change it, but at least make more armor runewords to compete with it.
Unfortunately teleport is the main reason it’s so desired.
Maybe a teleport shield runeword and a teleport helm runeword would open up armor choices
It’s not “just” what it becomes. Many weapons require more than 100 dex and 100 strgth, some require almost 300 stat points. Myself personally I love 2handers, especially mauls. TMs require 253 strngth, Enigma helps to equip that weapon. With the changes to Throw Master wielding both a winged harpoon and a barlog spear becomes a viable option. Using them requires 272 stat points, Enigma help absorb some of that.
Casters teleport in front of monster packs and fire, melee teleports in front of monster packs and runs in and runs out when needed. If a melee character is getting hammered, it can’t always tele out because of block or hit recovery, so it has to run a bit then tele. This is how it help melee characters.
I really do think they knew what they were doing when they created it. It’s for 99ing, it’s for mfing, it’s for pvp. It covers it all.
Actually Enigma is end game armor even for Sorcs.
People who don’t like Enigma and want it nerfed or removed are people who don’t know how to obtain one either through farming or trade. So they feel they need to hurt those who do know how to obtain the item.
I just want more variety with viable builds. Teleport is already OP on its own. Enigma gives both teleport AND all the +str/skills/frw/%life?
I think for items to be balanced, the rarity of an item should be proportional to how good it is. Enigma is way too easy to get for how strong it is. It’s probably the most common BiS armor for builds.
Compare that to Tyrael’s Might; super rare, not particularly useful.
And yes I’ve gotten several enigmas not that it should matter.
Are you saying nerf Enigma or give more options?
People who cry about how the game shouldn’t be balanced are people who want the game to be easymode and want an extremely overpowered item which makes all other armors pointless, that way they don’t have to think or make decisions, only to equip the disgustingly OP item which is better than everything else
Game is filled with many clowns, it isn’t that surprising there’s so much pointless hate directed at teleport and enigma. I had an Enigma on 20+ chars concurrently when I played during my teen years. However since d2r I have geared ZERO of my characters with Enigma even though I have found Jah & Ber this season and other strong drops that I could use to trade for either rune not to mention I have enough FG to cover it that way too. But I actually prefer not gearing for BIS items, the challenge with finding stuff on your own and using random blues/yellows along the way makes the game far more enjoyable. Chasing after the best items will make most people depressed and hate this game.
And there it, it’s my fault you can’t use other armor, because I use Enigma. It’s the same mentality as “It’s rich guys fault I’m poor, cause he has a lot of money.”
I agree Guitars, and on the opposite side there are the elite clowns that say you can’t play the game unless you use what they deem BiS.
I don’t farm for items, I farm for experience, which everything drops eventually. The first thing I make when a Ber drops is CoH. I don’t make Enigma until 85 areas don’t provide experience anymore and it’s time to farm the endgame bosses.

My Javazon loves the FRW.
I prefer my tals armor for resistances/set bonus with MF to be honest for the price.
I’ll use enigma on my other heroes
I think this a reading comprehension issue on your part. You think the game shouldn’t be balanced because of some nonsense about poor and rich people 
The problem isn’t on my part, but you and people who think and play like you. The game is balanced, you just don’t know it, therefore, think that it needs fixing. We literally played D2 for 10 years without a balance patch, and all character classes and builds we played on single player and ladder without problems. Some builds, skills and items are better than others, get over it and play the way you enjoy playing or find a new game that better suits your needs.
The fact that you can’t extrapolate the principle presented in an example as it correlates with your desire to change the game speaks volumes. You’re literally crying about an endgame armor, you’re literally crying that the majority of the player base uses it. You’re literally crying more diversity - make players other than me be more diverse in what they use! If you don’t like Enigma, use something else, but stop trying to take away what the vast majority love, Tyrant!
… idiots.
And it is not just Enigma, there are so many overpowered skills and gear, but this is what makes D2 - if you want better balance, go play WoW which gets rebalanced every other week.
It is taxing the rich to pay the poor so they keep quiet and do not revolt (eg crime). That
is how almost every western society works.
LOL
So because Diablo II was abandoned it was perfectly balanced? Nice try, why did Diablo II Res make balance changes if it was perfectly balanced? Can’t wait to see the mental gymnastics that are on the way
Here this guy admits there are balance issues, but says the game wouldn’t be Diablo II without poor balance. LOL
This is resurrected, and they are making balance changes, deal with it. If your brain can’t cope with change install the original LOD
