Unpopular Opinion: PreBuff items shouldnt be a thing

General Discussion
1

If items with Summon charges or Oskill like eternity and Harmony see the summon unsummoned with deEquipped

Why should buff items have a special treatment

Imho

Item should be equipped for the perk to remain

And that perk should now be allowed to be considerable

Ie: Hustle burst of speed high level would be an issue if you cannot just use it as a pre buff, the item itself is his worth of use

Want the Bo for Cta? Cta has to be equipped

This now creates a very challenging item choice rather than the current boring prebuff meta

Should tell this to the devs

What an absolute garbage design that are pre buff items

Where the value of an item only lies in 1 affix… great mechanic lol

To hell with prebuff mechanic, should disappear when you unequip the item

4

your title is misleading… you posts seem to indicate why they “shouldn’t” be a thing

5

Then my title isn’t misleading

Pre-Buff items shouldn’t be a thing because pre-buffing mechanic shouldn’t be a thing

They then would just be buff items

Remove the item, remove the buff

6

Except they’ve always been a thing even in classic where barbs swap to +2 barb skill weapons to prebuff with battle orders only to put them back in the inventory because you don’t have a second weapon set in classic.

7

You are talking about a completely different thing

Where the class using it already has the skill

If your item is the only source of that buff on your character and that item is removed, bye goes the buff

No you’re talking about prebuff items and those +skill items are prebuff items.

Is your problem with prebuffing, or the use of off class skills?

… yeah and your original title was “should”

way to change it and THEN pretend it wasn’t wrong eyeroll

11

Classic seks move. He shouldn’t post when he had a few…

12

even someone as casual as me thinks you´re full of it.

13

just there you just prove me you are not a classic player
for pve and pvp , wasting time swapping gear in a era where buff have no synergy duration ,and have 1 or 2 minute duration , yea right , on the top good rare weapon already have 1 or 2 skill on it , and also in pvp you die in 1 hit vs a lance barbarian , lol

14

Except classic, as it exists right now, has synergies.

15

not what you say here

i will say is not here a examples

16

I’m not sure what you think when someone says “classic,” but as classic exists people do prebuff.

So instead of misinterpreting what I said just to be argumentative, maybe you should ask for clarification instead.

17

i understand what the word ALWAYD mean do you ?

18

Ah, see. I was correct. Just gonna ignore you.

19

Disagree. Pre-Buffs should be, and are a thing. You just always want to be opposite George.

If anything, there should be more, every class should share the wealth. They should be tough to obtain, and have to sac other powerful items or stash space to utilize.
