Even the crappy legs in d3 were better than any rare or magic item.
I getcha, I just dont like using low tier items in endgame, it just feels bad.
It bugged me in d2 when I needed to use a white item to bust out a powerful runeword.
That said, I get where youre coming from. And I suspect you understand my position as well.
I suppose we’ll just have to live with someone disagreeing with us on the internet 
Its been a good conversation though.
