I understand not every class will be in this boat (at least not as easily) but as an INT class with a GA armor affix, I am pretty close to not benefiting from anything I can slot in accessories.
While I wouldn’t quite suggest something along the lines of D3’s legendary gems (although that could be fun, and could give us another reason to use pits, because, let’s face it, they’re really just grifts anyway,) since accessory gem effects are defensive in nature, why not add some that buff or interact with damage reduction, barrier, and fortify?
