Defense Rating is dodging, and with such a low rating I don't think the guy in plate armor is suddenly going to start dodging attacks because of 1 dex. In fact I know that won't happen because I finally gave in and put on a +1 dex plate armor because it had been so long since getting an upgrade that I was now going to gain 10-20% in the 4 elemental resistances by putting this on.


So you will only have one stat with dex? See what we are doing here, now you are trying to argue what is worthy in a build and what is not. What you think and what another thinks is reasonable or worth it really depends on the build. What about the player who is actually putting "some" points in dex and then using some gear to fill in, but has another stat focus? Again, we are back to "you are playing wrong!" and that is driving your argument for the loot change.

This fits right back into my point. You want the gear tailored to what "you" consider valuable. So, this whole "useless" is really a subjective argument. /shrug


Or it's because you're an idiot that doesn't understand how shit works. 5 defense rating is worthless to a strength guy, and 20 carrying capacity is worthless to a dex guy. Those are facts.


Seems like when logic fails, best to sling the insults? What about a hybrid build? Oh wait, that is right, you in your infinite wisdom have already deemed any hybrid build to be worthless as well. we are all just idiots and not playing the game right. Yep... you sure are brilliant. I would apply for a job working for Blizzard, I think you would fit right in!
