Neither of my videos above utilize the hair or potion
Present company excepted, of course. I noticed the hag's hair thingy and iirc also the respec when utilizing certain gear even in build videos from otherwise highly appreciated youtuber wolfheartfps. And I was like: ok, apparently
everyone is doing it now. Still, it's just WRONG. Hehe.
I mean if course if you wana min- max you want those items but the potion of vigor for me is pointless as in act 3 you can buy Cloud giant elixir to set your STR to 27 and the vendor replenishes it after every long rest so it’s like a perma buff as it’s all day long. You get long rest, drink could giant elixir , go to lower city and buy a new bottle for the next day.
Same with hill giant , in act 1 Ethel sells 3 and replenishes them all every day so you may easily buy 10-15 before you need to fight her and those will last you until act 3
Also as far as min maxing , I am not even min maxing my builds - if you look at my videos I try to use no more than 2-3 legendary items as having every top gear peace to solo a fight is cheesy for me.
On my paladin/ warlock video I just rushed Serovok and Ethel and that’s all, haven’t cleared Raphael, Ansur, Gortash, Orin or Cazador .
The only difference between min/ maxing and not would be that with total min/ max I can solo the encounters in like 2-3 turns while without min / max it can take 5-10 depending on the fight .
