Hi Raklets. :) Glad the guide helped out. :)

On crafting, there is an essential resource on google docs, here.

You can click the 'weapons' tab, and then scroll over to the 1H swords and axes. Note that items can have only three prefixes and three suffixes.

We can see that your item has three suffixes already (attack speed, base stun duration, fire dmg resist). The prefixes are trickier, that's where experience comes in.... you have two prefixes, local physical damage % and Local Physical Dmg +% / Local Accuracy Rating. How do I know? Because the item level is not high enough to roll top tier local physical damage %, which would be required for your 160% on its own, and that's very rare anyway. Plus, there's the little accuracy (although accuracy can be a separate suffix, but not in this case, since you already have three.)

So, you have room for one prefix, you would get something you don't want 99 times out of 100 probably. Life leech, gem levels, mana leech (could be worse), weapon elemental, or added cold, fire or lightning at a low roll (most likely). High roll physical would be what you want, but low odds as you can see.

If you are open to trading, that's the best way, save up your small currency, identify and vendor most rare items for alts, convert everything up to fusings to trade for chaos or exalts. Save rare rings and amulets for the chaos recipe.

Oh my ! Thanks a lot for this. I didn't know we could roll both "Local physical damage %" as well as "Local Physical Dmg +% / Local Accuracy Rating". I thought I was lucky to get a 160% but it's actually 2 prefixes combined. Well good thing to know. Gonna save currency then.

With the patch we will get a free respec.
Also the majority of players predict a block nerf (either dim.return or lower cap ~60) and maybe even cwdt nerf (puting %life instead of flat value life). I have faith in you Sovyn to remake our specs to make a new lazy pally:)

PS I think it would be a shame if block as a whole gets nerfed just because of Aegis being overpowered. Very heavy handed, if so.

Just stopping by again, I have been pushing to get the ranger I made off your tree to a decent higher level to do things, but gearing is rough. I will say that if block/cwdt gets nerfed, you could potentially rely on Blood Dancers + Frenzy charges to get 6% life regen, which could make up for having less block.
