Game seriously needs to let you equip items if their stats are required
|
I'm getting very frustrated with this lately. For example, as a Druid, I just accidentally unequipped my talisman and my sceptre was automatically moved to its spot. I now cannot re-equip the talisman and sceptre as the sceptre gives me a lot of int that I need.
The game is capable under certain situations of just disabling items, such as when I am not in druid form my sceptre is disabled, so why not let me equip it, apply the stats and then just disable it if I still don't meet them? Or just check the stats when trying to equip and item and apply them if needed? I am over having to go and find a ring or whatever that gives me the required stats just so I can re-equip my items.

+1, that is one of the most frustrating things ever. I usually keep an Astramentis in my stash just for that.
To me, the fix is VERY trivial; all they have to do is consider the item's added stats before determining whether you can equip it. It is not really rocket science. Last edited by Coldfir3#9471 on Jan 16, 2026, 2:02:47 PM

" Exactly, thank you! Glad I am not the only one :) I'll add that playing on controller this can be very easy to do as the button for apply and unequip are the same. Last edited by Ferdelizer#3373 on Jan 16, 2026, 2:10:48 PM

Honestly, I don't get the stat requirements to begin with. As it is most stats barely even do anything meaningful and are mostly just there for this reason alone, in being arbitrary equip/use gates.
