Just look the other way, don't make eye contact and whatever you do, don't show him your teeth. Actually Jayme has a valid point. Diablo might appear to be a more casual game than something like Starcraft, but that doesn't mean they don't have a big hardcore gamer base. I went through a D2 phase where I would play the game hours on end too. Many of my friends were able to pay their way through college by setting up stores to sell items. They asked me if I wanted to join in, but I was never in it for the profit. There are plenty of TL posters who played Diablo a lot more than Starcraft including some of the mods. Beyonder being one of them. That doesn't mean we don't love Starcraft too. | ||

If you look at places like JSP Enigma is not worth a lot compared to a lot of other things. Ever try to find a perfect upped eth shaftstop? A perfect bramble? Perfect low str req high def dragon armor? All of which worth A LOT more then Enigma... its just enigma was the flavour of the month for hammerdins. Even in PvP you didn't NEED Enigma if you could find proper gear, or you were a sorc, barb, sin, and about 50% of the builds with the other classes. Enigma was the poor mans good armor  , the same way people ran around with BotD weapons when really they weren't that good people just liked running around with high hr requirement rune words even if there were much better things out there .The big thing was that it was the flavour of the month so everyone wanted it driving up its price, really I would much rather have A LOT of other armors for my builds. | ||

I know they are flavor of the month but what do you feel is better? | ||

I know they are flavor of the month but what do you feel is better? Depends... For PvE I would run last wish and beast... but thats just me. For armor well enigma is fine for the tele... although as a frenzy barb you could easily just run every where if you plan on using the frenzy run speed then just run a fortitude TL;DR: 1x last wish zerker 1 x beast zerker, 1 x sup wirefleece fortitude IMHO. | ||

Note that I did not play D2, so it might be horrible compared to that  I missed its heyday and, color me shallow, but I couldn't really stand playing with the graphics when I tried it a year ago. That being said, I'm having a lot of fun with Torchlight. | ||

Nothing is worth what they used to be since they upped the Rune drop rate to the point where finding a high level rune like Cham isn't unlikely if you play through Hell. Back when finding a Zod rune was cause for immense celebration because it was a 1 in like 40 million chance or some insane crap like that runewords were the post powerful thing in the game. The thing that made Enigma so damn good was the teleport it gave everyone. | ||

I think 1x raven and 1x 10fcr ring (for breakpoint), arreats face (or coa against barbs/wind druids), dracs gloves, weapon swap had some bow with guided arrow to help kill h-dins.. belt mustve been dungos or arachnids anyway BvC's are also called frenzy barbs? | ||
