While some class sets are easy to get, others are quite hard (e.g. They also heavily undertuned the class sets. Another approach would have been to add +2 skills and 35% fcr to stormshield, so basically the rarest shield is still the strongest.

spirit monarch is a great budget option and maybe they should have removed the +2 skills. In my opinion they should have changed them in a way they changed them from 1.08 to 1.09Į.g. Unfotunately the old uniques just didn’t get adjusted. New caster builds that now use Hoto (hammerdin, windy, etc.) didn’t even exist before at all.Īt the same time they implemented some new powerful items that compete with runewords and are as strong Hoto/Spirit replaced oculus in some cases. With runewords, well 98% of uniques are garbage in comparison.Īrkaine/viper got replaced by CoH/Fortitude/Enigma In 1.09 without runewords, you also moved on to hell, but just with whatever magic/rare trash you found.Įven before runes, 90% of uniques were complete garbage.

It doesnt matter what drops because your runewords are superior, even to many uniques. Its actually ridiculous and makes loot during Normal and Nightmare rather pointless.
