I have yet to find a Wizard hat that isn't focused on strength. I feel your pain.

[–]tekhnomancer[S] 14 points15 points ago

Best I could find. :\

[–]pandora9715 2 points3 points ago

That's.... A lot better than mine. Fuck.

[–]tekhnomancer[S] 1 point2 points ago

I think I was given this by a friend. I have lucky friends. HIS helm is absolutely bananas.

[–]I_RARELY_RAPE_PEOPLE 11 points12 points ago

Who the fuck would wear bananas on their head at a time like this?

[–]CasualPenguin 2 points3 points ago

That's sick, sad it has no socket :(

[–]tekhnomancer[S] 2 points3 points ago

Gah!! I know. My luck with sockets is doo doo.

[–]CasualPenguin 1 point2 points ago

It's sad they don't have the quest where you can add a socket like in D2

[–]tekhnomancer[S] 0 points1 point ago

I am kinda glad they don't in some ways...but there is less use for it without rune words. Still, I agree. Would be nice.

[–]Napalm_in_the_mornin 2 points3 points ago

I found the Legendary wizard hat.... 39 intelligence. -_-

[–]Slainground 9 points10 points ago

I found this head 2 days ago : http://imgur.com/fbV60 It has STR on it, but i think its a fairly good headpiece. Tho im not a wizard

[–]jestofloki 12 points13 points ago

Absolutely. You could probably make a decent amount on that, as anything with +crit or socket is worth its weight in gold; further, 200+ int is really good.

~A 60 with shitty gear and neither time or inclination to farm all day

[–]hapns 5 points6 points ago

How much you want for it? This is exactly what I'm looking for pretty much.

[–]Eymou 21 points22 points ago

exactly pretty much.

[–]hapns 6 points7 points ago

Precisely.

[–]ZuFFuLuZ 3 points4 points ago

Indubitably.

[–]CCCPironCurtain 2 points3 points ago

-ish

[–]SuddenlyLegible 2 points3 points ago

I concur.

[–]I_RARELY_RAPE_PEOPLE 3 points4 points ago

Kinda

[–]Slainground 2 points3 points ago

I'm afraid it's up on the RMAH already, since im not a wizard, i didn't need it so i put it up.

[–]hapns 1 point2 points ago

Well, if it doesn't sell and you're willing to accept gold, let me know.

[–]Slainground 2 points3 points ago

It sold sorry mate.

[–]someb0dy 2 points3 points ago

What did it sell for?

[–]vebent 1 point2 points ago

Just out of curiosity, how much did you put it up for? Because I've ran into a few of these and put it up for $5 and they never sell.

[–]Poelsemis 1 point2 points ago

Then it must've been without a socket, low crit chance or low intelligence. It cannot have not been sold for $5 if it has similar stats.

[–]vebent 1 point2 points ago

I should take a screenshot next time of my next big find. Because I keep forgetting every other stat except for the most noticeable one. The most I ever sold something for was $2.

[–]kooshball 1 point2 points ago

US? i dont see it. how much did you sell that for?

[–]MustBeNice 1 point2 points ago

You check gold and RMAH?

Edit: nah you're right couldn't find it either. Must be Euro.

[–]Slainground 1 point2 points ago

Yes in EU, sold for 40 euro , i had it up before on about 65 euro, but it didnt sell then, so i lowered it.

[–]NephalhemValor 1 point2 points ago

If only the strength was health globes grant 10k+ hp and the fire resistance was all resistance

[–]Fearchen 8 points9 points ago

I've actually equipped a hat (actually, it was a tiara) which gave me -20 atk just to finally equip a different looking item. My mage is lv34 and the hat was for lv21. Crafted 20 hats. Fuck that.

[–]Benbulthuis 15 points16 points ago

spending money crafting low level items is a tremendous waste of gold / time since you can find upgrades for <10k on the AH. If you just like to craft, have at it. But you'd be better off just buying gear :)

[–]FriarNurgle 12 points13 points ago

But the achievements. Think about the achievements.

[–]Benbulthuis 1 point2 points ago

Haha, I didn't say never craft. I have a ton of crafting achievements and I have max level jeweler and blacksmith on my wizard :) I would just craft once you get to level 60 and the items you get may be useful or valuable!

[–]whyyousourdough 4 points5 points ago

Crafting skill is shared to all toons in softcore

[–]Benbulthuis 3 points4 points ago

I only have one character... maybe that's unusual? I'm not good at multitasking characters and I really like the Wizard.

[–]dinnie 1 point2 points ago

same. I might consider trying out the Demon Hunter, though.

[–]I_RARELY_RAPE_PEOPLE 0 points1 point ago

Nothing at all wrong with that. Play your preference and what's fun.

[–]cdelongo 8 points9 points ago

I would just use the AH. You can set it for rare and 5k and find great deals.

[–]Fearchen 1 point2 points ago

I'm one of those persons who despise the AH which shouldn't be a problem since they balanced it around playing without it as stated by Blues.

[–]cdelongo 6 points7 points ago

Well that stinks. I know I was tired of playing RNG and losing when I was leveling. Good luck to you!

[–]Fearchen 2 points3 points ago

Thanks, have a nice day and fun!

[–]horselover_fat 1 point2 points ago

It is? When levelling my monk, I was struggling with elites at level 35-40. I looked at my gear and realised I had only level 20-25 gear, because I had nothing good drop for the past 15 levels. Went on the GAH and got decent gear and then it became too easy...

[–]twinkletits 1 point2 points ago

Yeah I was getting my ass handed to me in NM, then spend like 30k in the AH and over doubled the amount of damage was doing. Made the game much less frustrating =P

[–]ZuFFuLuZ 1 point2 points ago

Usually a new weapon for 5k gold every few levels will get you all the way to inferno easily.

[–]tekhnomancer[S] 1 point2 points ago

I just got my Wizard to 60. I can not even count how many items I bought out in the AH then resold three levels later for double the price. People sell things DIRT cheap. I can buy a weapon for 10k then sell it for 50k. Not because I'm trying to price gouge, but sometimes the weapons are really THAT good...

[–]Napalm_in_the_mornin 0 points1 point ago

This. Right before a boss... Visit AH, best weapon for 20k buyout. Own boss

[–]deidru 2 points3 points ago

I've had this happen with quite a few intellect heavy crossbows for demon hunter. I get so excited to find a new one, then..... intellect.

[–]faulks 2 points3 points ago

Please send all +int crossbows to my wizard, kthx.

[–]AdnyCLB 1 point2 points ago

I play my Monk a lot with a DH friend and it's become a running gag with us. Seems like when we farm together all I get is yellow bows... with a big bonus to dex - nah, just kidding, always a big bonus to int.

[–]ADMcD76 5 points6 points ago

I feel the same thing about barbarian gear that comes up with +150 INT.

[–]Ice_And_Fire 2 points3 points ago

Over the weekend I've looted a lot of wizard-only items.

Yet not a single Intel stat to be seen among all of them together.

[–]crazymunch 2 points3 points ago

Not only that, but every wand I find is coated in STR... I found a wand the other day with just under 300 STR on it =X

[–]Orimos 2 points3 points ago

Strength gives some armor, so it's not completely useless...

[–]payne6 2 points3 points ago

All the items my barb picks up is always intellect.

[–]PalinFreeborn 3 points4 points ago

A majority of my identifications have fallen under this umbrella. Either the item is useful and will switch out my current gear, or it's so far against what I'm looking for that it's insta-vendor.

I think their loot algorithm is a little off...

[–]BastB 1 point2 points ago

Never thought capitalizing two letters could make me laught so hard, it's kinda true though

[–]tekhnomancer[S] 1 point2 points ago

It's painfully true. :(

[–]infodump 1 point2 points ago

Is this person in the comic supposed to be leaning on hands? I always thought it was a guy with a giant mustache and hands on the keyboard and am starting to realize I think I'm wrong.

[–]brennanww 2 points3 points ago

you were wrong

[–]pastenseofdraw 1 point2 points ago

Witch doctors and Wizard gain 2x weapon damage from str, I'm convinced.

[–]NorsiXa 1 point2 points ago

Haha this is so true +1

[–]cancerface 1 point2 points ago

Almost none of my characters are wearing any dropped class-specific items, as they are always just terrible. My WD has a mojo from the AH, my Wiz has a source from the AH, my monk and barbarian have generic gear with actually decent stats, never any Mighty stuff or fist weaps/monk headgear.

Was just doing some MF experimentation in Act II Hell on a lvl36 monk I have - couple hours playing with %150+ MF (just random gear I had with the best MF, don't have a 'set' yet)... got piles of INT bows, a few STR monk headpieces, piles of DEX based Mighty weaps/gear... and everything else is too generically stat-weighted. Like, it has ALL the stats in middling amounts.

Yeah, this belt with almost exactly the same amount of STR/DEX/INT and barely double-digit VIT is really ever going to be an upgrade, for any class?

[–]Dirt_Nasty 1 point2 points ago

You could sell that Andariel's Visage to me.

[–]Kilmar 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of when I sold a 140 dex Andariel's for 4 mil. It sold within 2 minutes. I still regret it.

[–]teh_deq 0 points1 point ago

At least the name is true for the one wearing it. http://i.imgur.com/1t5BE.png

[–]Herpmahderp -1 points0 points ago

This was hilarious.
