How to Look Through Your Items Way Faster in Diablo 4

[@Thaeron]

The Rhykker with Horns joke made me just wanna mention how I've been loving the Diablo 4 creator community. It feels like it's bunch of friends always throwing jabs at each other, commenting each other stuff, you watch something from one guy, and the other one builds up on that or starts a duscussion about it. Keep up the good vibes and great content everyone, and thank you for making watching you such a fun experience.

[@FireMaster7001]

It really does look like Rhyker 😂

[@thebowedacious]

Omg its so spot on! Hilarious

[@flagermusen]

A couple of notes I find important to add: - Helmet rolls you should look for +max life as your go to deciding stat. It's a huge and important roll to have on your helmet, and It is difficult to reroll on the Occultist for some reason. If you get one with max life then you can reroll CDR or total armor on it easier and have a solid piece. - If you salvage those items you upgraded to 5/5, you get your materials refunded. Forgotten souls included. - A good rule of thumb when coming back to town to sell (assuming youre into WT4) is to instantly sell all sacred items in your inventory without looking at them EXCEPT jewelry (rings+necklace). If a sacred item rolls over 700 itempower, it can be upgraded to 725 and reach the last stat-range breakpoint and be potential best in slot. Other items besides jewelry can as well, but it's really not worth the time to check them. Jewelry can be very difficult to get good rolls so it's worth doing. So sacred jewerly you only check itempower is over 700. If below, instant sell, no need to check stats. - Some itemtypes are instant sell no matter what. On Rogue for example, Bows are dogshiet due to the implicit stat being damage to distant enemies which is a terrible stat, while crossbows roll vulnerable damage which is the best stat. So you always want a crossbow. This means every bow can be instant sold without any thought (edit: since patch 1.1 this is no longer the case) EDIT: Since this comment was made there has been a patch that severely nerfed the vulnerable damage roll on crossbows reducing it by -65%, making bows somewhat more competitive in that slot. You probably still ideally want a crossbow, however this also means bow are no longer auto-salvage.

[@EchoBR7]

You did not write a comment but a useful post. Thanks!

[@spacecaded]

Same goes for Polearm for Barbarian, insta sell

[@JoshuaWilsonpossible]

I was really surprised to hear him not picking up sacred between 700-724. I love the junk command on the fly for the stuff I grabbed that's under

[@svaln23]

Very helpful comment, but I would disagree on the bow part. Not all rogues are Twisting blades builds, just 95% of them 🙂 For some of the ranged setups (especially Rapid fire ones) much higher attack speed of bows was beating vuln from crossbows even before the vuln nerf.

[@Al-ew6kd]

Really good tips. Let me add some... If you are in t4 farming keep 1 or 2 tabs on your stash empty, as soon as your inv gets full you dump everything into your stash and go back to farm. This is especially useful if you are aiming for 6 chests in helltides. When your stash is full then you go to the TREE OF WHISPERS waypoint, there you have your stash really close to a vendor and a scraper. There you can check all your items and keep farming really fast.

[@PimpMasterT]

To anyone that doesnt know, the setting to make the affix range visible is under "Gameplay" in options. For me it was off by default.

[@spacecaded]

It's off by default for everyone

[@songrunner3027]

Pro Tip: You don't need a vendor to use Raxx's tricks. Just open up your inventory from anywhere, hit the sort button like he recommends, and as you go through just hit Space to mark things as Junk. Then at the vendor, once you sell one Junk item, all of your marked Junk items are sold at the same time.

[@JohnnyBGoode9]

I seriously did not know this. I thought the vendor was missing a "sell all" button like you get for salvaging. A bit annoying to have to mark them all as junk but that still probably beats what I've been doing so far.

[@Proace1469]

Caution: if you mark Sigils, they'll auto-sell with your Junk items. So I visit the Occulist to salvage those first, then go to a vendor and quickly sale the other items.

[@dancemattdanceify]

@@JohnnyBGoode9 other than group play, i don't see any reason not to just go through your inventory at the vendor. you still have to look at each item and click it. there is no advantage in solo play. when you play with other people, you may have downtime when you're out and about.

[@justice4g]

@@dancemattdanceify if your inventory is full mid dungeon it's worth marking as junk before you leave or it can reset while going through it at the store

[@calvinwilson3617]

I tend to do this now, just mark the whole inventory as junk after checking at the end of a dungeon

[@AresGod0fWar]

18:26 this is the most important tip about saving time for those who know which stats they’re looking for already. Sorted by piece, and then by item power. I only found this out recently lol. A lot of times I’d save an item or two at the top left that I wanted to extract or in the middle of an upgrade and testing something out. So, I avoided the sort button to prevent accidentally getting rid of those items. The sort feature has become my best friend.

[@iamdopeasfcuk]

same i used to avoid the sort button for a similar reason lol

[@coffeeteapvp5512]

This probably should have been at the start part where he goes into how to sift through your loot. Along with a tip saying, “don’t store anything in your active inventory, keep anything you’re holding onto for later on your bank”

[@pilotken8685]

Thanks for this. Would be nice if Bliz added the enchant option list to see what choices you have before rolling, similar to D3

[@tiborkote]

Exactly! Lot of good feature missing from D4, which are in D3 for a long time. Why Blizzard not learnt from a long time investment development, its a miracle for me.

[@megalomani4k]

I definitely needed this brief guide. I just got my first character to level 52 and have been overwhelmed trying to figure out what to use, stash or trash

[@megalomani4k]

Does item level matter much on armor or are the stats more important? Like do higher item powers roll higher numbers? Item level 600 may have 5% CHC at the top end but level 700 could have 6%?

[@tokyoocean]

@@megalomani4k so there are caps bro, the highest right now you are shooting for is item level 725, or higher, that is the max "cap" so to speak before season one, so at level 52, ur gonna wait the level right before that... here are the tiers for you for item level/power: Item Power 1-149 Item Power 150-339 Item Power 340-459 Item Power 460-624 Item Power 625-724 Item Power 725 and above so right now for you, you would be looking at the 4th and 5th bucket depending on your progress, hope this helps! PS: dont worry about level 800+ gear until your settled into your build and like level 80+ at least... until then use those buckets, as youll see a huge jump between those last three!!

Love the video dude. Thank you for everything you do for the community. These are a high priority imho. - Stash Improvements (more space and stash keyword search like we had in D3) - Loot Filter (similar to Last Epoch) - Loot improvements: on WT4, I get about 3 sacreds to 1 ancestral and some of the ancestrals are BLUES... this sucks... (WT1 yellows & blues, WT2 yellows only, WT3 Sacreds only, WT4 Ancestrals only) - Gear lock so we don't accidentally salvage something - More build diversity - Gems tab - Fix clunky mount speed and pathing - Improve end game - Implement group finder / activity finder like we had in Diablo 3 - Auction House so we can easily sell & buy rares for gold (using 3rd party websites or discord servers to sell / buy gear is absurd)

But the atk speed and lucky chance could be higher, they are in the middle. I found new gloves and thought they were upgrade. But they were 711 ilvl. Everything was maxed out, except for crit which was only 0.5% shy from max roll, I think it was like 6.5%. I spend 10m rolling for ice shards rank, because I thought to myself that when it upgrades past 725, the crit will be 11%. That was my math. But the lucky chance and atk speed would be perfect rolls. So I upgraded the item and everything went according to my plan, but the CRIT chance turns out, almost lowest roll. Damn

[@johnmichaelarnaud]

Those "sort" and "left to right" tips are going to save me a lot of time. You are a living QoL improvement, Raxx.

[@azure5584]

3:59 Resource Cost Reduction? Hell yes, however Resource Generation? Hell no, it's too weak by comparison. Always go for Cost Reducion over Generation. And why? Because if your skill costs, for example, 30 mana, then getting a 10% cost reducion reduces its cost by 3 mana, but your default resource generation is 10/s, so getting a 10% resource generation boost, that just turns it into 11/s. Resource cost reduction removes more from the cost than resource cost generation adds to its own base value. Another thing - there are resource boosters in paragon board (for example +4 mana) but there are none (almost positive) resource cost generation nodes, which is ultimately why Cost Reducion triumphs.

[@kylecroatoan6341]

"I'm a professional idiot." has been my life quote for about 15 years now lol

[@Kapoetski3]

I think there is an even better method to do this in the end game. There is an option that will show you a list of affixes you will lose when you hover over an item in your inventory. This list doesnt mention changes to the value of an affix, only if there is one on your equiped item that is not on the item in your inventory. In the end game your gear will most likely be 3/4 or 4/4 on your desired affixes, so for an item to be good the list of affixes you will lose should be empty or only have 1-2 things in there max. If that list is longer you already know it is going to be trash for your current build.

[@yanjiang7514]

I hope they could let you note for yourself what stat you looking for, or a check list to check from. e.g. on a ring, if it has crit, that line becomes green

[@bryanbryan6108]

Or take it a step further. Loot filter. Like every other arpg has. If it doesn’t have at least 2-3 stat lines I’m looking for, I literally don’t even see it drop. Kinda crazy that this isn’t an option. I guess blizzard wants us to spend hours upon hours sifting through yellow items. *shrug*

And the ones that did drop from level 1-50 or so steadily increased in item power, so I always wanted them anyway. But after level 50 I really want to be more selective with what I pick up just so I can do less inventory management, and the option just isn't there. Best I can do is only click ancestrals and even that doesn't feel good enough after a while.

[@alexonstott4954]

Generally ignoring sacreds is right, but I would definitely recommend continuing to check sacred jewelry until you find good ancestrals. Good ancestral jewelry will be one of the very last things you find in the game, probably, so you will be using sacreds well into the endgame in those spots. Plus, you can put an ancestral aspect on a sacred to reroll and upgrade its affixes.

[@wmpx34]

Rather than ignore sacreds (which can actually be endgame items), why not just ignore anything below 700 ilvl?

I was happy I am doing it the same way you do, maybe thought there would be some special trick but i guess we just have to look at everything.

Thanks for updating us to even those "normal" things, I love you.

[@famt123]

what i do is: enable comparison (shift). as i already have the stats i want but with lower % when i hover an item i check for at least 2 or 3 red numbers. that implies the item have the stats i want so i just check their % and if it is good enough i save it for later

Thanks for breaking that down. I always find myself trying to hit every stat perfectly, but this made it way easier to prioritize gear stats without sitting in town forever.

[@olivergottkehaskamp3369]

So nice of Rhykker to drop by and help out with this video! 👍🏻

[@chicknwing2742]

I look at the border of the item and vendor all the sacreds first (except jewelry which I check item power for 700-724 and legendary items for their affixes). This way I don't accidentally waste time analyzing rolls of sacred armor/weapons. Barbarians however should note that the DPS of weapons they equip but don't use for their core skills are still important for their rolls. These are known as "stat sticks" and you should keep an eye out for weapons with perfect crit and vuln, even if they are only item power 725. After crit and vuln you should look for main stat, all stat (if needed to achieve glyph bonuses), close damage, and core damage.

[@supermandra8275]

Great breakdown. This is exactly what i have been doing. Having a basic idea on what you are looking for in gear really helps with your bleeding eyes from lack of blinking. Thanks!

[@stevenward4830]

Raxx,you can upgrade items to the next tier. You can use a ancestral aspect to make a regular rare into ancestral. Save ancestral aspects and make sacred into ancestral

[@Arkalius80]

This doesn't change the item power though. The important thing isn't really whether or not its ancestral, but whether it's item power is at least 700. The highest item power breakpoint is 725 so at 700 you can upgrade into the highest tier. Some sacred items can roll with 700+ item power but it's pretty uncommon.

[@okkiiiii]

@@Arkalius80 This is true. But when you hit a new breakpoint, all stats will be rerolled. So if you upgrade a sacred item to an ancestral one, and then hit the breakpoint, it will reroll as if it were ancestral.

[@Arkalius80]

@CTHorde Well either you're lucky or I'm unlucky because I don't.

[@TheTWH9]

like the other guy said, this means nothing because even though it turns "ancestral" the stats will still be sacred tier. Also worth noting that putting high level aspects on low gear changes the level requirement so it makes an item potentially useful for an alt for leveling unusable until they reach the aspect lvl requirement. Another thing, many aspects scale with item power now as of recent update, such as thorns while berserking, and speaking of item power scaling LIFE scales with item power. So if it's a piece you're looking for life on (for my build helm/rings at least) it's best not to bother with sacred 700s and instead just check naturally ancestral items.

[@DiogoVKersting]

Technique: store ancestral items from many runs in a tab in storage. Later on, you'll be sorting many items of the same type at once (which is easier than sorting a couple of items from each type). You should accumulate at least 7 items of the same type before you sift through them. The obvious downside is giving up on one storage tab.

[@memory_null]

I've been doing something similar except I have little to no stash space so I throw everything on the ground in town. As far as I can tell as long as you don't go to another region or log out your gear won't despawn. This may be terrible advice though so do it at your own risk 😂

[@DiogoVKersting]

@@memory_null If you disconnect, or your game crashes, you're gonna lose the loot. Seems pretty risky.

[@destDN]

I've never considered sorting... that is really good. Othervise I think I've already perfected the fast inventory management. Legendarys: Do what you suggest, look at the range. I don't have too much perfect already (aside from the +armor one, where I got 6 perfect rolls already...) so I settle for the upper 80%. Helms: I've already got one with max +mana and max cooldown, but quite low item power with ~730. So I look for cooldown or mana, if it has neither, trash. If it has look closer at the ranges. Chest: Bevor I fouund the tele chest I did what you did. After that auto sell everything not a unique. Weapons/Focus: I got a 815 weapon with 3 good stats, a 807 focus with very good cooldown and quite usefull stats, not perfect though. If I don't get a 800+ in that regard, auto sell. Gloves: I've got a Shard, Crit, Lucky, Speed one for one of my fist ones, but only +3 out of 4 shards, only ~725 Item Power. Never found an upgrade so far and I'm 90 now. Pants: Again, good stats (-damage from burn, +armor, +life, int) but low item power witz ~735. Hard to find an upgrade there. Boots: Recently found an almost perfect upgrade here, missing +1 frost nova, rest (almost) perfect stats. I look for +frost nova and +tele and -ressource cost. If it has neither or only 1, trash. Rings: I've recently found a crit, crit, -ressource one where I was able to roll voulnerable. For the other I sacrificed a crit damage roll for my quality of life stat in life regen. Since + crit chance seems to auto reroll on those if not present I stopped looking further at rings if they don't roll crit chance, unless I see voulnerable already on it at first glance. Amulet: I've got a good roll in -ressource and cooldown here, also with a usefull (not perfect) Skill to boost damage (+3 to the east one of the 4 cold passives), also movement speed is here instead of boots where I didn't find any with movement so far. If I don't see either of ressource or cooldown, trash. If there is I search further for skills. +defensive would be a dream. I actually found one with +passive and both, however both of those rolls were so low, I had to trash it. No I don't do trading, I play solo self found, no point in keeping it.

[@Darkz.-]

if you already have items with some decent stats and youre just looking for upgrades turn on „compare“ and just glace at the numbers next to the stats, if you have a lot of red numbers it means that item has the right stats that you already have equiped, just lower values cause its not upgraded, stats you dont already have equiped will always be green

[@rumblestripz]

Helmet - look for cooldown. Chest And pants - look for defense . Gloves - look for + 3 to main skill. Boots - Look For Move Speed. Amulet - Look For Buffs to your Favorite Passive. Rings - Look For Increases in Crit damage, Crit chance , and vulnerable /lucky hit. Item - Look for Max Power or a higher level item.

Actually never thought about sorting the loot, this is going to make it quite a bit easier as my brain will only need to remember what I need 1 item at a time... until now I've been going back and forth between different item types unsorted!

This is one of the most important and informative videos on D4 out there and really highlights the shortcomings of D4s gearing system. In WOW, we would already have a addon that simply shows on hover if a pice of gear is an upgrade or not.

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video and explain your process. I always wondered how you decided what was good or not so fast. I could literally spend an hour or more just going through gear I save. This will definitely help speed up the process for me. The whole sort and ilevel thing... nice!

[@Fooxs]

I wish Blizzard would do something about this because searching for stats on an item that suit me is a real pain in the ass. Even when searching for just one important stat, like cooldown reduction, I still have to read through all the stats, so it doesn't really make a difference whether I read all the stats or all the stats plus their ranges. We should simply know whether an item is good or not just by looking at it on the ground, and that's how legendaries should be, for example. Yellow items can be used for further enhancement and adding legendary powers, but when a legendary drops, it should already have relatively good stats. Currently, I feel like legendaries are worth less than yellows, excluding their legendary powers.

[@AtakanG]

In case you don't know, you should always salvage those upgraded items since you get most of your materials that you spent upgrading them back. You could have salvaged those 2 rares for instance.

[@drakedbz]

For classes that scale off of weapon damage (most do, but some use a static damage number on an aspect), I treat the vuln roll as 50 dps, crit damage roll as 40 dps, all other useful rolls as like 20 dps. I may be overestimating the value of these stats a bit, I'm not sure, but it helps me to decide faster. Ultimately, the goal is to deal with your items quickly so you can get back out and farm.

You can actually re-roll stats on an item if it passes the power level tier bucket. Which is at the ‘25 mark of each 100 series (525-625-725 etc). So if you upgrade and pass the 25 mark stats will re-roll. They can get better, but can also become worse!

I already did this method, what helps save even more time is: Once in town, go to your inventory, sort everything. Remember, you can see by the color of the icon of every item if its ancestral or not. Mark every item that is not ancestral as junk and sell immediately with 1 button. Sort again and check all items if they are worthy or not. If you don't know: Ancestrals will have a white glow on the top, Sacred have a golden glow on the top.

Couple Adds: 1. Mark things as trash via spacebar to sell/salvage them all at once 2. I would keep more Powers that are close to Max Rolls not only Max Rolls, imagine gettings a 820 perfect stats Weapon and you cant use it because your only perfect roll is on your 750 weapon and you vendored all 19/20% ones, always have at least one ok-ish backup per power imo 3. There is an important item power breakpoint at 725, if you get over it by upgrading the item + add a ancestral power, you get your stats rerolled and a +1 to a skill can end up as a +4 4. Do not not pick up the sacred items :D the moment will come where you got a some really good items but you need tons of gold to reroll that one bad stat on it, just pick em up and vendor them without checking stats 5. If you start having somewhat decent gear, use the RED stats too see if there is even a chance for an item to be an upgrade, on gloves if there is only attack speed red, maybe it can be a perfect item with some rerolling, if attack speed, + skill, crit chance and Lucky Hit are all 4 red, you can be pretty sure there is not much hope for the item ;-)

[@Imevul]

I'm a bit of a loot hoarder. If I see shiny, I pick it up. What I usually do is whenever I have any kind of downtime during a run, I open my inventory and mark anything less than yellow, and anything less than ancestral as junk. Then when I get to town I can just instantly vendor half my inventory and then sort and quickly scan through the rest. Probably not the most efficient to pick up everything, but that strategy could be used even when you only accidentally pick up junk. I also use that downtime to throw out any gems since I already got way too many.

Thanks for this Raxx! I never even considered this sorting method! I will be using it from now on.

[@milkotopaloff5504]

Note: If you get gear 700-724 IP (Sacred) you can upgrade it on the Jeweller/Blacksmith to 725+. Then the values get rerolled to the next tier (Ancestral). This is usually good on jewellery/stat stick items where damage/armor is not that important.

[@milkotopaloff5504]

@CTHorde By ancestral roll I mean the highest bracket of mod tier, which is 725+. So If you upgrade something that is 700-724 the mod tier gets upgraded to the highest one, which usually refers to ancestral items because most of them are 725+.

[@Silasftww]

@@milkotopaloff5504 I dont think people refer ancestrals to that, :O but yeah ancestrals has a lowest point at like 685 or something and sacred items can go as high as 710 or something and can then potentially get upgraded to 725+ :P

[@FallenxAngels91]

I wonder how many people know this too, you dont have to run to a nightmare dungeon, you can fast travel to it.

I like the mark feature (a save feature would be better though). This video really helped me, I spent so much time evaluation gear, it's not even funny.

[@icb84]

Super helpful but I was really hoping for some tips and best practices for using my stash space effectively. Request for video please!

[@mairisgelsbergs7357]

OMG i didn't even know about the sort button. Man you saved me years!

[@angrykaren]

Most useful vid! Thank You Raxx!

I hope that Rhykker will make a Druid that resembles you

[@zorin6570]

Or a rogue with a blue hood maybe.

[@Jules-77]

Oh yes. Please 😂

[@uchihadayne6506]

I created a lookup mirror of my stash in excel so it returns the immediate amount and stats on an item so I know whether to keep it or not. Highly recommend

[@maisenovich]

Thank you. I needed this video more than I knew.

[@IvanGolo]

Feels good to know that I've been doing it as a pro all this time out of my own instinct :)

[@sabyasachidas7058]

Another good rule of the thumb is look for bad stats instead of one.. if there is more than one of something you dont want... It goes...That or something you definitely want on a peice like +rank to coreskill on gloves or movement speed on boots Also in torment, anything non ancestral goes unless its a legendary aspect i can extract

[@ThijsSchrijnemakers]

Been playing lots since launch and only now found out there is a sort button. Hah! Very useful video, thanks

[@chaosdragun1608]

They really need some basic filters for the inventory before they expand it. Yes I want more stash tabs given the huge discrepancy in tabs between D4 and D2 but without proper filters ill just get even more lost in my yard sale sized stash pile.

[@wordvomit100]

Thanks, Raxxanterax! This was very helpful. I am just leveling up my sorcerer my second toon. 😊

[@liiiinder]

7:37 ... if they are sacred and +700 ip they are indirectly an ancestral and shouldn't be instantly trashed. So always check if they are that high, if they are they will get the Ancestral affix values when upgraded past 725 and be as good .

[@gukojui7682]

I swear this guide help me so much thank you 💯

[@warrensmith481]

Have two 80+ characters and never realized there was an inventory sort button until now… good looks haha.

[@JanJanNik]

there is one BIG flaw in this method. sacred items aren't automatically trash, especially amulets and rings. an item power 700 or above amulet or ring can have the exact same stat ranges as an 820 ancestral, because upgrading it to 725 gets it to the last affix breakpoint.

[@souljaofdgnz3]

Thank you! This video helps a noob like me. Still much to learn. Keep ‘em coming sensei.

[@BummerSlug]

Having a 20 minute video on how to quickly look through your inventory speaks volumes.

[@agaaga7748]

sacred items that are not weapons, with item power 700+ with the right stats can be end game worthy A fully upgraded 5/5 sacred that reaches 725+ has the same stat ranges as ancestral

[@Krybo]

but not the same armor, for us hc enthusiasts

[@agaaga7748]

@@Krybo ye sure on armor it's a little bit less armor (1 armor per item power), but if it rolls max on all stats, might still be worth considering using ye? :)

[@brettlewis2900]

The extra armor really becomes a must when pushing the very high tiers on certain builds.. But yes overall the armor will not make or break you

[@nunya3399]

thanks for saying. I was gonna mention this also. A perfect 701 amulet would be a sad thing to see go.

[@ryrylc]

You are forgetting that stat rolls like max life (or anything that is not a percentage) rolls much lower at 700 than at 800.

[@carniattos]

I was looking for a video exactly like this 😮. Thank you for that. It is already saving me a lot of time on my sessions ❤❤

[@liammurphy2725]

I'm so casual I didn't even know about the 'sort' button. Thank you Raxx.

[@pierrepellerin249]

What I do, anything that says sacred or ancestral under 780 power goes to trash ( I don't have anything under power 800). Usually, that's 75% of what you collect. Anything that has 2 bad stats, gone. So, within 30 sec, am usually down to 5 or so items and I can quickly compare with my equip stuff. That works for me, find what works for you.

[@corylewis7219]

Hello. Thank you for the informative video. At about 13:55 "wand" is pronounced rhyming with "land" when as far as I know it should be pronounced rhyming with "pond".

[@brandont4259]

This is exactly what I needed thank you

[@ahuehuehue4147]

Super helpful man, thanks alot for taking the time, should improve alot of people's QoL.

[@Altmerius]

Nice guide. One thing wasn't mentioned: which items should be salvaged for materials and which for gold?

[@j3annie1963]

thanks for the organizational cleaning procedure! appreciate it!

[@Alexis-vw3qs]

You made it 1000% easier for me really appreciate it 👍🏾

[@morwo9243]

value ranges seen in vid 11:00 and so on, might be toggled on in options to see them. should be noted here as it helps novice people whom actually view this as learning how to look through the items faster

[@KK-be8rv]

We need a addon, that can be configured to assign points for your statspriority, so you can just by looking at that number, you should know if the item is good for your build. It should tell you how many stats are good.

[@SynQ86]

Massive thanks. Checking gear was an absolute time sinkhole for me rofl

[@dfonda]

Thank you for this vid, I was probably spending 50% of my playtime looking at printouts, trying to figure out if an item was an upgrade or not, one problem was that build guides tell me dps>AS, but I don't know in what ratio... like 1% better 10% better, 1000% better, aka should I toss a weapon with 1% AS for 10dps... for the first case obviously not, for the 2nd case its a wash for the 3rd case I should toss 900%AS for 1 more dps, thanks for this guide

[@alexcasillas]

Didn’t know about this, thank you for sharing, it’s going to improve my sessions a lot 🙇🏻

[@drakedbz]

By the way Rax, an item _can_ change where it is in a stat range IF it would go over the 725 or 825 breakpoint when upgrading. Wudi has a video on this.

[@HD3ternity]

Actualy there is no breakpoint at 825. The interessting ones are at 625 and 725. But important hint!

[@chaoticshdwmonk]

He said 'if its above 725' @10:40

[@TrapiziumGaming]

The only stats that change above 725 item power are life and thorns. Every other stat is in the max tier range at 725. You should be checking sacred rings and necks because of the stat ranges (yes a sacred can roll 725+)

[@coachb1820]

Super helpful but at 13:51 did you mean to pronounce wand the same as hand 🤔

[@AG-ld6rv]

I wish you could use item level to decide not to examine stat sticks as a barbarian. It's pretty annoying checking every sword and bludgeoning to see if it has better stats. When picking a two-handed sword, that's easier as the item level is more important.

[@Arkayjiya]

Upgrading beyond a threshold does reroll the value completely, that's why early in WT4 I still took the sacred items because I got some very good 700+ items once I upgraded them past 725. Probably not worth it later on when you drop tons of ancestral though. And yeah upgrading (except past a threshold) only increase affixes by 10% per upgrade so a low roll will remain low because it's just low +50% vs high +50%.

[@fjoerge_]

When you have decent Gear: Activate Advanced Tooltips and Compare Items. Then just take a quick glance if you have 2-3 red color in the comparison. If you have 3 times red it means, that you hit the same rolls you already have on your item --> Take a 2nd look If it's 3-4 times green, you have other rolls you most likely don't need --> Sell it

[@OkosHugPillow]

One of the reasons I had to drop my shadow dot minion build. Had to change to bonespear because none of the most important affixes in the game applied to it.
