Congratulations Mac. You spend yourself providing top notch content for this community, so its good to see you not only succeeding but enjoying the process. I look forward to D4 and seeing how this community tackles an entirely unexplored game. Edit: was holding back on commenting about the crown: I think your crazy. I get too many jester vibes.

Something I've noticed lots of people forget is that you can make a CTA in a staff, so finding a 3ES 5 soc staff will give you a level 5 energy shield while also having access to BO. Even better if you get ice or shiver armor rolled onto it or static field, teleport ect. this makes swapping to your eschutas or 6 enchant orb that much easier whole still maintaining a nice ES level.

IMO the only way to make CHAM and ZOD reach its true value, is not by making some OP runewords (although none of the CHAM runewords is really comparable with Enigma or Infinity or even Fortitude / Grief), but instead they should implement a cube recepy for breaking CHAM into previous rune. Imagine breaking CHAM into 2 JAH rune and 2 JAH can further be broke into 4 BER runes (and so on). That indeed will make CHAM trully valuable as it supposed to be since its 4 times more rare than BER and approx 2 times more rare than JAH. It hurts my eyes to see trades making JAH more cheap than BER when it is twice as rare as BER.

Does it ever make sense to use and infinity on a whirlwind/zealer/multi/strafe character?
