Finally reached level 30 and found a nice pair of boots as well. I think it may be a while before I find something to replace them.

@fearedbliss
You're not kidding, those are a really nice pair of boots! Tri-res, FRW, and one off perfect (I think) MF% as a bonus! If the LR was higher, those would be GG.

How does "fastest" translate to LoD numbers? Is that 40%?

Not 100% sure but prolly 30-40% yea haha. Although the original philosophy (from my understanding) the devs had (and why they didn't have specific %s) was that they didn't want people to spend too much time thinking about these factors but rather wanted them to just enjoy and play the game. If you saw "fast vs faster vs fastest", well the decision is easy, equip whatever is faster and keep on playing. Same goes for IAS/FCR. In a way, I do prefer the simplicity of that system.

@Snotspill Haha ty. I might not even make it to Hell Duriel with this char :?. Given the extremely slow leveling curve, low drop rates, and just lack of gear, it gets boring, and it's definitely a test of patience as well. But in a way it's part of the fun? We'll see what happens. Playing a different char helps in this regard for sure, but defeats the purpose of playing this type of character. In a lot of ways the experience is what you make it ;D.

On another note, I was able to finally find an upgrade for my previous weapon. I did lose 6% LL and attack speed, but my max damage went up by 30, combined with Critical Strike, it helps amplify that affect. The sword also has 4 Cold Damage so that helps chill enemies ;D. I also saw a +19 str pair of boots in the shop, good ol' prelod possibilities.
