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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for videos like this Raxx! I hope you know just how many people you help by doing what you do! You're awesome!

There is one caveat to the rolls. If you upgrade an item and it pushes the item into the next item power breakpoint it rerolls the stats within the range. So if you're looking at a 720 weapon with perfect stats but they're all minimum rolled, you can upgrade it past 725 and it'll reroll in the new breakpoint range, possibly giving better relative rolls

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.

Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

Most useful vid! Thank You Raxx!

One subtle caveat Wudijo mentioned is that if it breaks out from below 725 to above 725 or Any of the other breakpoints it completely rerolls the range. It's possible it rows lower or higher than it was pre-upgrade.

15:30 No need to tell me that sadly :( I have gloves that have pretty solid rolls, crit, atk speed, +4 ice shard, lucky chance. Crit is maxed out, it's 12. 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

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!

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. I wonder how people look through gear that dont do it like this, or if they just skip it because its exhausting after hundreds of runs. Thanks for updating us to even those "normal" things, I love you.

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!

thanks for the organizational cleaning procedure! appreciate it!

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.

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.

It might not be efficient but at least looking at sacred "stat sticks" like unused weapons or jewelry might be worth your time since as long as the item is over 699 you will pass that final breakpoint. slap on an ancestral aspect and you can make a upgraded 725 ancestral thats just as good as a 820 item that dropped as ancestral.

Great video Raxx, as always. My quesiton going forward then is where does the better gear drop? NM dungeons, or Helltides or open world? I'm level 75 each on my sorc and rogue

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.

Incredibly useful video

Comprehensive video, about where I'm ending up with where I need to set the bar much higher for equiptment to keep it.

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.

i've heard of glacial aspect blizzard build, are there any other good static damage sources?

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.

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.
