Why is soul Taker so outrageously expensive??

Who did I know you'll use cyclone as your only line of defense?
Welcome to facebreaker cyclone

Run 3 auras
29k DPS with LL
Zero mana problem
Legacy FB costs 1/15 of Legacy ST
Go find me a ST cyclone build that does 29k DPS with LL linked.
Hint: you can't

You shouldn't have to link BM, or mana leech to you attack when using a rare physical damage weapon, period. This point renders half the benefit of ST useless.
I've used a rare weapon for over 4 months now and never have had mana issue. Right now I'm doing 63k LMP DPS with spectral throw.

Stop acting as if everyone plays spectral throw (one of the lowest mana costing skills in the game)

Some people run attack skills that cost 4 time, or more, to cast than spectral throw does.

You know your train of thought is like telling me quill of rain is a shitty overpriced item for 6 link versions because you can get the same rare to do more dps if it isn't a cast on crit or explosive arrow build.

All I know is I back up my claim with evidence. I don't think you've ever had a chance to use a soul taker and compare it to a high end rare.

Your CLAIM is that soul taker is overpriced to a competitive rare.

I literally explained the instance that people value the no mana mod on it for certain builds to give them competitive dps for rares/gear that would cast the same in value to do the same thing.

You link me overpowered 1000% legacy facebreakers which is consider one of the best builds in the game.

I can literally back the claim that rares of the same value of 6 link quillrain can outdps almost every single build using quillrin that is not explosive arrow or cast on crit. Unless your going to disagree with me.

Some people just enjoy arguing

Soul Takes bestest
Like hammerdin

I sold my soul taker to eventually mirror the sword Miracle Edge- 540 dps. I was wearing BoR and mana for Cyclone was sustainable with the amount of DPS I was doing. Then I sold that for a legacy kaom's and I am making a RF char

50% less damage is not moderate by any mean. And 50% is already an understatement. I'd say about 1/3 of a mirrored rare weapon. And that's the damage of a 350 dps legacy ST. Try it when you have the money.

Wait, so you are claiming that you can get 3 times the DPS from a rare one hander. Please show me a 900 dps one hander. I haven't seen one.

And then you are constantly comparing mirror items (which cost roughly 150 exalts to get a copy) to a weapon that cost 50 exalts.

So you mean to tell me if I spend triple the price I can get more dps?!




lol this guy.
