[GUIDE] What makes an item good

Prefixes:

Most people are playing physical damage builds if using these weapons. Prefixes are what makes or breaks these weapons and there are also the big 3 here: +flat physical damage, +% physical damage and +% physical damage/accuracy. If you roll a weapon with these 3 in high ranges (and even the first 2 are enough) you are guaranteed to make a lot of money off of it. There are also probably people who play elemental damage builds, so getting 2-3 high elemental rolls can also be beneficial. Most often than not though, you are going to get a mix of physical and elemental rolls, which can be good but only if all the rolls are in the higher ranges.

Suffixes:

Attack speed is the main one. Some are looking for accuracy, and crit builds especially value the Crit Chance, with Crit Multiplier coming second. Resistances are also never bad.

This thread is misleading. For example many builds stack STR on gear and do not want tri-res on any item actually. This is just one example of how different builds needs specific items. Other builds have so much resistance from gear that they actually want IIQ/STR and one res mod.
