Rarity on gear ruins the experience

Quantity is far greater then rarity. You roll maps with 200% quant you will make way more the dude running 1000 rarity.

Yeah but it's not an OR.

It's IIQ and IIR.

You get IIQ on Atlas, Tablets and Maps.

You get IIR on gear and Atlas, Tablets and Maps.

I'm happy with how IIQ works today as it's not build specific. Everyone can have IIQ nodes in their atlas, tablets and maps regardless of what build they choose to run.

The same isn't true for IIR on gear.

I'd much rather do a 100IIQ map with a 400IIR char than with a 100IIR.

You don't need rarity on gear we've already seen the data

Running no rarity on gear is objectively worse than running it.

For what purposes, though. For the maximal damage or defense set up, rarity is a dead affix. For farming currency orbs, sure having rarity is objectively better. It's still not necessary though, and given the data we've seen you shouldn't be so affixed with it.

Haha shouldn't be so "affixed" with it- I see what you did there!


-1 to original post. As mentioned this topic has been tested and it isn't quite as important as everyone recommending it's removal perceives.

If your build is so inflexible it doesn't have optional affix slots you can give away to increase your efficiency that isn't a game problem it's a build problem. It will be great at clearing content, just not good at farming


But OP did mention that if you aren't stacking rarity you feel like you are missing out. So the topic is about FOMO and feelings

RARITY is just another useless stat, making drops just harder to balance.
Have no idea why they added it.

if you don't want any raw divs and perfect jewelers SURE

I had over 170 rarity for a long time and didn't drop a perfect jeweler in over 500 hours. Then I dropped 3 within 2 days. Then I dropped more. It has nothing to do with rarity if you're getting a perfect jeweler and the impact it has on divine drops is minimal as well. You are robbing yourself by having a false perception of reality.

If item rarity does not have any noticable impact, it's pointless stat. One way or another I would still prefer to remove it from the gear. In fact, I'm struggling to find single good reason to keep it.
