Quote:... but having +skills (up to +2), dual-leech, half-freeze, and a resist with a still open slot for a prefix on an amulet or circlet is some not overpowered by comparisson? These mods are available rares in 1.10 and on a rare circlet in v1.09. With a socket you could still get the no-freeze property on a circlet anyway. At least the crafted item probably would have had an elevated required level to use compared to a similar rare.
You do have a point. Most of my playing experience comes from 1.09. I simply accepted that rare amulets and circlets were good and rare rings were almost always useless. So the crafted ring would just be better than the rare rings there. +skills only came from one of two unique rings, CBF only came from one unique ring and mana steal only came from one unique ring. So that specific crafted ring would have the most important aspects of three rings, combined into one.
If mana steal was allowed on rares (which it fortunately is again in 1.10) and if either +skills or CBF could randomly spawn on rings, I wouldn't consider that specific crafted ring so overpowered in comparison. It'd basically just be a better chance at a good rare, for a cost.
