Loot -- Be Careful of What You Wish For

[MongoJerry]

I can tolerate less than 5 affixes on chest armor, but certainly no less than 3 and those three have to be main stat/vit/all resists....also, it must have 3 sockets, or it aint really worth using if you ask me.

Exactly -- high levels of stat, high levels of vit, high levels of all resist, and 3 sockets. That's 4 affixes. If you start with only being able to roll 4 affixes, the chances of actually rolling that perfect combination becomes nearly impossible. If you had 5 affixes to roll so that there's at least some margin of error, then it at least becomes possible after potentially hundreds of crafts. Also, you might get incredibly lucky and get +armor, too.
