Question on quest rewards

[Munkay]

So you feel that the 18th point in gizz is as significant to me as the 2nd?

The fact that I do not even need the grizz sort of belies that point IMO. Not to mention that by the time you are killing the ancients in hell, you probably have many skill points from items, would suggest that is not the case.

I mean it seem self evident to me that if you can kill the ancients in hell, you really do not need to do any more leveling. Yes it won't hurt you, but it is not a necessity.

Gizz? Grizz? You mind clearifying what you ment?

You do not 'need' synergies. You can technically beat hell mode without using boots, without having resists, without wearing rings, without charms, but you don't see me trying it. To clearify, synergies aren't boosted by +skill items.

I'll use my javazon as an example: I do not need to boost Charged Strike with synergy points. It works well enough by itself. But there are more synergy skills than possible available points if you want to use valkaries/decoy (4 synergies plus 20 to CS). I will never reach the limit of CS's damage potential, even if I hit level 99. Do I need the extra points? Technically not. Does each one make a huge difference? Yes. The higher I boost the base skill CS with + skill items, the more each synergy gives. This enables me to solo baal in 8 players solo safely, etc. Does each skill point make a difference? To the style of my play, yes. Whether its the 80th skill point, or the first, each one is equally important to my character build, and this is not the only build that is very skill point dependent (sorc's for another example).

It may be self evident to your gameplay style/goals, that you do not need to level anymore if you can kill ancients in Hell. But there is a wide variance to Diablo II players goals, and a wide variance in what they enjoy in Diablo II. Different strokes for different folks.

Cheers,
