Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the rerolling (replacing, enchant) the properties of an item.
I'm using the Deadset Guides as a reference for my builds and it includes a recommendation for item stats.
But I'm unsure what has priority: rerolling the most important property so it is at its highest, or getting the most of the top characteristics.
I will use an example.
I am using the Firebird Archon build and have two sets of Firebird Talons.
Firebird Talons:
Deadset recommendation:
(1) Intelligence (825 - 1000)
(2) Critical Hit Chance (8 - 10 %)
(3) Critical Hit Damage (26 - 50%)
(4) Cooldown Reduction (5-8%)
(5) Vitality (825 - 1000)
Two versions of a Firebird Talon (Ancient):
(1) Intelligence:  Set 1: 901 vs Set 2: 833
(2) Critical Hit Chance: Set 1: 8,5% vs Set 2: 10%
(3) Critical Hit Damage: Set 1: None vs Set 2: None
(4) Cooldown Reduction: Set 1: None vs Set 2: None
(5) Vitality: Set 1: None vs Set 2: 969

Armor: Set 1: 585 vs Set 2: 542
Set 1:
Primary: Resistance to All Elements 122
Secondary 1: 34% extra gold from monsters
Secondary 2: +3342 Thorns Damage

Set 2:
Primary: Regenerates 9105 life per second
Secondary 1: +188 Fire Resistance
Secondary 2: Monster kills grant +237 experience
 
Question 1:
What property would you replace in both sets?
Set 1:
(1) Intelligence:  Set 1: 901 
(2) Critical Hit Chance: Set 1: 8,5% 
(3) Critical Hit Damage: Set 1: None 
(4) Cooldown Reduction: Set 1: None 
(5) Vitality: Set 1: None 

Armor: Set 1: 585 
Primary: Resistance to All Elements 122
Secondary 1: 34% extra gold from monsters
Secondary 2: +3342 Thorns Damage

Set 2:
(1) Intelligence:  Set 2: 833
(2) Critical Hit Chance:  Set 2: 10%
(3) Critical Hit Damage:  Set 2: None
(4) Cooldown Reduction: Set 2: None
(5) Vitality: Set 1:  Set 2: 969

Armor: Set 2: 542
Primary: Regenerates 9105 life per second
Secondary 1: +188 Fire Resistance
Secondary 2: Monster kills grant +237 experience
 
Question 2:
After you have replaced one property in both sets, which of either would you choose?
 
 
My interpretation and answer to these questions:
Question 1:
What property would you replace in both sets?
Set 1:
(1) Intelligence:  Set 1: 901 
(2) Critical Hit Chance: Set 1: 8,5%  --> Option 1: Either get this to the maximum of 10%
(3) Critical Hit Damage: Set 1: None  --> Option 2: Or get this one and get rid of Resistance to all elements
(4) Cooldown Reduction: Set 1: None 
(5) Vitality: Set 1: None 

Armor: Set 1: 585 
Primary: Resistance to All Elements 122 (--> Option 2: Trade this in for Critical Hit Damage)
Secondary 1: 34% extra gold from monsters
Secondary 2: +3342 Thorns Damage

Set 2:
(1) Intelligence:  Set 2: 833 --> Option 1: Either get this up to the maximum of 1000
(2) Critical Hit Chance:  Set 2: 10%
(3) Critical Hit Damage:  Set 2: None --> Option 2: Get this one while getting rid of regenerates 9105 life per second
(4) Cooldown Reduction: Set 2: None
(5) Vitality: Set 1:  Set 2: 969

Armor: Set 2: 542
Primary: Regenerates 9105 life per second (--> Option 2: Trade this in for critical hit damage)
Secondary 1: +188 Fire Resistance
Secondary 2: Monster kills grant +237 experience
 
Question 2:
After you have replaced one property in both sets, which of either would you choose?
My guess would be:
Set 1:
(1) Intelligence:  Set 1: 901 
(2) Critical Hit Chance: Set 1: 8,5%  
(3) Critical Hit Damage MAXIMUM REROLLED
(4) Cooldown Reduction: Set 1: None 
(5) Vitality: Set 1: None 

Armor: Set 1: 585 
(Primary:  Traded in resistance to all elements)
Secondary 1: 34% extra gold from monsters
Secondary 2: +3342 Thorns Damage
 
I would really love to hear your views on this. Would you for instance even go for the cooldown reduction instead depending on your other items?
 
Would you also save a really good item, that for instance has a different kind of damage (in this case not fire damage), keeping it for a different future build. Or do you reroll everything to suit the build you are using now?
 
Thanks everyone for their input, I'm very curious to hear!
Kind regards,

i keep getting mixed answers on what i should be going for. as for right now my stat priority is    agi>bonus armor>crit=mastery>versi>haste>multi
 
and atm i have all crit enchants on gear, and the shattered hand wep enchant.
 
any help would be appreciated

Hi, I've been reading the Holy Paladin guide from Icy Veins, but I can't understand why Mark of Shadowmoon is better than Mark of the Thunderlord if Crit is the 2nd most important stat (after Intellect obviously). I'd appreciate any help!
 
 
 
 
 
   

Hey guy,
I was recently thinking about my weapon enchant. I dont know if iam the only one but at my current level of gear Simcraft is giving me the following stat priority: Mastery (2.79) > MS(2.72) > Crit (2.58)
 
Because of this I was asking myself if Mark of the bleeding hollow could be a better enchant then mark of the thunderlord which i currently have enchanted. Or maybe enchanting one weapon with the crit enchant and the other one with the mastery enchant. What are your thoughts about it? Which enchant do you got?

AskMrRobot advises you to use Mark of the Shattered Hand (mastery) on your weapon and enchant everything else with Crit. Mark of the Thunderlord, however, not only gives you crit, but gives you a chance to extend the buff duration when you crit, which sounds good if you can cast chaos bolts.

What do you think is the best enchant for Destruction Warlocks?
