With Spirit out now, there is less variety of certain usable items. I'm not saying that there aren't any, but that spirit is now the ideal item for some builds now so it gets rid of some of those items that could have been useful.

I like spirit in LLD, because (except windy and fissure) there is always a better weapon if you want to use a rare. Sorry but a +2cold/+3blizz fcr orb is better than spirit in my opinion. Dual spirit hammeridans can be evil, but most people that have one don't know how to duel as them. My fissure druid can take Ehhh's life down to about a half before I die, which is pretty nice for a fissure.

Spirit ruin LLD...

Nah, spirit made LLD better.

So a hammerdin can use dual spirits

they get suped up life/mana/fcr/fhd/dmg/res

they get much more damage

and doesn't it make you feel all the much better when you own one in a duel?

i got this one grand scepter, +2 pcombat/+3 hammer magic, spirit is raped

Hammerdins need the spirit to b e able to survive. a caster who cant aim his own missles is a sad one indeed, and only with huge amounts of life/mana/fcr can you even come close to catching up to a fast caster like a sorc or trapper, or even bowzon. My 30 trapper has a tough time against dual spirit hammerdin but i never lost to one when i was focused, so who cares? spirit's not the coup de grace', its just icing on the cake, just get better stuff (cause thats what its all about) and you can beat a hammerdin easy.

Yeah, the only weapon I've seem that is better than spirit for a hammerdin, and only in selective circumstances, is Dely's +3 Hammer/2 Conc Honor scepter for the 10 rep life, higher damage, and damage on the weapon (for charging purposes).

people need to stop saying enigma ruined d2... can you imagine dueling sorcs in 1.10+ WITHOUT enigma? nothing would stand a chance... 90% of stuff already dosnt stand a chance vs a skilled sorc even WITH enigma.. and spirit is weak... its only good for one char.. a hammerdin.. and there are weapons to bat it for hammerdin too. a sorc and necro using a spirit, is a very lacking sorc or necro, gearwise. grief isnt bad either... before grief, a godly smiter or v/t didnt stand a huge chance against a good caster. now they do, and they still dont own by any means, not any more than any other good caster can. and grief on barbs didnt change too much either. anything a barb can own with grief, it could own with botd, for the mostt part. i don't see any chars dominating just because grief , enigma, or spirit came about. dely's hammerdin was 95% as good as it is now before spirit even came out!

bel is right.

nec would use +2 pnb/20 fcr/+3 spirit wand
sorc would use +2 skill tab/20 fcr/+3 skill (fb/blizz/light)/mastery orb

all the new runewords ruined diablo2.

synergies ruined dueling

.09 > .11

ladder is stupid

although i do not think spirit ruined lld, it did take away people finding their own godly gear. people said the same thing about vamp gaze and shaftstop when the expansion came out.
