I have a question about Epic Items.

[BluD_LuSt]

I have a few good epic items and hundreds of charms (Like Atremis Bowstring and Essence of Zeus' Thunderbolt etc.) but I can't put them in any Epic Items. I think that is kinda bad because now I need to go out and find green items that are not as good just so I can enchant them.

Why can't we enchant Epic Items to make them even more Epic??

It's about the total number of magical abilities on each item. A good dual-affix green item with a good charm with a good completion bonus (especially where weaponry is concerned) tends to have much higher raw DPS than an Epic or Legendary because you dispense with all the "5% Chance of One of the Following:" BS and can go straight for mods that matter for damage, like damage to health conversion, - resistances, +% Damage, +% Attack Speed, etc.

The Greens then become like a made-to-order item whereas you're stuck with what you get on a legendary.

ok thanks that explains a lot :P

I think, that is interesting for all.

So basically if you can find a really good green item and enchant it you are getting a blue or better item?

I still think we should be able to enchant epic items :P

Epics and Legendaries are designated as such for a reason. There's actually a green that I know of that's part of an epic set.

Cool. Its just that one of my smaller stashes is overflowing with relics and charms and all my equipment is blue :P

Greens are more useful for twinking lowbies too. If you have captain's signets, you can run a Defender with an endgame legendary shield sometime in normal Egypt. Like, 3k+ dps if you're choosy with your greens.

Can't do that with uniques.
