Demeter reduces resistance and Spinebreaker has insane dmg (for Epic). I would keep them in my weapon slots and use resistance reduction on bosses/harder foes. What char are you playing? (also, even if Veteran's Folg of Chaos dropped for me, I still doubt I would use it. That weapon is but ugly, cancer on a stick XD)

Playing a Conq, I know I should not trust the calculations, but Spinebreaker was showing as meaningfully less damaging.

Though it is totally off topic, I suppose I should ask, do different resist reductions stack with one another or does the highest one just override?

When I first began using TQVault, I was still in the habit of twinking my toons, so I made a whole slew o' vaults, such as Green Helms, Green Bracers, Green Greaves, etc., along with a vault each for the Uniques (Blue Amulets, Blue Bows, Blue Rings, etc. and Purple Amulets, Purple Breastplates, Purple Longswords, etc.). I had vaults for Normal/Epic/Legendary Charms and Essence/Embodiment/Incarnation Relics, Lesser/Greater/Divine Artifacts, etc. So, I had many vaults filled with all sorts of crap I was saving for future toons. Then I stopped twinking and realized my dilemma: I needed to separate my individual toons' items from all the stuff my twinked toons had found and lopped together in "general vaults" before. Now I have vaults for each untwinked toon (Tassandra 01, 02, 03, etc. or Grimgoethe 01, 02, 03, etc.). Each character's vault contains all the stuff that toon has found that it might use (armor, weapons, artifacts, formulae, relics, charms, etc.). MIs and Uniques and Set Items that the toon won't be using go into those older "general vaults" I had when I was twinking. So, if my Warden finds a purple staff, it won't go into her own vaults, but rather the Purple Staves vault. Yeah, it's cluttered, and one of these days I have to go through all those old vaults and clear out everything I was saving for twinking. Since I stopped twinking, the only things I'm putting into the "general vaults" are MIs and Uniques that my toons who find them can't use. There are rare exceptions where I'll find some crazy-good item in a shop/drop that has some amazing bonuses. I'll vault it even if I'll never use it, even though it's just a standard green item (like a Druid's Amulet of Convocation I found a couple of months ago with my Warden). Some items are just too cool to discard.

I've got something similar to your vault situation defboy . My oldest vaults are just sorted and numbered by item type... i.e. Mace1, Sword7, etc. Some few years later, I switched to adding difficulty level identifiers before the item type in the vault names... i.e. EpicMace3, LegendaryJewelry1, etc. At least with my newer vaults, I can go through them to get an idea of how often certain items drop in Epic or Legendary-- I haven't sorted any of my older vaults into the newer ones.

If I'm playing one of my disgustingly wealthy toons, I tend to buy just about anything that looks interesting, or anything with a combination of affixes I don't recall having already; I'm waaaay OCD about collecting things hehe. I added a legendary mace from the shop in plains of judgement a few days ago to my collection: a real live, genuine Ferocious weapon . Too bad it didn't have a suffix, but I think it might be my first ferocious item .

In the Personal Vault I also put loot any toon has found and it might use eventually Later on, if he/she outgrows it or vault just becomes full, I sort them to staves, swords, armor etc.
And Defboy99 - what the hell? How are you having such huge luck with MI items? What characters are you using to farm and where do you farm? Care to share some tips?

[Asheron]

Forgot to reply to jowshie - as a Conqueror, just get highest damage weapon, resistance reduction if not needed since you do massive amounts of physical, nobody is strong vs that, and you have Battle Standard, best tool to use against tough monsters About resistance, since is bit long to write here, check this thread (page 3), it should answer your questions.

[jowshie]

Thanks, that is very useful! The only purpose that I have seen for reducing their resists so far is if I can get enough to leech life from undead, though I do not know if that is even possible.

[Asheron]

It is possible, although bit redundant for Conqueror imho - you'll never gonna be good in stealing life as Spellbreaker is (he leeches life of traps), or any Spirit build. So instead of using resistance reduction gear, just get damage and defense high, and just pop a potion now and then. That's what I propose at least, I like to focus on strength on masteries I'm using and so only my Spirit chars use ADCtH.

Wow, good run of luck there. I don't think I've even heard of Sakur-Aba or Pradixikae. Did have a Spear of the Dryads on my old PC, but it hasn't appeared yet since I've been playing on the new one. Way to go!
