TOPIC: Orion's Belt

Will replace the charm necklace in my builds so I use the legendary necklace for my character class. For non strength builds it is the best belt in my opionion.

Although casters might like the arcane set, and rogues/monks might still want viper strike.

Lots of choices.

Good points. Really like the build flexibility it offers.

For my cleric, Orions belt seems interesting, but difficult to replace my girdle of stone giant strength. If I can find the right deal on a onyx cube I might make the switch, but as long as a onyx cube is almost the same price as a girdle of frost giant strength, I don't see that as an option.

The arcane belt is quite interesting as well, but then I lose some very valuable +hit.

The 2020 token is Ring of Wonder. Maybe you meant something else though.

Monks get to count both weapons for the set bonus, so they only need Shirt to hit the set bonus.

Melee rogues would probably be better using Fang/Shirt/Pants for the set bonus and wear Surtr's for the strength.

Ranged rogues might like the +3 Dex, but slot expanders are probably better given access to Quicksilver volunteer tokens.

If few get transmuted, I wonder if the leftovers will be plentiful in the treasure boxes like Icecrag was.

I'm sure you know this Milambus, but in case anyone else was unsure, only same-named Relic or Legendary weapons can count twice towards qualifying for a set bonus. Same-named UR (or lower) weapons only count as one towards qualifying for a set bonus.

Good point. I've had my relics long enough to not really think about that part anymore.
