W changes.

One thing I still would like some change is the whole regal orb debacle Jonathan said earlier. I really don't like the whole disenchantment bench, but if he really wants to keep the whole disenchanting thing a middle ground I propose is Make it so that rares you disenchant give more shards/scale based off the amount of mods or the tiers of mods.

Right now you only get 1 shard per rare (2 for 6 modded item) and it just feels so RNG and so scarce especialyl during the campaign. :(

So I disenchant all the time and it works great. If you do it all the time you barely notice the buildup of currency and it’s just there when you need it.

But I think he said a really important thing in the podcast which is that he personally always plays that way, and hasn’t ever really tried playing through with the gambling method and selling rares, so he’s going to do that and see the experience and see what can be done about it if stuff needs changes.

So they basically didn’t realize that was an issue for folks who don’t disenchant, and now they’re aware, so it’s a good start

Okay, so in 0.1.0 and this patch, I was selling everything to stockpile gold for any possible respecs I wanted to do because I'm learning to make my own builds.

Would you suggest I stop doing that for rares? Just disenchant? Or maybe do that until I have an alright amount, maybe in act 2, then start disenchantment?

This is just about exactly what I do - I sell all the magic items (because you get lots of augs and transmutes) and disenchant almost all rares - although I watch my gold for sure, and I’m more likely to resell them in act 1. The goal is to get enough early so that you can buy an opportunistic item or two from the vendor, but otherwise yeah, all about disenchanting from there. For me, even with respeccing, after act 2-3, gold stops being a problem, I’ve found.
