Talk:Spaulders of Zakara

NP Ishi, it's cool. I wrote this because according to 'most popular items' charts, people always use this, unless they have Aughild's or class set shoulders. OFC hardcore chars do not value it so high :)) Pryamus (talk) 07:31, May 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * With all due respect, I think the main reason why even Softcore players don't value the shoulders is the fact that death, in comparison to D2, is a bit forgiving. At the worst, its a few thousand gold per death. You can get more gold in ONE PILE sometimes than that repair bill for one death. And in the name of efficiency, if you're dying a lot, you shouldn't be on that difficulty in the first place, which does hinder the pauldrons' potential use. The players that may be using it now are probably using it because they've got nothing better, as sad as that is to say. Ishi Clarke (talk) 07:36, May 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * True. It's just the best thing you can have at the start. Honestly, I think loss of Pool of Reflection buff is more serious. But maybe it's just psychologically comforting to know that if you died, nothing really bad happened... IDK. I am wearing these myself, but only because it will be weeks before I can get something more decent. Pryamus (talk) 07:39, May 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * General rule, be careful about statements about "x being popular," unless it's from a cited source. Such statements constitute original research (wikis operate on the basis of outside research/material) and can enter iffy territory considering popularity is very subjective and doesn't give any useful utilitarian information. However, by all means describe an item and why it may be good at some things/bad at others, can even make class recommendations, but be careful about the popularity advice.--Hawki (talk) 08:35, May 12, 2014 (UTC)
