User blog comment:Brainwasher5/Why is Sandstorm Trek so popular?/@comment-2154860-20161226124010

In the Diablo II community, vitality is given a ridiculous amount of importance, particularly with hardcore players, and Sandstorm Trek gives that "most precious" stat a "HUGE" bonus. Personally, I'd pick other boots, but the "real" players would only choose War Travellers over Sandstorm Treks if their D2JSP build guide said so.
