I’m laughing but the balance of this game is so fucked lmfao.

Why are you allowed to swap gear during sanctioned pvp matches.

Depending the game gear swapping efficiently is actually a big skill check

In Diablo 2 gear swapping is like one of the most fundamental skills in PvP

These aren't magical VR rules where you think about gear swapping and it happens automatically in a single frame, these are actual mouse clicks on inventory slots, quickly and with high precision, and every single gear swap mouse click is a mouse click that can't be spent on positioning or attacking (or blocking/parrying)

Against an aggressive top player, this strategy wouldn't have worked because the gear for mp restoration wouldn't be as good for defense, he would've been wide open. That's why he's not just wearing the MP items all the time.

tl;dr play games with unique highly customizable hero mechanics sometimes, they're interesting.

Huh. I’ll admit I didn’t know that, but also I’ll pass on playing Diablo thank you. My perspective perhaps comes from a place of ignorance, that I’ll grant, but that ignorance is founded upon the question of, genuinely, what is the constraint which prevents a top level player from simply having gear ready for every situation? MRes for fighting casters, Def for Phys Dealers, APen for tanks, et cetera.
It turns what should be, in my eyes, a test of skill and build design - Designing a character build, equipping them to synergize with that build, and then executing upon the plan you constructed earlier - into a batmanesque game of preparation where you’re trying to figure out the figurative silver bullet to your opponent, and them to you. Ironically, in a way, I could also argue that that reduces the value of the gear itself, as it now needs be homogenized in a way that isn’t disruptive to an endgame build if you swap it out with another piece.
