There's other legendaries where you can get put in that position. If you get a SoJ with the wrong +elemental% damage type you have to decide between rerolling the elemental damage to the one you want or rerolling one of the random primaries to crit chance. The same goes for the glove slot legendaries with +%elemental damage on them. In fact the vast majority of characters that ever loot a Magefist or Frostburn will have to choose between elemental% and crit chance, the only exceptions being characters that naturally are using mostly fire/cold or the ones that get really lucky and roll crit chance naturally.You'll almost never have to make that choice. Maybe a well rolled Andy's where you have to choose between 20% elemental or 6% CC(or reroll the IAS?). No other slot forces you choose 2 out of 3: +elemental, CC, CD.
Meh it just starts at a higher price, but it doesn't increase. When you reroll rings/amulets, you pay like 300k every reroll for the gem but the reroll itself doesn't have a cost so it never gets to 5millions per reroll like it can if you're rerolling another slot. So it sucks if you're lucky but it's great if you're unlucky.I just started twitching at the mention of re rolling anything on a SoJ ...oh the cost ...oh the pain.
Would you like +450 vit or + 470 vit on that SoJ? Raaaaaaaaaaahh
Farm a level 60 one if you can, they reroll for nearly free and can still do 50% crit damage/6% crit/30% elite bonus/20% elemental. Mainstat suffers a bit is all.I just started twitching at the mention of re rolling anything on a SoJ ...oh the cost ...oh the pain.

Rings and amulets are a flat rate. It's one flawless imperial topaz per reroll, no increasing gold cost. Of course, that topaz costs 900,000 gold, but at least the price doesn't increase each click!They need to have one flat rate for rerolling items. Especially if you keep getting the same stats on an item. I once got all vitality three times in a row on pair of boots.
THIS a million times. Christ I've wasted like a bazllion gold on my shield.Yeah some slots are awful to roll. Rolling a crusader shield just right is a fucking pain too cause it can roll EVERYTHING, same for quivers or wiz/WD offhands.
This is about the worst possible thing they could do in a game where the entire end game and replay-ability comes from the loot hunt.They need to have one flat rate for rerolling items. Especially if you keep getting the same stats on an item. I once got all vitality three times in a row on pair of boots.
I also wish they would do this but I doubt it will ever happen. Make smart loot smarter by allowing items to have specific elemental affixes affording to your build. If my build is primary lightning then weapons and gear can drop with lightning stats instead of Holy, fire or arcane.
Yeah that honestly makes no sense.This is about the worst possible thing they could do in a game where the entire end game and replay-ability comes from the loot hunt.
