Thanks for the fast response.
I had seen this comment u made in the other post:
"Based on my experience, this build should do well even in niobium. Worst case scenario - I will keep my equipment and level up a better HE without bargaining and enhanced perception using all the uber items I got from my previous try. So no loss there
"
But by this comment, did you mean that you didn't need bargaining anymore because your high level HE could feed items to your new HE?
So, what your saying is, if this is the only char I ever make in sacred 2, then still go with bargaining. Otherwise, the only time you wouldn't is if you had a high level char of the same class with high bargaining already?
I am more of a defensive type player, which is why I was thinking stormite. But then again I am a total noob to Sacred 2. I played sacred 1 for a month or so when it came out.
