Yeah, Standard is a dumping ground for most people. Some people like playing on it and I can't really fault them for it, but it seems so boring. But hey, whatever makes people happy.

I too, like many, use it for a testing ground. You typically get a free full respec every league so I always have a level 90+ character with a blank slate ready to test whatever dumb ideas I have.

So, pardon me as a newer player, but each new League ultimately means you're starting from scratch? It just sort of feels like going all League all the time means you're in an eternal rat race that keeps resetting, whereas Standard lets you actually keep a character you like. Am I off-base somehow? Truly want to know.

Just started playing a little over a week ago. I just kind of want to know, to put it flatly, if off-meta builds can be workable for endgame stuff, or if you're more or less obligated to be a meta-slave if you want to beat the hardest content?

Just trying to make sure I understand prophecies. So, sometimes you'll enter a new area and a prophecy you can complete in that area will show up in purple text on the right. But other times you'll complete a similar prophecy without any warning. Clearly when the text is there the encounter is forced. But the other times it means you just completed it by random luck? I just sort of expected the prophecy to always appear if it was available for the area.

Okay, I think I kinda get it now, thank you for the in-depth answer.

So I got a random rare ilvl 100 body armor from divination cards, and of course the one I got isn't good. Question is, is it worth to keep and use chaos orbs on it simply because it's 100 ilvl? I have no idea. Base is Carnal Armour if that means anything.
