Having played Diablo II since a year before the LOD release on Christmas of 99, I get the gist of what your saying when you say decent skills, like Diablo II it seems gear in MS can now do more than just stats, I found a warrior axe that could proc slow at a low rate.
Hidden-Street is my maplestory
Arreat Summit. Unfortunately I can't find all of the info I'm looking for in the repository alone, a problem it took Arreat Summit a few years to work out, even with Blizzard's help. That said, we don't seem to have the game dev's backs on this site.
Any reference links available would be vastly appreciated.
