So, we've all played the same game and, with the exception of the some randomly generated items, we've all come across the same stuff. I'm curious to know what items people really think are great. I found that except for jumping from +2 to +4 type weapons, I never loved one over another. With the multiple slots, I did keep one that was a "defender" and maybe another weapon type or one that added fire damege, but other than that I would go through long periods of the game with the same thing. I would find another weapon that was good, but not so great as to replace the ones I was already using, unless out of curiosity. Part of it could be my lack of D&D knowledge regarding when electrical damage vs. fire damage was appropriate. I found the same thing with armor. I liked the appearance of some of the special armors (Winter King's plate and that Dragon scale one that's all black), but I stuck with Mithral +2 because it didn't seem to cause a magical conflict. Also, I was usually driven by armor class and you always had to give up a couple of points to get resistance to acid or something like that. Did you ever really need resistance to acid? fire? cold?

I'm starting a new game (going for three characters this time) and I'd like to know why people liked certain items and when they needed them.
