Lets get a discussion going about what mods we fighters should be looking for on our gear:

1. Attack speed: Very useful, although I have yet to see it on gear I want to use. Verdict: Very useful

2. Health Steal: Not all that useful. Hit for 1000, steal 10 health for every point of health steal. You will not even notice it unless you are a low health fighter. Verdict: Minimally useful

3. Mana Steal: I notice even 1%. Since we have low mana, stealing 10 mana on a 1000 point hit is nice. 6 hits earns you a poison cloud. Good deal. Verdict: Very useful.

4. Stun Resistance: This can't be bad, being stunned is a pain; you do less damage and take more. However, its only useful against certain mobs. Verdict: Moderately useful.

5. Increased Chance to Crit: At lvl 39, 80 agility, my warrior does not crit all that much. So boosting the chance by a small percentage doesnt excite me that much. Might be better if I was running with more agility and had more base crits. Verdict: Minimally useful.

6. Gear with +health: Obviously a snooze for a fighter. Verdict: Value it in endurance points

7. Gear with +mana: Nice, since its so painful for fighters to get mana. I used an ammy with +109 mana for a long time beyond its level because how else was I going to get that mana without wasting 12 attribute points? Verdict: Very useful (if you need more mana)

8. Movement Speed: I dunno, we are fighters, are we really supposed to run away? Useful for exploring mostly cleared level I suppose. Verdict: Minimally useful.

Top Choices: Attack speed, mana steal, +mana

Good 3 choice. Since im pure STR fighter (lin1 style...B)) i always choosing +Ag jewlery and for armor only PDef count, higher is better since i dont use shield.

About weapon, well coz of fashion reasons i like Claymores, and one with good +str and/or Ag/Int count. Mana steal is also very good but i still didnt found edge weapon with it, had one Walloper that served me good thru at least 15 lvls.

Att speed have reason only if u going for crushing weapons, edge are alreayd fast enaf.

9. Resistances: Meh, seemed really useful at first, but they dont seem to lvl enough to do anything. Verdict: Minimally useful

10. +Damage type: Ok if its the right type and on your weapon, on a piece of armor it just restricts your weapon choices as you lvl. +melee damage% is pure goodness. Verdict: varies

11. +elemental damage to weapon: Doesn't seem to add enough damage. Don't know if it gets boosted by boosters like toxic talent for poison. Verdict: Minimally useful, maybe better if gets boosted by the booster skills

12. +elemental damage type per second: Poison or divine are good for boosting rend or gas blast. Verdict: poison or divine moderately useful, others: not useful.

My most desirable mods as a fighter (non member) are:

+strength +mana & +melee dps

Us non members simply don't see the variety in items like members do. Err we see it, but no touching.
