Oh for heaven's sake, I didn't mean to start a thread. But that is getting ridiculous.
I realize you have a lot of experience with the game and sometimes you make very informative, technical, insider sort of posts that are quite helpful - some of which I have thanked for. However, I really can't stand when you go off with the context-less, potentially even condescending hyperbole like this.
Here's another thing I realize, tysm. Speaking
from actual personal experience, I've managed to get a halfling killed in Lair while using a
+10 white triple crossbow, and certainly not at min delay. Yes it's all grand until other stuff is attacking and hitting much more often than you are. Anyone can be better shooting at something that has no flight or missiles on an island. Short of that there is a spectrum of not 'quite' so perfect to actually relatively awful compared to some other option.
Besides, it's deaths from lacking some particular utility or resistance that usually "sudden death" and annoy me most. So that is what I typically fuss most about gearing for.
