I've been getting epic loot drops lately which is nice but the stats on a lot of the armor is really not much better than the regular green armor I've been using which a lot of times has a higher stamina or health bonus. Purple looks great but, gets me killed a lot. The epic purple weaponry has been nice though. Being a Barby I've got a couple killer hammers that rip through mobs. Up on Atzels Approach I've been testing these mobs to see how many I can take out. Pretty cool when your dropping 7 or 8 Pickets and can walk away from it! Still, I love seeing a jeweled treasure chest and whats inside!!

I can't speak from experience as I'm only lvl 49 atm, but I've heard that epic drops are really not that great.

Yep, any more, I don't really pay too much attention to the loot "name" color but rather just the stats. If stats on stuff I'm interested in (invuln's, hp, stamina, etc) is higher, I'll switch to it, otherwise.. I post it in AH to see if anyone wants to buy for at least what the merchant will pay for it :)  Often, no one is interested.
