The Juggler-JUG

I have done some playtesting of this variant with an Amazon and am having a great deal of fun.If anybody else would like to play test this variant with another character class I would appreciate any thoughts you may have.

The Juggler is on a quest to have nothing but Rare and Unique items equipped but is willing to exchange one item for another whenever possible.

The Juggler begins with the items given him and starts hunting for Rare items,Unique items, and Bosses.

Whenever a Boss monster is killed the item dropped is equipped and must be used if possible.
An equippable item is an item that meets your base strength and dexterity figures on the character screen.(White figures).
If the item is not equippable it must be sold unless it is a Rare or Unique.
Rare and Unique may be kept until the base requirements for the item are met.Only one rare or unique item for each equipment slot may be horded.Do not identify the item until it is equippable.

Each time a Boss is killed the new drop replaces the old one.A replaced item should be sold.Once a rare or unique item has been equipped it can only be replaced by another rare or unique.
Magical items do not replace Rares and Uniques.Only rares and Uniques replace each other.

Any rings,amulets,rares, or uniques found by the Juggler must be used even if they did not come from a Boss kill.

*Rings and Amulets

Whenever a ring or amulet is found it replaces an equipped jewellery item.Magical rings do not replace Rares or Uniques.Used rings must be sold until the Horadric Cube is found. See below.

*Gems

The first gem found must be socketed into the next socketable and useable item found by the Juggler.Gemmed items are considered magical.

When a socketable item is found every socket should be filled if you have a gem available.Gems are accumulated until a socketable item is found.Once the socketable item is equipped,the finding of another gem will start your search for a new socketable item.

*Imbues

After doing the Horadric Malus quest for Charsi the first imbueable,useable item that drops from a monster kill must be imbued and used.

*Gambling

Gambling is allowed but only for an equipment slot that has a Rare or Unique item equipped.For example: If you have a rare Helm equipped you can then gamble for all head gear.

*Cubing

Once the Horadric Cube is found used rings and amulets are cubed as soon as 3 of either type are accumulated.The cubed item is then used unless the slot(s) are occupied by a rare or unique item.

*Shopping

Shopping is not allowed except for miscellaneous items.Arrows,potions,scrolls,etc.

*Notes:
Set items(green) are considered magical.

Act Bosses can drop more than one magic item.All the equipable magic items are used.If two rares are dropped for the same equipment slot,for example 2 rare shields are dropped,one is identified and equipped.The second is then identified replacing the first.The used item is then sold.

Items should be identified as quickly as possible.

*Multiplayer

Alternating Boss drops with other players can work well.
