I've got a question for you guys. Who of you actively use items that aren't +Move or +Armour?

I don't mean trying out here and there (or collecting for cheevos), I mean insta-grabbing anything else. I'm quite curious?
I'm probably typing this on my phone. Sorry if it seems short or disjointed :(

I really like the plus projectile life loot a lot. If I have an ammo hungry class loaded I like the stuff that gives a boost to your ammo capacity too. Health boost and jump boost stuff is a good thing too.

I forgot to mention the +projectile life add +ammo items, sorry -___-

The point I'm trying to make it is who actively uses 'compromised' items, compared to the 'boring, no compromise' items?

Wouldn't it be better if we had even more options for interesting 'no compromise' items, or 'compromised' items with interesting flaws (the I'm on fire! items come to mind)?

Situationally I'll give up a bit of life for extra spell power. Especially if I have an extra heart perk going.

For 0.729:

** Jump Height
** Movement Speed
** Outgoing Damage
** Shot Time-To-Live
** Max Health
** Max Ammo

Thanks :)
