    Nothing wrong with filling in your gaps in ancient gear with str or dex items until you find the ones you actually want. They had plenty of damage.

    I was ticked off that they didn't have the passive on that reduces cooldown, could have been much faster if I could throw down more piranhados and spirit walk after every pack, but I'm most perplexed by having a 101 stricken in the amulet and an empty socket in 1 ring.

    I have a suspicion that the empty slots are a byproduct of the Armory. If you have a gem socketed into armor on another character (rather than in their inventory or your stash) and you don't have a substitute for that gem available when you go to re-equip on your main, it's pretty easy to wind up with the wrong or no gem in a socket.

    Would this have happened when the system grabbed the build and run or would this have been the human's error? Just curious.

    The latter, most likely. We do have filters applied when grabbing to filter out egregious situations (like a Monk wearing all Shadow's Mantle, as an example), but one-off pieces like this in a LoN set are understandable, so there is some leniency too.
