all the time, i care more about my characters appearance than the DPS of their weapons... i power level, so usually by the time i get new weapons, armor, or equipment, if it's fugly i won't use it, it's not like the extra dmg makes a difference when i'm one hit killing everything i encounter anyway... my leveling rule is simple; i don't leave an area until i can one hit kill everything there, then i can move on...
