Fact is there are some slots without much completion. HGL’s are 5k on blue, what’s the alternarive in that EC/LR range that’s even close? A pearly bauble with half the hps?

People with bags of BiS to swap around aren’t less lazy. They just have more stuff.

As I stated earlier:

Remember that many people use HP/STA earrings already, so the HP gains from 2x loops aren't as big as you think.

Lets compare 2x Hammered Golden Loop to Pearly Sarnak Bauble + Earring of Essence:

1. 150 HP, 16 STA, -30 AC, and 10 MR
2. 65 HP, 10 STA, 2 AC, and 10 MR

You are trading 32 AC for 85 HP and 6 STA. A 60 Warrior that isn't STA capped would be getting 121 HP at best. So you are trading 32 AC (a breastplate's worth of AC) for 121 Max HP, which is a little less than 1 max hit from a mob.
