Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
I'm kinda new to 1.07. But, here is where I'm at: got my orb/static sorc on hell (lvl 60) running blood raven. I'm looking for options to try to reach the 556 breakpoint. Right now I've only got ~50% on both helms (merc and myself) and I'm only wearing 3os light plate. So, I could upgrade those with Ptopazes, but I'd like to avoid the STR investment to equip Gothic Plate if at all possible..
Any suggestions on good (easy to find/I just started 1.07) gear? Chance Guards and Goldwrap would help, but I haven't found many uniques yet. Does wearing the Angelic Gear (Sickle/Wings/2 x Halo) net you the 50% bonus twice?
I'm currently using:
Vidala's Snare/Fetlock combo - 50%
Heavy Gloves of Fortune - 25%
Ring of Chance - 15%
Ring of Chance - 14%
3 x Ptopaz Light Plate - 72%
Circlet of Luck - 47%
Milabrega's Orb - 20%
Merc:
4 x Ptopaz Gothic Plate - 96%
Coronet of Luck - 53%
Total MF = 392% (I believe I end up about 450% if I swap out for the Angelic Gear and some 35% boots)
Please help me reach 556%... I think I've found just about enough of Sigon's set. :laugh:
The most elegant way (IMHO) is
Helm: PTopaz shako/2xPTopaz Griz helm (74-78MF)
Armor: Tals (PTopaz) (112MF) (alternatively, you could use Skulders)
Ammy: Tals (65 partial set bonus) (alternatively, you could use a magic/rare or tancreds+another piece of the set)
Belt: Tals (15MF) (alternatively, you could use goldwrap)
Boots: War Travs (45MF)
Shield: Milbregas (20MF)
Merc
Helm: PTopaz shako/2xPTopaz Griz helm (74-78MF)
Armor: Skulders (PTopaz) Depends on level
Use gloves, charms and rings to make up the rest depending on what you've got. This method nicely leaves your weapon free for +skills etc. Of course, if you have a gull you could change your other gear appropriately. Alternatively, if you have Tal's Orb, you could use that to get the set bonus and swap out the ammy or belt for more benficial items.
A more ghetto way (and the way I am currently doing it) is:
Helm: 3xPTopaz helm (72MF)
Armor: 4xPTopaz armor (96MF)
Ammy: Tancreds (78MF partial set bonus)
Weapon: Tancreds
Shield: Milbreagas (20MF)
Rare gloves: 25MF
Boots: War Travs 45MF
Merc
Helm: 3xPTopaz helm (72MF)
Armor: 4xPTopaz armor (96MF)
This gives you 504%MF leaving you needing 52% from charms/belts/rings/merc weapon/shield. If you don't have war travs, you can buy 35% boots of luck. If you don't have tancreds ammy, then you can get magic ammys up to 50% (although good luck getting both the prefix and suffix necessary for this!).
If you want to stick with your 3 socket light plate, you'd need 76% from charms/belts/rings/merc weapon/shield which is quite doable, but personally I'd rather spend the points in str and get a 4 soc armor/skulders/tals.
Edit: I'm not sure about the angelic combo, it could work, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the set angelic MF bonus isn't applied properly (although it was some time ago and I can't remember where I read it, so it could just be my memory playing tricks on me). It should be easy to test though - get 30%MF from elsewhere, put on your two angelic rings and sword and see what NM bosses drop. If its all sets and above then they do work properly.
