40% IAS - Check (though irrelevant)
-25% EPR - Check
+14 Life After Each Kill - Check
+376 Damage - Uncheck

I knew I should have let @WoRG roll it. Second Grief I make, and It's no better than the first one (from 2007 that is..)
First CtA I rolled got +3 BO, back in 1.11, when runes were hard to come by. Oh well, I guess a mediocre player can't ask for more than mediocre rolls :p ...and It's in a Zweihander...shhh!...
 
Thanks!

Oddly enough only the first Sur I posted is from a LK super chest. The 2nd Sur was on a skeleton, one Vex was from a corpse and the other from a random chest on the other side of the camp fire. I mean, I'll take them where I can get them, but I wish I could find some others.

Question for anyone-does Fcr only affect blessed hammer for Pally? I mean, the strength and res on that ammy are awesome, wish it was 2 all skills but combat is still the most useful. And Fcr of course. I've made hammerdins before, I was hoping for maybe a zealer or smiter this time since I've never tried them before. What stats would an ammy need for those builds? Would the one I found work or do they not need Fcr as much?

FCR will also affect Holy Bolt and teleport. Fist of heavens too but the cooldown of the skill is much more important.

A good zeal amulet which is rare (yellow) is something with resistances, life leech and some stats like strenght, dex or just straight life

Thanks Pindle...I was kinda hoping for a Tal's Armor more...
 
So after several hundred Pindle runs...

First ever Death's Fathom that I've found. I went to town, identified it, thinking "please be 30%, PLEASE be 30%". Lo and behold...

I think I can finally classify today as a good day.
 
That is a really nice Deaths Fathom man. That Hand of Broc isn't too shabby either, as I have never found one, and from Pindle who doesn't exactly drop TC3's all that often.
 
After more Pindle runs...

The first ever CoA that I've found...once again, off to identify it and...

Ah well, can't win 'em all. Guess I used up all my luck on that Death's Fathom yesterday. Pretty low CoA, but still pretty neat to finally find one after all these years. I'll try it out on my merc, see how it works out.
 
Looks like I need to do some Pindle runs, but I notice you are running 1.13, and I am convinced the drop rates were tweaked in 1.14d for the worse.

I may try my 30 minutes of Pindle and 30 minutes of Meph alternating cycles runs. Pindle runs just about fry my brain so there has to be some breaks.
 
See I don't really bother with Meph much. I dunno what it is, I've just never had much luck with him. Never found much of anything that spectacular. Best was like...a HoZ, that's about it.

I'll do LK for runes, AT/Pit for general stuff, Pindle for the chance for high end set/unique items, and CS because they've always been my favorite runs (the enemies, setting, etc I think are really awesome). By this same token, I'm not the biggest fan of Baal runs either. I don't think I've ever once found anything worth noting from his minions and Baal himself, while he can drop anything in the game, I just never felt it was worth the effort. Plus Gloams/Dolls which are annoying. But that's me.


Thoughts on what I should put in my merc's new CoA? Kinda missing LL now, his survivability has gone up thanks to the extra res, def and DR. Gaze seems to cover most of this, except no Res. Now with a Gaze, I could at least toss an Um in there to make up for the res...can't put an Amn in a CoA for LL since that only works for weapons.
