Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
Wow...this thread was down on page nine...no wonder people can't find it, LOL
Been working on some of the weirdness of 1.07 crafting, and have gained a lot of insight into whats going on...I'll post details once I test a few more things. I have a couple questions for the 1.07 players, especially those who have done extensive crafting:
1) Has anyone ever crafted (or heard of anyone crafting) bugged blood (i.e. LifeLeech >6%) belts, boots, or body armor?
2) Other than the recipies that explicitly put sockets in items, has anyone cubed (3 Pgem reroll, 6 Pskull rare reroll, or crafted) an item that innately had sockets? I can't recall ever crafting anything that spawned with sockets, and
every time I get a socket affix in a cube reroll, it doesn't have any sockets!!
@thefranklin: a while back, we were discussing poison damage bows for twinking in one of RobbyD's threads, and I suggested a Prefix 1232(Corrosive) Hunter or Composite bow of Pestilence that got 4 sox from Larzuk and calculated the damage as follows:Corrosive [150 bite - 50 frame] / of Pestilence [32-72 bite - 100 frame] / 4xPEmerald [300 bite - 25 frame] each, so
(150+32+4*300=) 1382 * (50+100+4*25=) 250 = 345500 bite damage / 256 = 1349 min poison damage
(150+72+4*300=) 1422 * (50+100+4*25=) 250 = 355500 bite damage / 256 = 1388 max poison damage
1349 - 1388 poison damage over 10 seconds
Since then, I've been looking for such a bow myself...found a couple (one razor bow, one short war bow) but neither got 4 sox
I did find another item that got Corrosive/of Pestilence and it DID get 4 sox, so I thought I would post
this as a nice illustration of a)how poison damage stacks in 1.07, b)that it indeed works on melee wpns as well as ranged, and c)that I actually calculated the poison damage correctly (woot) I'm still looking for the hunter's bow though, that will be an AWESOME lvl18 twinking wpn!!
@Fabian: I finally got an Aegis rack, and Aegis can only get 3 sockets...still not sure about Wards, but I'm thinking they will only get 3 as well, making pally sheilds the only 4sox sheilds in 1.07. Also, I have discovered that Blade Barriers and Troll Nests
cannot get sockets in 1.07.
@Zoo: sorry, missed your inquiry a couple months ago - No, the Angelic is not the first set ammy I cubed w/the prismatic formula...I actually got Vidala's ammy the 13th time I tried the formula (I remember because, you know, 13... unlucky... cubed a set... LOL) I've also cubed a Tancred's ammy, no uniques yet tho...
