A Breath of Fresh Air ... A New Item Find Thread

No HRs, still cooling off from my hot streak the other week, but got this looker from LK last night

I am rolling in druid skillers this time around. 5 Elemental, 3 Shapeshift, 1 Summoning. No complaints from my windy. I haven't made a Shapeshifting druid in years, might be about time...

Coreytrevor the Hunter and his pack of wild doggos just hit level 70 and crafted this prize:

Currently has a 31ED/5Min jewel, base ED 240 so not perf but considering the wide variance in rolls a pretty solid specimen overall. I am thinking about pushing for that last breakpoint at 175% IAS.

Sheal in the bow + Andy or Stealskull w15ias would get me there, and I've got a 50mf stealskull kicking around

Andy is a solid choice but it's ugly AF

I also have 3 Gris hats rotting in stash and I could fill one with 15ias jewels but it has no other appealing stats for this guy

The coolest option would be a kickass 2os +5 or +6 summons pelt but that will only ever drop in my dreams

Untwinked? Great find regardless, but spectacular for untwinked!
 
Finding forgotten stuff in GoMule stashes counts as well, right?

So I started a wind druid. He has maximum resists from gear, so what to socket it with? He has to come pretty close to the enemy to provide a decent chance to hit with tornados, so a Cham rune might be an option. However, apart from +5 tornado, it's not that great, so should that Cham rune better go into his Vipermagi? With HotO, Viper, 33% Spirit, Magefists, Arach and two FCR rings, he will reach the final 163% fcr breakpoint as soon as he's L80 and I also have a few +druid/elemental amulets with fcr, so I could as well replace one ring with a Ravenfrost (which doesn't offer anything but cold absorb and a bit mana beyond CBF). Decisions, decisions...

My problem with the wind druid is that aiming with tornados is pretty unreliable which frustrates me, so I'm reluctant to invest a Cham rune into him. I'm usually shortly behind my minions, targeting a point behind the monsters and move the mouse pointer back and forth until I find a sweet spot, but with a bit bad luck, a pack of nasty monsters will kill him before... like 5 minutes ago when I entered hell WSK and two frenzytaur bosses (one with fanaticism and one extra fast IIRC) and a succubus boss ganged up on me. Fanaticism frenzytaurs aren't fun, in particular when being amped. The minions were dead after three seconds, the merc after five (the bear survived). I barely escaped through a town portal and tried again with fresh summons and the merc resurrected, but I was too busy to make another TP before dying, so I pressed alt-F4 in frustration. Maybe I could have bypassed them with my teleport staff, but that didn't come to my mind at that moment. Enough for today, I guess...

Edit: GoMule, not ATMA.

Aim tornadoes by clicking way past the target, but still in a straight line.

Going without enigma might be fun, but with enigma I think most people just telestomp everything and stunlock it.
 
I spent an hour with Terrorized Andariel last night. First time in a while that Catacombs were TZ at a time that I wasn’t busy or sleeping 😂 She was feeling generous with the elite uniques!

It was a hot start with Stormspire, Crown of Ages, Windhammer, and Giant Skull falling quite early in the hour.

This got my hopes up that this would be my lucky day for Death's Fathom.

Then there was a bit of a lull with fewer exciting drops. I had two chances at a BKWB but got Dwarf Star and Nagelring instead.

Then there was this nifty drop with two unique claws. The Firelizard's Talon didn't get great rolls, but it was ethereal, so I thought that was cool.

My optimism for Death's Fathom was reducing by the minute... and then in the final ten minutes of the hour..! 👀 🤩

The rolls were less than stellar but I was still hyped for it! Cross that one off the list. Now I need to work on re-tooling my Blizzard Sorc :unsure:
