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

1.08 Sur \o/

Screenshot005.jpg
Were I ten years younger with same spare time this would have been beta Bramble. It's still amazing drop, but my eyes are now only for Archon Staves. Funny how 10 years ago I would have scuffed at the ideas of completing grail, or getting a single useless unique item compared to this Sur, which is objectively best drop in this patch. I guess people change over time :)

But yeah, funny patch this 1.08. Small collection of 1.08 HLWs, all pentagram style which is super annoying.

Just started a new untwinked Sorc for the hundreds time... She is lvl 72, went full Nova so far and decided to do 10x p3 NM Mephisto runs before starting hell.

Resulting in 34 SotV, Trangs Gloves and this beauty (2nd skiller overall with her):

What a nice surprise! Orignally I wanted to stay Nova for Hell countess and then go Meteor/Blizzard for the rest of Hell. However now I might see this as a sign and try staying Lightning instead. ;)

I believe we're all very jealous of that amazing D.F., @McGruber08! Well earned Cham, too.

My GoMule "gravel pile" stash just received this nice smooth stone, courtesy of my "rapid trapper" assassin:

Thanks! I'm debating using the CHAM on a Metamorphosis rune word for fury druid. Anyone compared it with Jalal's in gameplay?
I have yet to use the death's fathom. I am waiting for my barbarian to get to act 5 so I can socket it with an IST.
 
How's everyone doing? It's been awhile since I inhabited these parts ... I still do a few runs here and there. Made a Demon Machine Enchant Sorc as my last char and have been blasting away with her.

She's pretty darn powerful and she's not totally pimped out (so to speak) ... but the funny thing is (and this may be just psychology) I rarely find anything good with her. Her MF is a paltry 123% but I pretty much play players8 ... haven't dropped much.

I'm even thinking of just swapping out her Vipermagi and sacrifice the resists and slap that Enigma back in for the MF ... maybe I should do just that.

Anyways, from time to time I pick up some claw bases to see if I can find some decent ones for Mosaic. I've yet to make a Mosaic Assassin as I find the whole concept a little ... intimidating. But sometimes you just have to jump in head first.

I found these two bases recently and wondered if I should wait for better ones. I've read that it really doesn't matter that much for Mosaic as it's so destructive in itself.

Not super exciting ... but it's 3 sockets and the runes needed aren't exactly in short supply for me (or anyone really) MalGulAmn?
 
+3 Phoenix Strike is nice but certainly not required. You will kill nicely even without any skillers or bonuses on the claws. Just go for it.
 
You most certainly aren't. Also I'm getting one up on you because aside from killing them with barbarian, I'm actually horking the entire cow level :P

But yeah, Cows granted second 1.08 Eaglehorn. Nothing noteworthy about the drop except that it doesn't exist in 1.07 so it's actually rather rare.

As some of you may have noticed, the 1.08 scene has been revitalized by the new 'Dance of the Willow-Wisp' MF buff :)

Due to the 'mechanics' of 1.08, several items have been damn near unnattainable...until now.

At long last we are able to achieve the 102,000 MF (rofl) needed to 'force' uniques in 1.08...

At long last we have been able to isolate the monsters guarding our ancient treasures...

At long last ...
