Awww...I missed you too, D2 - Item Find Thread April 2019

Back at the Travincal for a day and already they deliver:

Add to that my first 65 Life WWs:

Waterwalk
Sharkskin Boots
Defense: 117
Durability: 10 of 14
Required Level: 32
Required Strength: 47
Fingerprint: 0x39647e31

+20% Faster Run/Walk
+194% Enhanced Defense
+100 Defense vs. Missile
+15 to Dexterity
+65 to Life

I also crafted 40 Amulets and 60 rings with at least one game changer:
Code:
Stone Eye
Amulet
Required Level: 89

Item Level: 93
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+2 to Amazon Skill Levels
+19% Faster Cast Rate
+2 to Dexterity
+18 to Mana

Add to that about 400Pgems spent rerolling GCs without a chance at 45 life (too lazy to run Diablo...) and you get this:
Code:

Passive 21 Life

Barb Combat
Fire 4 Strength

Grand Charm
Required Level: 37
Fingerprint: 0xfb8e5eba

After that I tried the '3 to 1' amulet and ring recipes for the first time (on a large scale) by starting with 1,2k magic rings I had gambled in the past. I used a lvl 85 character for that, so the +3 Skill prefixes would be available on the Amulets. (ilvl=[3*clvl/4]; +3 has alvl 60) The results were way better than expected even though it's mostly twinking stuff:
Code:
Freezing Amulet of the Apprentice

Agreed, sick gloves. They might not be the best fit for optimized farming chars, but for general gameplay these are incredible. I've come close with a couple of crafts only missing one leech stat and a rare pair with those stats but missing CB of course, but something like this is exactly what I'm looking for with blood craft gloves. Dual leech means pretty much free ring choice, the CB is great and the resists can be very handy depending on target. LoH are a tough benchmark for physical damage dealers, but at the very least they're great for any physical dmg char running an area with few (or no) demon class monsters. Probably their combination of stats even makes them preferable over LoH in some cases even when encountering demons from time to time.
 
Took off most all of my MF gear to run /p1 Hell Cows in the hopes of a 4os eth Balrog/CS. Found an ethereal Ginther's Rift! Is this good?

As a weapon to use? No. But you can upgrade it to a Phase Blade for the novelty :p (PBs can't be eth, you can only get eth PBs by upgrading ethereal Dimensional Blades/Crystal Swords to a PB)

Nice, but be careful where to put it into! You remember the bug regarding %ed/max (or %ed/min) jewels in armor, right?

It looks nice, but I don't see what I could do with it. :/
Me neither. I think your gloves have the wrong combination of affixes.

Most casters want FCR gloves or might be better off with Frostburs or Chanceguards. Weapon users either benefit from %ed to demons or not. Those who do are better off with LoH. Those who don't are mostly elemental bowazons or javazons, but they don't need CB, as it's halved on missiles, or PvP characters and they don't need leech. There's also the vengeance paladin, but I'm not sure if they would be more useful than Dracul's or Soul Drainer.
 
Nice Gloves. I’m using something similar but not as nice on my Amazon at the moment.

IAS and dual leech solves many problems if you play with a two handed weapon.

Yup. I Google searched this forum for information about that jewel and actually found a post from you from a long while back talking about it lol
 
Doing some normal countess runs on an untwinked Tesladin when a boss devilkin decides to drop Death's Guard. After work I finished my glove/boot gambling session and nabbed what I knew I would NOT:

(Edit: corrected source of set sash drop)
Oh!!!
I always liked that combo of Deaths belt and gloves.

The low level "cannot be frozen" partial set bonus for the belt and "30% IAS" partial set bonus on the gloves has helped me a great deal in the past on many a mule/character!

Those gloves aren't just nice. They are incredibly good !!
I second that!

Same here. Most of my melee characters use it well into their 40s, often a lot longer.

Yeah, I thought the same. If they had +2 java they'd be awesome, but like this... I think I'd rather go with LoH or 30 % 1.07 leech gloves.

First world problems!
 
@Shuffleblast Time traveling definitely changed calculus around optimization.

But in addition to the 2H builds that @maxicek noted, I can think of several Assassin builds that would enjoy those gloves (WWsin, aggressin, warrior monk).

Also melee Nihl runners (conc barb, smiter) might appreciate those mods, the barb in particular. Note to self: start crafting some gloves for my Untwinked 99er barb!
