Hmm.. would a Cruel Eth Giant Thresher with 6 open sockets be nice?

for a druid? actually can u get an eth magical item? i do not think i have seen any o.o anyway.. if all the above is true.. would a Cruel with (300ed.. wats the max ed on a cruel weapon anyway) Eth Giant Thresher of Quickness or the Bearwith 6 open sockets with all 40/15s and a self repairing mod?

Base dmg: 60-171 rite?
ED: 540 ed
IAS: 90 IAS (or 130IAS for Quickness)
Self repair
Knockback (if for Bear)
Ethereal

Hmm.. dunt make fun of me if i get this all wrong :P would this be cool on a ww fury druid? :P or is this impossible
:flip:

you cant get 6 sockets in a magic item (2 sockets max)
300% ed is the max for magic weapons, 450% ed for rares and 510%ed for crafted
getting six 40/15 would take a long time (unless they're duped)
 
or u can change the whole idea of the Giant Thresher to a slower War Pike, Glorios Axe or a Thunder Maul.. hmm pretty cool.. :P

While on the subject of fictive weapons, why don´t make it of quickness :lol:

Only way you can get 6 sockets is if the weapon is normal (not rare/magic max on those are 2 sockets)
you could in theory get a really good rare one though
cruel 300ed
masters 150ed (and some ar)
mechanics (2 sockets)
quickness 40 ias
and two other suffixes of your chioce, if ethereal one should be self repair of cause.

A weapon like this would be pretty nice for a fury druid
All weapons can be ethereal except set items or items with the ages mod (exception is a few 1.10 uniques)

ethereal is not an affix, it's just a property

phase blades cant be ethereal either, and IIRC the "ages" can spawn in ethereal magical items

oh alrite then.. so a 510% ed with one 40/15 Eth Thunder Maul would still be nice i think o.o
 
Well I know ethereal isn´t a suffix what I wrote was that if the weapon is ethereal one of the suffixes should be selfrepair ;) (hehe I see it now I wrote ethereal where i was supposed to write self repair)

You are right about the phaseblade it has sort of an build in ages mod. And as I recall of ages can´t spawn on ethereal weapons.

In theory a phaseblade can be ethereal though if it is upgraded from dimensional or crystal sword. But then it wasn´t a phase to begin with so a little tricky.

Phases can be ethereal if an ethereal dimentional blade is upgraded. People were talking about it in the druid chan on us east because some guy upgraded a rare ethereal dimentional blade that had insane ed and ias with 2 sockets and some people saw it and were trying to trade for it lol.

edit: holy crap! lol playing with some numbers here...

31-35 base dmg x1.5 for ethereal = 46-52 base. Then i believe teh ed was 400%+ so just using 400 i get 232-262, then add the IAS and 2 sockets and you have one hell of a phase blade!!!!

with 450%ed he'd have 255-288...
 
yea you can get an eth pb ... i got a rare one 295 ed ... fools mod .... 10 ias .. other mods .... only one socket though :rant: . Its nice for what it is though.
 
well, maybe I'm mistaken in the ethereal "of ages" mod, but a phase blade can't spawn ethereal. The only way to get one is upgrading a crystal/dimensinal sword (as have been posted here already :))
@voice thats a very nice weapon! :thumbsup:

510% ed is only possible in crafted weapons, and crafted weapons cant be ethereal
your best bet would be a
300%ed + fool's (or 450%ed)
150AR
40 IAS
2 sockets
self-repairing ethereal weapon
(you can add another affix, but I think that it's rare enough as it is :lol: )

isnt it still possible to get a 3socket magical one with the cube recipie (3chippeds + weapon = weapon with 3 sockets and new stats), or am i wrong?

thats old school recipe. (1.09) and it was only for swords.
 
Hmm, or if you have godly rare item, but only has 1 socket you can add second one by this (2 sockets is max):

3 Perfect Skulls + 1 Rare Item + Stone of Jordan = Add 1 Socket To a Rare Item

expensive though
 
Old school 1.09:

Robo Great Poleaxe

6 Socketed eth GP

Shael, Zod, 4x40/15

Used to have one. They were great for druids and WW Titan barbs.

you can't add a socket to an already socketed rare. That recipe works for non-socketed rares

sure?

quote from arreat summit:
3 Perfect Skulls + 1 Rare Item + Stone of Jordan = Add 1 Socket To a Rare Item
Rare Items can only have two sockets. You cannot add sockets to items that don't normally have sockets.

So why is there marked, that rare items can have only two sockets, while this recipe adds 1 socket. Also with other recipes there are written that the item must be unsocketed (armors for example), but there isn´t.

Does anyone know, what´s right?

Actually, the max number of sockets possible on such a weapon would be 4. However, to get this, you'd have to give up all the % ed. So a few possibilities would be:

Magic:
Eth Cruel Giant Thresher of Fast-Repair (repairs quantity, 300% ed)
Eth Cruel Giant Thresher of the Ages (equivalent to above)
Eth Cruel Giant Thresher of Quickness (good IAS, but you'd have to zod it)
Eth Jeweler's Giant Thresher of Repair/Ages/Quickness/Evisceration (not worth it, since you can't make up the loss of %ed with jewels)

Any of the first three can get 2 sockets from the quest reward, if you're lucky, so you could theoretically increase to 380% ed. You're a lot better off going with a rare... you only get 2 sockets max, but they can be ethereal. The ultimate polearm then would probably be:

Eth Cruel/Master's/Mehanic's Giant Thresher of Fast-Repair/Quickness/whatever (probably Slaughter)

This would give 450% ed, 2 sockets, +250 AR, self-repairing, a lot of IAS, and +20 max damage. Theoretically such a weapon could go up to 530% ed with the right jewels. As you can see, this clearly beats the best magic polearm you could get. Good luck ever seeing ANYTHING that approaches this however....

@Criku: you can't add more than one socket to a rare item, period. If the item inherently came with 2 sockets (Mechanic's prefix), then it will have 2, but if it has none to begin with, the most you can give it is one. This can be done through the cube recipe you mentioned, or with the socket quest reward. You can't add more than one, and if you tried, I imagine the game would take the items for the formula and do nothing. The same would probably happen if you tried to use the quest reward to do it. Larzuk would give you the item back unchanged and happily count the reward as given.
 
Most of those weapons suggested are rather bad as they don't reach 4fpa fury. The phase with 70 ias does, and i believe giant threshers or something reach 4fpa with 80 ias? All in all i say an ethereal tomb reaver zod/edias/edias is a pretty amazing weapon.
 
thats a nice 5fpa weapon

gts need 70 ias i believe

i have a cgtoq 2 shael, but 2 ed/ias is also 4fpa
