IAS armor

I am planning on making an ias armor for my hybrid strafe/LF ,so she can reach to 9/2 strafe bp. She is currently wearing a 35/13 def935 vipermagi socketed /w 15ias jewel (total ias=95).

windforce shealed==40
Groves==========20
vipermagi/15ias====15
highlord==========20
------------------------
95

I currently have the follow

15ias/26cr
15ias/30lr
15ias/29pr
15ias/27fr
4s wire freece 15ed def554
4s Archron plate ed8 def567

and some other not worth mention.

Of course the ideal case would be ias/ed40 and ias/15all res, but finding those jewel would be too difficult. And they are not easy to trade for too.

Any other combination suggested?
 
Heres My setup

Andys with 15ias (35)
Loh (20)
Lionheart (for huge life bonus instead of shako)
Wf with 15ias 18ed (35)
Highlords (20)
Razortail (10)
= 120ias

Hits 9/2 strafe exactly

When i'm doing cows (for charms & sock items) switch to titans+ss, change razortail with tgods, change loh with +3 jav skill gloves (no ias so very cheap!) i still hit the 52ias bp with titans with just andys and highlords (55ias).

I think your setup is great idea! :clap: since bowazons lack resis and like you said 15ias/15res jewels would cost too much and ias/ed would also be a waste since the ed isn't multiplied by skills. Of course COH would be great but i'm guessing your like me and not that rich :lol: Where did you happen to find all those jewels?
 
Btw i think that wire fleece would be worth quite a bit with the 15ed, might find someone needing it for a bramble or COH. If i were you i'd consider selling it if you could find someone who'd pay nicely for it.

Just a thought

I am not really get the idea that what ed isn't multiplied by skills. All I know is there is a bug when socket ed/max jewel on armor, the ed part won't work. Nerver heard of any "malfunction" of ed/ias jewel on armor yet.
 
Wow ohm for that armour! i would have sold it for sure :lol: Its not a bug, it's just that it won't get the enhanced damage from strafe. The ed from jewels only gets enhanced from skills when it's in the weapon. I really find it amazing how much socketed stuff goes for these days. Especially 4 socket flails for HOTO, which i see people sell for pul sometimes! I'm sure if you did 1 cow run in normal i'm sure you'd find one :lol:

Got a new 15ias/30cr jewel by trade recently.

Btw, what should I socket with if I get a ias/39ed (ias/ed40 just too rare and ridiculous expensive), the armor or winforce? I heard they are two different calculation.

IAS/30ed on armor will benfit both bow mod and javlin mod though, but I heard put it on windforce will got a high damage output.
 
Hi Panzer_Erwin,

You did not mention about your build very clearly so I can't be sure if your zon is a hybrid bow/jav build (becos if you do use an SS, chances are fufilling the STR requirements will give more leeway to other gears). Henceforth, I'll give my suggestion based on the assumption that WF is the main gear that is fixed in the combination and that your STR will be approx. 134.

First off, ED jewels are always better off on the weapon itself if you can choose to; since ED% on any other part of your gears are calculated in the same way as how ED% from skills affect your damage. ED% on weapons, on the other hand, is applied to the base weapon damage.

Back to the combination... I observed you did not mention if you're gonna socket your helm with IAS so I'm assuming it's still socketable (unless you use a runeword such as "Delirium").

Here's my suggested combo (little focus on +skills):
Helm - Mavina's Diadem w/ 15IAS jewel (Total IAS: 45)
Armor - Natalya's Armor w/ 3x 15IAS/XX Any Resis jewels (Total IAS: 45. This is a heavy armor, requiring 149 STR, and it does penalise your FRW and stamina. However, it has 25%PR, 75% Poison Length Reduction, +Life based on char level, 3 sockets and 600+ defense.)
Gloves - Any 20IAS gloves (Total IAS: 20)
Weapon - WindForce w/o sockets (Total IAS:20)

Total IAS with listed gears: 130IAS

*Parts that are not mentioned above are changeable to your liking.

I have tried something similar to this but more for +skills purpose. I'm also using a faster bow so I have less problems with IAS (was using previously Lycander's Aim which requires the same amount of IAS to reach 9/2 strafing). My gears for Hybrid Bow/Jav zon:
Helm - Rare Coronet (+2 Amazon Skills, 20FRW, 7%ML, +33 Mana, 20+%LR) w/ 15IAS/7AllResis jewel (Total IAS: 15)
Armor - Grizworld's Armor w/ 3x 15IAS jewels (Total IAS: 45)
Gloves - Rare Gloves (+2 Javelin Skills, 20IAS, 3%ML, 20+%CR, and other mods) (Total IAS: 20)
Weapon - Blood Raven's Charge

Total IAS: 80, Total Required: 60

I'm considering to use Natalya's Armor myself becos of the resistances and +life. However, Grizworld's just looks cooler! :)
 
My amazon is a lv92 LF/Strafe Hybrid. Major Skills are LF 20, Charged strike 20, Strafe 20, valkyrie(17/w +skills).

--------
Griffon eye 19/13 /w 5/5 die facet
Vipermagi 35/13 upgraded /w ias/20fr
Titian 195/9
Stormshield um-ed(quest)/Monarch /w 4 facet (over4 people cow level)
windforce 8leech shael-ed
razertail(cow level and most of the time)/Tgod (baal)
rare groves (20ias, 2 javlin-skill,17fr)
raven frost
Dual leech 8Life/6mana
cateye/highlord
war traveler


You can see I mostly on javlin mod for the killing speed, while switch to bow when facing many lightning immue. One of the most regret of this build is the total ias =95. That urge me decided to make an ias armor. Switch the ias armor with vipermagi I can reach 140ias, that I have more rooms for other change(ie. un-shael windforce and put ias/ed on it).


Bridfoot, concerning you armor choice of Natalya's Armor , as I remember isn't it 2 sockets? I should go to arreat guide to have a check .
I think I will go to trade a 15ed archron armor, it is about 603 defence and the look is not too bad.


For the Mavina's Diadem w/ 15IAS jewel , I did have that thing on my amazon for some time. Its 45ias is just good but griffon eye are just too COOL,so I rather find some other ias source.

Razortail does not have 10 IAS on it so you are NOT getting a 9/2 strafe with the listed equipment. Try substituting a Goldwrap or Nosterfaru for the Razortail and you'll get 120 IAS.

Hi Panzer,

Okies, I guess Griffon's worth giving up Mavina's for. :) As for Natalya's Armor, it varies between 1~3 sockets and looks pretty cool (all black) almost like a shaftstop.

Regarding your combo, I'd advise you use Natalya's Armor then (although people will disagree with me due to the speed penalty) as it really shines when you socket with your IAS/Resis jewels. You will also be able to get 120IAS for 9/2 strafing (after you IAS/ED'ed your WF) as compared to 140IAS, which will be wasting the additional 20IAS (unless of cos you're pondering about using another amulet instead of Cat's Eye/Highlord's or other gloves). If you have a Nat's Armor, I suggest that you slap it on and try running around to see if it's slowing you down. If you're comfortable with it, you may wish to consider my suggestion below. :)

IAS Composition as follows:
Armor - Nat's Armor w/ 3x 15IAS/Resis (Total: 45)
Gloves - Rare Gloves (Total: 20)
Weapon - WF w/ 15IAS/??ED (Total: 35)
Amulet - Cat's Eye/Highlord's (Total: 20)

Total IAS: 120

If I had a 4-socket Superior Archon Plate, I guess I'll use it for CoH instead. :)

If you really wanna use a 4 socket Archon, my advise would be to try and get a Jeweller's Archon Plate of the Whale instead. It should have less defense than a Superior Archon Plate but it adds alot of life and has 4 sockets!!!

Just my 2 cents. :)
 
Panzer, are you on East? I've been lookin for a ias jewel with 25+ fire resist (for my assassin's Andy Visage) FOREVER, and I'll trade well for yours, if you're willing.
 
if you have the time, try and shop for a 4 socket armour with +life. The archon/wirefleece are nice, but nothing special and imho better used for chars that need def, and/or runewords. A magical 4 socket armour with a boost to life will be a better base armour imo, even if it has much lower defence.

(my strafer has 140/60 legit made on L wirefleece +88 life, and the life boost makes a nice difference)

1.10 Nat's armor can have from 1 to 3 sockets.
