Ah, the Fine prefix. Is that any good? I have never bothered with those, the bonuses just seem so tiny, even if you have a couple of them. If it were +50 max. damage and +500 AR, then they could be worth an inventory space for me...

I´ll take a (resist prefix) Small Charm of Vita instead.

The bonuses add up very quickly, the dmg and AR gets multiplied by skill eds so they're very nice on most any melee car that has a lot on skill based ed.
 
Is that a Godly Archon Plate of Stability? How do you get so high FHR? Reward-socketed with Shael runes?

Jeweler's of stability with 4 40%ED 7FHR jewels. Only way it's possible. Quite an amazing armor for builds that doesn't need off-weapon IAS



 
It's the only way to get that much on a magical item, but the Stone runeword offers more fhr and more %def, as well as a lot of other interesting mods. Bramble and (to a lesser extent) Duress come close as well.

It has more style on a magical item, but I wouldn't say that it rocks enough to justify not wearing a runeword instead.
 
If you're playing SP and 100% legit/puritanical/non-muling or something, then shopping for that armor and then running for those jewels (not necessarily perfect ones) might be easier than obtaining the runes for bramble. The runes for stone should be much easier to get, but some play earlier patches where no such runeword exist, but these jewels and this armor does.
 
In 1.07 you could get anything between 1-4 sockets on a magical item from larzuk, meaning you could shop Godly Archon Plate of Stability and then get 4 sox from the quest. Pretty cool :prop:
 
Cool thread! This is probably the best of my meager collection. All self-found.

I gotta go play 1.07 :shocked:

IIRC there were some insane damage charms too.

Shopping a godly archon of stability/whale/(whatever integer DR available) then getting 4 from larzuk would be crazy.
Even some lower lvl stuff would be sweet.
Arch-Angel's tiara of the Magus 3sox :D

@Krischan and jiasonz: The 160/52 armor is damage, not defense, thus stone isn't really an option. I only now realized that you probably misunderstood 160% damage for 160% defense.

Ah, I see. Appreviations can be good, but also cause a lot of confusion.
(Also, the fact that I have never seen even a plain 40% Enhanced Damage jewel probably prevented my from thinking in that direction).


@Insane Wayne: that Valkyrie´s Amulet of Luck is yummy! :thumbsup:



I have to show off this beauty:
Jill's Garnet Sacred Globe, socketed with a Jacinth Jewel of Passion: +9 Life, +15 Mana, Resist Fire 27, +2 Glacial Spike, +1 Teleport, +1 Shiver Armor

Why is that any good? It´s because it´s used by a sorceress who is only allowed to put points in Warmth and the Masteries. I managed to cube an orb with just about the three most useful staffmods possible, and get some other goodies on it as well.

Hmm, yes, I could have noticed that myself :rolleyes:

Up to 40 max damage on a grand charm.

Also, circlet type armours only get 1 socket max in 1.07 IIRC.



 
My (mostly untwinked - just restarted) HC BlizzBaller loves these...

Ocher Gothic Plate of the Whale

Yes, an elite leather/light plate-type would be better, but I have recently had much trouble surviving long enough in Hell to shop them.

Not the godliest blues, to be sure, but very useful. The previous incarnation of the BB'er had a 97 life / 12 LR belt. I feel I've been lucky with the shopping, though not the living...

PS - Still hoping to shop what I consider to be the ultimate blue - Jeweler's Light Armor of the Whale.
