Well, the first major crafting spree of my D2 career has yielded some decent results. Nothing jaw dropping, but good enough to make me really want to start hoarding Caster materials.
My new cow killer Javazon was having mana problems. I've purposefully
not utilized 'Insight' on the merc because I don't want to depend on the Meditation. Maintaining max IAS breakpoints, and trying to maintain a decent MF%, I felt I wanted to stay away from leech, as each gear slot that can provide mana leech has other priorities. So, here's what I ended up with:
Code:
Wraith Claw
Leather Gloves
Defense: 5
Durability: 7 of 12
Required Level: 57
Fingerprint: 0x51709ff
Item Level: 77

Carrion Touch

Durability: 6 of 12
Required Level: 59

Hailstone Hold
Demonhide Gloves
Defense: 35
Durability: 8 of 12
Required Level: 57
Required Strength: 20
Fingerprint: 0xd3c0cae0
Item Level: 74
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+2 to Passive and Magic Skills (Amazon Only)
+20% Increased Attack Speed
+2 to Dexterity
+17 to Mana

Fire Resist +17%
+1 to Mana after each Kill
Like I said, nothing spectacular, but the results are promising to me. I really feel that I can hit that fabled +2 Javelin, 20% IAS, stats/MF/etc that would totally take an overpowered build to the next level. I'm starting to really like +2 Passives, however, as it might open the belt slot by dropping the Razortail. Anyway, off to farm more cows!
Thanks for looking!
