The New Item Find Thread - 01/12/2005

[FodderCannoned]

In v1.11, if you socket an ethereal armor (any armor that can get sockets, so helm/shield/body armor) with the cube recipe:



Then the etheral property is applied to the base item twice over, thus resulting in uber defense. Supposedly the max amount of def for an armor (with a perfect 15% sup eth Sacred Armor) is something like 5.6k.

you cant use the cube recipe on superior items.

That's correct.

If you don't mind my asking, do you remember what the base stats on the shield were? Also, why didn't you use a superior type shield?

Exile
Sacred Targe
'VexOhmIstDol'
Defense: 588
Chance to Block: 50%
Durability: 11 of 11
(Paladin Only)
Required Strength: 76
Required Level: 57
Item Version: Expansion (from v1.07)
Item Level: 87
Fingerprint: 0x293248f
+225% Enhanced Defense
+50% Enhanced Defense (This is the bonus for being ethereal. I was told that ethereal things in v1.07 showed this mod, it was in later patches that this was made "hidden.")
Ethereal (Cannot be Repaired), Socketed (4: 4 used)


The original shield was this...

Sacred Targe
Defense: 235
Chance to Block: 50%
Durability: 11 of 11
(Paladin Only)
Required Strength: 76
Required Level: 47
Item Version: Expansion
Item Level: 87
Fingerprint: 0x293248f
+50% Enhanced Defense
All Resistances +42
Ethereal (Cannot be Repaired), Socketed (4: 0 used)


As for not using a Superior Ethereal one... I think I'm lucky enough that I was able to trade for this one. This type of shield was part of my ISO post (not here) for the past 3 or 4 months, I've waited long enough to complain about it not being Superior.

My problem now is the low blocking.
Even with slvl14 Holy Shield, the block is only ~50% (iirc).
My Zealot is already clvl90, with only a few more stat points (10, iirc) to distribute. I don't know how I can reach the max block... Oh well, my chance to get hit is ~10% so that most likely will compensate.

Then the etheral property is applied to the base item twice over, thus resulting in uber defense. Supposedly the max amount of def for an armor (with a perfect 15% sup eth Sacred Armor) is something like 5.6k.

crg

The correct math would be a perfect 900 def eth sacred armor, socketed with the cube recipe, then made into a stone runeword with a perfect 290% enhanced defense. Thus: 600 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 3.9 = 5265 def. These numbers represent a perfect 600 def sacred, times the eth bonus, times the eth bonus again (from the cube recipe bug) times the 290% def bonus from stone. A perfect 15% superior eth wouldn't work in the cube recipe, so the max defense on that would be much lower.
The max def for an exile shield would be a perfect eth vortex shield with a perfect def roll for exile. The math: 225 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 3.6 = 1818 def. Note this might be off a little, as I rounded down after multiplying the first 1.5 and the second 1.5, which is how I believe D2 does it. But, I could be mistaken. If D2 does not round down it could possibly be 1823 max. Either way, it's an insanely high number for a shield. This also does not take into consideration the defiance bonus present on the shield. Uber defense indeed!

Edit:
Just in case anyone is looking for the ultimate vortex...a pefect eth would be 225 * 1.5 = 337 (rounded down).
The pefect eth sacred is of course 900 def. (600 * 1.5)

Gib!

edit: @tulips: Templars is so rediculuous that you should just make a special build just for it. Although I really don't know what. Maybe a pump defiance and holy shield and walk around with 30k defense.

[omgwtfbbqpwned]

Templar's Might is one of those silly Armours. Fun to stare at for its rarity, not much more. Rather useless, unless you intend to use it on a certain build.

Just compare the stats on Templar's Might, to say, the Runeword Lionheart:

Lionheart
Hel + Lum + Fal
+20% Enhanced Damage
Requirements -15%
+25 To Strength
+10 To Energy
+20 To Vitality
+15 To Dexterity
+50 To Life
All Resistances +30

Congrats on the rare find though. :lol:

I like templars might for zealers. Huge defense, FHR, and the +offensive auras are nice. Unless I need the resistances desperately, the lack of defense on lionheart turns me away from it.
