Not even close to perfect (no other great mnods except def)

but still my only ornate with 800+ def

@DiabloTwoinDC The hydra really makes a diference, doesn't it? I've noticed that you get different results depending upon if you place the hydra right in top of the rack, or if you place it next to the rack. You can get 3 different results from the same route, it greatly improves the chances of getting something useful. But is also three times more frustrating when it doesn't.

Also found stable Bone Knife rack, woohoo!

@Burgomaster3 trolled? That's just a incentive to get creative! Nice charm for a meleemancer with summons

I racked quite a lot with my Javazon in 1.07, because it was my first char to reach Hell LK.

Casting decoy next to a rack has the same effect (and I believe whatever summon). Most stable racks would give different items depending how many times I casted decoy next to rack. With rack really close, that was really efficient way to produce many possible items.

Why would you want to do that?

The Fathom screenshot from last Saturday. Still haven't decided what to socket it with.

 

[d2fan1]

are there even many possible things?

ist vs facet

 

[Gripphon1]

I would recommend Ist because gain of facet is quite insignificant for PvM, and Ist does offer most of what you can get out of Fathom for a sorc. Making MF tool out of one makes most sense and is most straightforward way to go.
Faceted Fathom could be used for Baaling, CS or Travincal, but in all those areas I believe Ist is something player would prefer more. I do use faceted Fathom for Travincal, but just because I have enough desired MF, otherwise it would be Ist all the way. As a bonus info, I ran Travincal with 14k Blizzard damage as well as 9k with same running times. Damage is really not something THAT important for Blizzard when properly combined with Static Field. As for Orb sorc, same story I assume (does anyone even play orb sorcs nowadays?)

I guess other possible way is to socket Lem for goldfinding (quite uncommon + 6x Lem crystal sword is stronger by test) or some fancy resist jewel for more safety. Other than that not sure what else useful can be socketed into Fathom.

More like this: 80% Ist > 15% facet > 5% whatever

 

[Fabian]

65 > 35 > 0 imo

 

[pharphis]

65 > 35 > 0 imo

no, no, more like 95 (wizzeh) > 5% (SC players w/ ist)

 

[Grape1]

Quite a double drop:

I'm pretty sure it's happened, especially if we count horkers running Pindle but right off-hand the closest thing I remember is @Grisu getting two Griswold's Redemptions in a single run. (I'm 100% just tagging him on the off chance he still has those images around ... which is super likely 8 years later.)

 

[Burgomaster3]

@Grape Yeah, that's true re: meleemancer, but even then it's more like "as-if-I-didn't-have-enough-things-on-my-plate"-type of trolling. I'm in middle of so many "fun" builds already, now I have to start theorycrafting a melee necro, maybe with skelly mages and fire golem, since i haven't really used those before. Using that charm with any other char than melee necro feels just wasteful.

 

[Grape1]

Wow, nice

@Burgomaster3 yeah, I can totally relate to that. Sometimes I wonder that will I keep playing this game to finish even half the builds I've planned to play

The closest I've come is a run in my record MFO (Winter 2013 I think?) where I found two 9.3 qualifiers in the same run. Berserker Axe and Thunder Maul iirc.

 

[pharphis]

Ya, I got 2 of my qualifiers (9.3 and 10.4 iirc) during a single run this MFO but that's way less impressive than double set/unique from pindle

 

[LiquidClear]

...does Mang's on back-to-back runs count?

 

[Gripphon1]

I wish I was that lucky like you guys.

 

[LiquidClear]

I wish I was human like you guys.

 

[krischan]

are there even many possible things?

ist vs facet

When having a choice, I would always improve the best aspect of an item rather than adding something mediocre. If I want MF on a weapon, then I'm using Ali Baba or a 6 Ist weapon, but DF needs a cold facet.

Poor bastard ...
