Upping a Bonesnap or Steeldriver

Working on my Concentrate Barb (eventually an IK Barb), currently level 28 using a 297% ED Bonesnap. Contemplating what I'll try until the point where I can be using all the IK stuff (level 76). Looking at either Bonesnap or Steeldriver, I'm thinking it would be better to up either one of these rather than switching to their exceptional counterparts. Methinks the mods for the normal uniques are better than the mods for the exceptional versions, especially considering I've got a near perfect Bonesnap. From 68 to 76 I think I'd like to give a Windhammer a try but that's a ways away (and I don't currently have one anyway but I think it's fairly obtainable).

Also I was wondering, if I'm using a Bonesnap, Goblin Toes & Guillaume's Face for 40cb+25cb+35cb = 100% chance of Crushing Blow? Does that mean I'll literally be hitting a crushing blow every time? [FONT=arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1][FONT=arial,helvetica][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
 
Re: Upping a Bonesnap or Steeldriver

OK I did just a little bit of research and found the answer to my last question appears to be a resounding yes! I figured that was the way it worked but it almost seemed too good to be true... great googly moogly!

but please somebody correct me if I'm wrong...

Re: Upping a Bonesnap or Steeldriver

yes, that would be the only caveat otherwise peices of your equipment just add up. Same for open wounds and deadly strike.

by the way bloodtree stump looks comparable to me with the bonus of some +skills.
 
Re: Upping a Bonesnap or Steeldriver

I would use a Ribcraker before I went Steel or Snap upped, its reqs rock, speed rocks and more....Steel is worth upping as its got some speed, Snap is slow and I wouldnt up one unless its for a charger and ETH to kill someone with.

You can actually use a Steel in Hell upped twice and Shaeled and do just fine, and upped once is just fine for NM if not Godly.

But a Ribby is already rocking out of the box and if its a good one and you want then up it.

Windhammer works but it is unimpressive compared to IK Maul in set.....you get 225 Str and dont have IK on you just didnt plan well!! ;)

BTW, If i had 100% CB I would drop an item with CB to get more stuff, 100% is a waste IMO and you could add things in the boots or helm slot that could serve you better if you have something....

Depending what I'm leveling :

Gob toes + Guilmes face + peaceplate + ribcracker.

Its not really fancy but the criticrush lets me solo players 8 with low dmg skills like WW.
 
Re: Upping a Bonesnap or Steeldriver

I likes me some upped Steeldriver.

One of my friends used it up to level 75-6 until he put on the IK maul.


I was going to make a cheap charger with it, but he never gave it back. :(

Classic buddy of mine made a couple WW barbs with one and it works well! Put some CS and CB on him in places and he kills great.



 
Re: Upping a Bonesnap or Steeldriver

Oh yeah I had totally forgotten about Ribcracker, and I have one of those, too. I'll give that a swing (pun intended) when I hit lvl 31. :)

thanks everybody for the input. :)
 
Re: Upping a Bonesnap or Steeldriver

Wow! I bet Fury was fun to watch! All 2 seconds of it. :D
 
Re: Upping a Bonesnap or Steeldriver

Leveled up enough to try Ribcracker. Wowza! It's a keeper! :)
 
Re: Upping a Bonesnap or Steeldriver

That sure is a sexxy snapper there - dokuro ...

:thumbsup:

Ribbcracker for the win !!!!
 
Re: Upping a Bonesnap or Steeldriver

Upped Ribcrackers are teh bomb... at any rate, although gifted with lower range than the bonesnap or the steeldriver, ribcracker makes a) a better sound when hitting and b) is more fun, because it is faster. Damage might kill, but speed is still king.

I used it because of my emotional attachment, mainly. Plus it's sexy as hell; look at that skull!
