what kind of paladin needs 20fcr ammy

recently saw a 2 pally 20fcr basically no other mods ammy went for very high price. I cant think of a pally build that need 20fcr on ammy that bad (sacrificing basically all other mods on ammy).

someone enlightens me please.
 
Re: what kind of paladin needs 20fcr ammy

hdin can get 125fcr so easily from standard gears. it is not like druid who has to hit insanely high bp.
spirit 35 arachi 20 trang 20 hoto 40 ring/ammy 10
plus the 20fcr ammy has almost no other stats.
that is the question.
 
Re: what kind of paladin needs 20fcr ammy

well, i would assume 20 fcr ammy let you use 2 soj where as 10 fcr ammy can let you use 1.

but i do see the obvious advantage of flexibility:
hoto (40)
GG uber pally circlet 2/20/ber-ber (20)
ammy (20)
arach (20)
trang/magefist (20)
ring (10)

and you have shield free for perhaps stormshield
to reach 75% block
50% dr
max fhr bp
max resist

i think... (i duno if that's what people do, but i imagine it would allow things like that. as hdin with 125/spirit has no major DR source)

coa and verdugo ?


 
Re: what kind of paladin needs 20fcr ammy

coa and verdugo ?

well, with coa and verdungo, you lose +2 skills, and beside... stormshield is 35% without socket while coa/verdungo combine for a max of 30% dr

and beside, SS cost about 10x less than coa/verdungo combo

for coa/verdungo to hit 125 fcr (which was the whole point of 20 fcr ammy in the first place)

you need:
the ammy (20)
glove (20)
1 rings (10)
hoto (40)
perfect spirit (35)

hum...

you know what... i have no idea. blah, i am happy with my pvm none-20 fcr requiring hdin


 
Re: what kind of paladin needs 20fcr ammy

What I think is ideal in pvp
Fcr listing
Spirit 35
Amulet 20
Wizardspike 50
Trang 20

Others
Coa
Dungos/Tgods
x2 bk ring/wisp/dwarf/raven
Spurs/Waterwalks/treks/rare boots

Will give you good resist stacking,sorb, dr, and along +skill balance.
 
Re: what kind of paladin needs 20fcr ammy

umm thats far from ideal, but i get it now, it has uses in some people's mind.

Re: what kind of paladin needs 20fcr ammy

for pvp?
wizzy w/ 15@res
coa
spirit
arachi
trang <- 125fcr
enigma <- 39% dr
if you use dungo you are stuck with 20fcr ammy (usually with crappy mods, only 2 affixs available) if you want to use soj/bk/sob rings.

with arachi I can freely switch sob rings, stat/resist ammy around, you can also use godly rare 10fcr ammy (5 affix) with hoto if you want more dmg, or 30mara with wizzy for massive stack. there are just so much more options with arachi.
 
Re: what kind of paladin needs 20fcr ammy

Arach is pretty far from the top choice as a belt on a pvp hammerdin. Even fcr rings + verdu setup is superior to it. I did some rought maths on it while ago and verdu setup came out with higher life, higher dr, same fcr, around same damage.

Crafted caster amus can be pretty insane and easily beat mara's.

For example:

2 pala
20 faster cast rate
20 mana
20 all resists
60 life

Amulet is possible.

With 20 fcr amu you can swab abs rings just like with arach, no difference there. You would lose 10 all ress and +1 skill compared to arach / mara's but gain 60 boable life, 120 non boable life, 15 dr.

You would ofcourse keep arach in stash for situations where its needed.

Found the verdu + rings numbers:

Some numbers:

arach, 2x bk rings setup: +3 skills, 100 non bo able life, 20 fcr, 9x 20 life scs = 180 bo able life.

verdungo, 2x 10 fcr / 15 dex / 40 life rings: 80 boable life from rings, 90 boable life from the dex you saved, 120 non boable life from verdungo, 15% dr, 3x 40 life pcs = 120 bo able life and +3 palacombat sks and 20 fcr.

Conclusion:

With level 20 bo first setup grants you 445 life, +3 skills, 20 fcr.

2nd setup with 17 level bo: 650 life, +3 pc skills, 20 fcr and 15% dr.

Like said, verdungo setup is superior to arach setup, if you can afford nice rings and palacombats with life.

These are counted assuming you have almost perfect gear, so theyr not 100 pc accurate, doubt many people is able to afford perfect fcr rings, but if you can come up with something close to them it still beats arach setup.



 
Re: what kind of paladin needs 20fcr ammy

2 pala
20 faster cast rate
20 mana
20 all resists
60 life

possible != exist, pls note 2pally 20fcr JUNK mod ammy goes for crazy price like 20hrs.
You also count out godly 10fcr ammy which are much more common and has 2 more affix.

in a nutshell:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dungo+20fcr ammy(most likely crappy mods)
vs
arachi + mara

11 dr 120 non-boable life
vs
1more skill, more stack resist, 3 bo levels on ALL BOABLE LIFE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dungo+20fcr ammy
vs
arachi + godly 10fcr ammy
11 dr some non-boable life
vs
1 more skill, higher life/res due to 2more affix, option to use hoto for +3 bo and +3 hammer/conc
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Your bk ring + arachi and 10fcr rings+dungo comparison is no accurate.

First you did not count ALL boable life gained from 3 bo levels, you need to count pcomb lifers, waterwalker etc.
Second I dont build char around dex ring, if you need to swap rings you are no longer max block.
Third, you count "3x40life pc" in the dungo fomula, what is that?

The difference between level 20 and level 17 bo is small, only 9 percent and you could always prebuff bo. If you don't wanna build your char around dex from rings, thats your choice. However i can't really figure out a situation where i would have to switch for abs rings and still keept max blocks. The blocking will only go down by ~10% anyway.

3x 40 life pala combat skillers. Can't remember why i counted it with 40 lifers instead of 45 life ones.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dungo+20fcr ammy(most likely crappy mods)
vs
arachi + mara

11 dr 120 non-boable life
vs
1more skill, more stack resist, 3 bo levels on ALL BOABLE LIFE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's 15% damage reducted, 10 fhr and 120 non-boable life at minium.

1 more skill makes next to no difference, we are talking about like 150 hammer damage. Resists aren't usually an issue on hammerdins, sure its a plus. Bo can still be prebuffed, but even without prebuffed bo, the diffrence won't be big.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dungo+20fcr ammy
vs
arachi + godly 10fcr ammy
11 dr some non-boable life
vs
1 more skill, higher life/res due to 2more affix, option to use hoto for +3 bo and +3 hammer/conc
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, 15% dr, 10 fhr, 120 non-boable life, +other possible mods.

+1 skill makes next to no difference. How fair it is to count the 10 fcr amu to have "higher life/res"?
I don't understand how hoto gives +3 bo.
Imo if we are comparing them we should assume theyr both godly or both junk. Not one to be godly and the another one to be junk.

The 20 fcr pala amus are better of on mages and other chars that actually have real use for the 20 fcr. It's so easy to reach desired fcr breakpoint on a hammerdin, that 20 fcr amu is far from neccesary. On a mage its a whole different story.

coa berber + enigma = 39%dr, and dr caps at 50%
so dungo gains 11% dr.
You might want to include 65life from WW and 7-8 45 pcomb lifer/10x 20/5 into the equation, with possible +life from ammy, I am interested to see the result.

anyway I am finished with the original question.

Didn't think of using ber ber coa, that would actually require you to put points in str. I would have gone with ber & -15/15@ jewel.

65 life ww + 360 skillers ( 8 x 45 ) + 200 scs ( 10 x 20 )
= 625

625 x 1.83 = 1144 life, that's with level 17 bo.

625 x 1.92 = 1200 life, with level 20 bo.

Like i said, the difference will not be big and you can always prebuff bo with the dungo setup and then there will be no difference in bo levels.



 
Re: what kind of paladin needs 20fcr ammy

was that my ammy you saw traded? :D I sold it because i found better, but what people say about getting 20fcr on ammy is true. With it you're more free with gear selection like wearing dungos, raven, wisp, wws which wil give you better survival in ffa or for duels with something like v/t you need both dr and lr/sorb.
 
Re: what kind of paladin needs 20fcr ammy

Yeah, indeed it gives you alot more gear options. I wonder why we were only talking about dungos?

125 fcr with grief is possible too with 20 fcr amu.
