Hey,

I recently made a v/t for pub duels etc. Atm he's lvl 83. The gear he uses are as follows:

Smite:

Shako with 15 ias jewel
grief ba 32/342
coh/eni
upped zaka with 15 ias/37 ed
tgods
crafted ias gloves
maras/highloards
raven frost/dwarf
gores/treks
9 pc gcs
torch
anni

Foh

shako 15 ias jewel
hoto (can't afford foh scepter atm)
upped zaka with ber rune (got it from my hammerdin)
tgods
crafted ias gloves
maras/highlords
raven/dwarf
gores/treks
9 pc gcs
torch
anni

Ok so my question is:

For my foh zaka would it be any use putting a -4/3 light rbf in it? and is a griffons with -5/5 really absolutely vital?

Thanks in advance.

-4/3 helps more than -0/0 ;)

-4/3 doesnt help as much as -5/5 ;)

Your call dude

make a hammer/smiter instead. people cant abs your hammers as they can your foh, so you will have 2 viable attacks no matter what ;)

Well I've found one thing out since I've made my hammerdin and that is...I CAN'T DUEL WITH HAMMERS :P That and I can't namelock lol.

Anyway atm I have a -4/3 but I can't really afford a -5/5 one. I think I will socket it with it. Will the difference be very noticable?

[®@þþ3¬]

Do you really think that -2%/1% will make any difference? This whole "ZOMG I R N33D 2 GET MEH PERF ITAMZ" has gone out of hand.

Okay, it does make a difference,but you wont notice it. It will take immense testing to see see the tiny difference.

Thanks RAppel.

+ I suppose it helps a lot more than a Ber rune :p

- I don't know if wearing absorb equipment as your main is really the best idea. Skills and/or items giving life/dex might be a better bet.

- I would recommend Grief Pb instead so you can have a faster attack with smite. The jewels in Shako and Hoz are somewhat pointless if you can hit it otherwise.

- I would probably stick with Enigma over everything.

- Only problem is your damage isn't going to be great (thus easily absorbed) without some of the more expensive gear.

Better than nothing but there isn't much increase in damage.

Same with a -5/5. Not much increase, but as you said. Better than nothing :)

I can't really afford my own grief on nl. The one I have atm belongs to N_V :D
