Bo stiks..

[TheUniverse]

I know u can buy 3 wc stiks from malah (can u soket throwing weps?)... but can you buy +3wc weapon that you can soket? from who or were?:confused:

[dainbramage]

You know that quest reward in act 5, from the first quest? Give your wc stick to larzuk.

[TheUniverse]

I thought u cant soket throwing weps?

[saracen85]

you can get different types echoing weapons. (swords, daggers, throwing weapons etc)

however, only those that are non-throwing types can get sockets from larzuk.

[TheUniverse]

echoing meaning +3wc? were can i get a socketable +3wc weapon? ive looked at malahs selection about 200times and have yet to see 1 BO weapon......anyone here ever actualy find a socketable bo wep from a vendor? if so.......WERE.

[Omnicide]

From Malah you should look for +3 WC daggers and from Larzuk you can get +3 WC weapons in...just about any form. Obviously go for one handed.

And they don't come with sockets, you use the quest Larzuk gives you to socket each one. You'll get 1-2 sockets this way.

[Habit88]

what would you want to put in that socket? i can't think of anything useful to put in them

[Omnicide]

Fal runes, for my favorite type of BO booster.

2xFal=20 strength.

Dual 2xFal'd WC weapons=40 strength. This keeps your other gear on that can further boost your BO (Hello CoA).

[Habit88]

hmm that is interesting. although i've never had to worry about those str points. i've never really stressed +str gear/charms. i don't really play pvp. but i do want to make a frenzy uberer. i'll have to keep this in mind

[TheUniverse]

yes i need the +str for arreats on bo switch.... ty once again omi ;) you da man.;) MY bvc is done but with all the switch gear i have im more of a bva. And im doing very good so far. I have all perf gear =P

Damn just made fald +3wc swords and came to the conclusion that i need 2os wc swords cuz i need +40 str (well 36) =( how hard is it to get 2os +3wc? lol

[Omnicide]

Eh...it was a ***** for me to get two 2os WC weapons.

I've made a total of 5...ever. Most of them turned out to be 1os.

What sucks more is I was an idiot and forgot to check my switch before deleting my last barb...so I lost my 2xFal'd +3 WC crystal swords. Oh I was not a happy person.

[Habit88]

as no one person would be. erasing anything, but the those cry weps would take a signi***ant amount of time to obtain. i feel your pain

[TheUniverse]

Looks like ill be entering and re-entering a5 hell alot to find those 2os swords.....lol

[saracen85]

iirc you don't need to. i found an echoing crystal sword from drognan once. just enter the game with the lut golein map where he stands beside the exit. you just leave lut golein and reenter to reroll the items he sell.

[Omnicide]

Eh...either way works. The annoying part is just getting 2os instead of one.

[TheUniverse]

I think ima just buy from somone who has (hopefully somone does) cause it is a ***** getting 2os

[Omnicide]

Heh...IF they trade them to you.

[Barloc]

Eh...either way works. The annoying part is just getting 2os instead of one.

I had traded an arachnid mesh for a pair of +3wc war swords because they were Black. (plus wc weapons that are only 3 space sizes swap out for widowmaker perfectly). Got a 2 socket roll on one, and only 1 socket on the other :mad:. !@#$% Gave em away.

[Omnicide]

I thought the max sockets the WC weapons could have is two...am I wrong? O_o;; Because if they can have more sockets then...oh man...the abuse I can pull.

I would kill for WC daggers (With life tap or other curse please!?) or any other three space weapons. My crystal sword ones were yellow (at the guard) so it looks kinda cool...since they matched and all. Now I had to bug my friend for my very first pair of 2xFal'd WC weapons...flamberge and naga. xD

[Barloc]

2 sockets is it.

I got a pair of devil-star style maces + 3wc. no sockets. Up for grabs. I probably have a few wc daggers (also no sockets) floating around on mules somewhere. I've been tossing them as I find now, since like you, I want freekin charges!

[OGKush]

Found these on a mule..Dont know how many sockets it would be if i do socket them..Prolly 1 each

Yes, only 1 each.

Not bad, but Duel CTA's are the best you can get

+3 to BO
+1 to all skills
___________

which equals +4 to BO, and since there'd be 2, it'd be +8, and because we all love Battle Command, it'd be +9 to BO after you've sang or shouted that.....skill?

But yeah....cool.

[saracen85]

wrong on each account. those echo weapons can get 1 or 2 sockets from larzuk. 50/50 chance for each.

as for dual ctas, the +bo is only capped at +3 for barbs. so 2 ctas=+2 all skills, +3 bo. worse off than 2x echo weapons.

best is a cta/echo or cta/hoto combo (total of +7bo). but for cheapness' sake 2x echo works very well by themselves =)

[OGKush]

50/50 Chance? Hmm Hopefully At least One Gets 2 Sockets =/ Lol

[barb_king]

hey man, i had the same problem with my bvb barb who needed high str on switch to bo...i think its only 50/50 chance for larzuk to put two sockets on weapons which take up 6 blocks of room in ur inventory.

i've socketed soooooo many small sword/mace type echoing weaps and always got 1 socket..........damn str req on switch blows. ******* you Steelrends lol

[tyrael_]

saracen is right , listen to him , he knows everything

:)

[NeX_1337]

i've got a echoing morning star of lamprey from Gheed
(+3wb, soccetable, 7% ll)

[DarkPrinceLoki]

saracen is right , listen to him , he knows everything

:)


vouche

[Omnicide]

saracen is right , listen to him , he knows almost everything

:)Fixed.

Now vouch.

[saracen85]

yeah.. i'm human. i make mistakes. lots of them =P

best to learn from them tho=)

truth be told, i think my knowledge of d2 is only around 50-60%.. so gotta keep learning =)

[Omnicide]

It's surprising what a lot of us don't know about the game.

I put myself at 30-40%.

[GcGX]

That's why there are forums like these, where when combined we can know about 90%.

[Kakashi Hatake]

i cant figure out why ppl want 3 bo sticks anyway. you get more points from duel cta's. and b4 you bombard me with "barbs are capped at 3 bo on cta's", cta also gives 1 all skills so duel ctas really give 3 bo, 2 all skills, which translates into 8 to bo instead of 6 bo from the sticks

Dual ctas will cancel each other out.

[saracen85]

@kakashi
err.. no.

2x cta by a barb gives only +5bo.

btw, the 0skill limit of +3bo is not per weapon. it's per character (barb).

...so duel ctas really give 3 bo, 2 all skills, which translates into 8 to bo instead of 6 bo from the sticks
3+2 = 5, not 8. and afaik is less than 6.

[Kakashi Hatake]

ok then i stand corrected :D

but if thats the case then wouldnt a cta+bo stick still be better than 2 sticks?

[saracen85]

technically, cta + hoto will yield the best combo.
why people choose bo sticks is that;

1. they are easy to shop.
2. they boost shout + other warcries (especially the crowd control ones) as well, which cta doesn't.

[Kakashi Hatake]

when i said cta/bo stick,i figured since ur alrdy paying out the nose for a cta you wouldnt want to buy a hoto too. wait now im confused....you cant have 2 cta b/c bo is capped at 3.....how come you can have 2 sticks and not have the same problem?

[saracen85]

bo sticks are echoing weapons, which is a prefix that gives +3 warcries (barbarian only). this will stack.

cta grants 3-6 bo (oskills), but capped at +3 on barbs despite how many ctas you carry.

[dainbramage]

I'd rather have +6 bo and +6 shout than +7 bo and +4 shout.


@kakashi. The sad thing is that your post has already been posted, and shown to be wrong in this very thread. Seriously... read before posting.

[Kakashi Hatake]

im so sry that overlooking a previous post and posting the same thing has crippled you for life...next time i post in gadgillon ill be sure to read every fuc*in post b4 i do

[JaBaSh]

I'm kinda used to glaives, as it always looked cool hehe. Took note about socketing other wepon types, though... good thinking there ;). I'm even keeping +3warcry amulet in inventory at all times, just to squeeze as more bo as I can with my IK barb. Helps to get to lv39 which isn't near to utter bo godlyness, but serves purpose :p

[dainbramage]

im so sry that overlooking a previous post and posting the same thing has crippled you for life...next time i post in gadgillon ill be sure to read every fuc*in post b4 i do

Please do. I'd rather not read detritus twice.

[Omnicide]

Seeing CtA/Hoto (or WC weapon) as a switch combo always makes me laugh.

3% more life/mana/stamina at the cost of 30% defense...and somehow people think it's worth it.

[Kakashi Hatake]

Please do. I'd rather not read detritus twice.

if thats ur mentality then im sure youve heard this b4 but you could always just...oh idk....not read it

Seeing CtA/Hoto (or WC weapon) as a switch combo always makes me laugh.

3% more life/mana/stamina at the cost of 30% defense...and somehow people think it's worth it.

where is this 30% def coming from?

[Omnicide]

Are you ****ting me? The three levels of Shout? Each one adds 10% to defense?

[2.0]

On a BvC the defense doesn't mean much. Eh, but neither does 3% life, lmao.

[Omnicide]

*shrugs* Either way...I'd rank the defense higher than that life.

Defense for summons? I dunno.

If nothing else, I can pull the cost card and win. o;

[Kakashi Hatake]

@omnicide-i wasnt criticizing, i just want sure where you were getting the shout. ofc i realized after that you were talking about the cta not giving shout....sry if there was a misunderstanding lol
