Best possible rare circlet?

[Wubbie]

Hi there,

I have read the part of magic pre and suffix on the battle.net site and i wonder what will be the best possible "godly" circlet ever found/gamble? For a caster necromancer then.

Note: rare circlets can have max 6 mods and max 3 prefix and 3 suffix.

So far the best mods i have seen to get them on a rare circlet.

Prefixes:

90 to mana
20% all res
2 to necro skills
2 free sockets

Suffixes:

30 strength
20 dex
20 energie
20% faster cast rate
60 life
30% Faster runwalk
25% magic find

If i could get any circlet my would be:

Diadem 60 defence.
2 to necro skills
20% all res
2 free sockets
20% faster cast rate
60 to life
20 to energie

I would socket it with a cham rune for cannot be frozen and a ber rune for the damage reduction.

I think that circlet would totally own shako if you get it.

What do you people think about the best possible circlet?

If you find such a circlet, chances are you have found a bucketload of zod runes by that time. Predicting perfect rares is pointless as there are simply too many variables.

Dear Wubbie,

If there is one thing that I've learned over the years of playing D2, it is that there is no such thing as.. how do you put it? Ah yes, 'best possibly godly circlet'. For one thing, I personally find the use of the term 'godly' to be.. in poor taste. Secondly, I like to play a variety of builds, and I mean that, really a large variety, not just one or the other. Because of this, the requirements for a circlet, or even any sort of equipment for that matter, can vary very *widely*.

To give you an idea, if I were interested in playing a summoner, with your typical warriors and mages and various revives, I would be interested in a helm that could have that +3 to summoning skills rather than a general +2 to all. One extra point can make a difference, don't you know.

Another critical element is that if I'm emphasizing one skill tree, putting all of my points into that, I just may want something that gives me a plus to another that I would want, like certain curses such as Amp or DV. Again, it's a *particular* skill that I would most likely be interested in, rather than an increase to all skills.

So, for *myself* as an example, since your question was directed openly, I cannot and will not say as to what would be the 'best' for me, because it is greatly determined by the build I am creating. There are just too many variables in both the item generation and what happens to be my fancy.

Predicting perfect rares is pointless as there are simply too many variables.Well he did say circlet but I guess he meant Diadems as well. Rare Diadems can be imbued (with any level charcater) and then can be re-rolled using the 6 perfect skull recipe and I think they can get ANY affix (due to high quality = Qlvl) so the chances of getting the one you really want are quite good unless you have a better use for the P skulls. All the circlets I find seem to be faster cast rate with +2 Babarian skills or Life and Mana leech with + 2 Necro :( ... but keep trying as that "godly" one just might turn up.

As to the ideal affixes: I don't have a bonemancer but my ideal headgear for one would be similar to yours but replacing energy with r/w. So it would be:

Diadem 60 defence.
2 to necro skills
20% all res
2 free sockets
20% faster cast rate
60 to life
30% faster run walk

assuming that is possible.

i'm relatively certain that the pskull formula degrades item quality (makes the ilvl go down). this would make the diadem eventually not be able to get the desired mods. the pskull + soj formula would work for it if you had a high level character.

Diadems have a very high quality and so they are still high enough for the perfect skull recipe to work for them. I am doing this myself and seem to remember getting a +2 Barbarian Diadem ... although that just might have been the imbue.

And for Diadems character level does not matter for re-rolling or the imbue since they have high quality. Most other items cannot be treated this way whem re-rolling or imbuing. That is why white diadems are my favourite imbue since I can do it with a low level mule that has killed the smith. I beleive that Diadems always have access to all affixes regardless of the operation :)

Well..

I found a rare Diadem:

+2 necro
20% faster cast
Prismatic resist'

could be better, but it has the 3 good pre/suffixes :)

Would be easier to makes a bunch of level 8 characters and do charsi imbue quest on a whole bunch of diadem I believe.

As for best mods...
Diadem 60 defence.
2 to necro skills
20% all res
2 free sockets
20% faster cast rate
60 to life
30% faster run walk

but with a Cham and Jah for more life. ;)

The mods spawned from imbuing depend on your character's level so using a level 8 to imbue would produce some seriously craptacular results.

Yes Pastys rite +3 to a certian part of a skill tree wood be much better on a necro becasue you usally go with one or the other (Bone/Summoning).
Also if u find that then you wood be a very very very lucky man and imbuing at lvl 8..that would and will take forever to get because i believe you have to be Clvl 90+ to have +2 to all skills with imbuing or crafting.
