steelskull (i have guillames face but not enough leech)
ik boots/belt/gloves (3 more levels til the dual leech vambraces)
eye of etlich
cathans ring
raven frost

if you don't like it, just unsocket it. No, it's not a waste as long as it is for pvm. It is better than waiting for godly stuff and not socketing anything at all.

Just thought I'd suggest Tal Rashas helm in place of Steelskull, it will help with a bit more leech as well as ample resists, life, and mana. I don't see many people talking about this helm, not sure why, it's pretty darn nice for it's availability.

Style. Tal Rasha's helm is god awful ugly :)

I didnt think u told us what build u were?? I believe heaven's light is one of the best smiter weapon (Im using a 2 shael'ed heaven's light with +3)

How much leech do u have?? 5 from steelskull 10 from ik set bonus and if u add 7 from amn rune thats 22:\ That should be good for pvm

Simple solution: buy wand with 97 charges of Level 5 life tap, each charge cost you only 1k gold. Put it on your weapon switch, it'll become part of your skill and you can leach from whatever non-PI monster, can't die with it.

sorry i'm a frost zealot

well i've moved on to guillame's face to get a decent amount of crushing blow, i've got 2 amns in my heaven's light, eye of etlich w/ 3% ll for a total of 17%

i've got ik gloves, belts, and boots, so not enough for the 10% ll w/ ik set (that's 4 items)and a 4% mana leech ring which is plenty

I'd suggest dropping the IK belt for a string of ears later on. If you ever find one, a 20% vamp will put you at 35% pdr. In the later portions of hell, without pdr, frenzytaurs > you.

in that case will ~50% crushing blow be enough? because without the guillames face the only cb i'll have is the weapon and gore riders

hrm.. good point. I'm not entirely sure. It'd probably be best to get a defiance merc to tank for you in that case, and just leave out the gaze. You could still go with a string of ears, or possibly even keep a shaftstop in your stash for when you're in areas that are mostly frenzytaur-infested.

that sounds reasonable. maybe i can get ahold of a stormshield, then i could just switch when i'm about to get pwned. but we'll see if my hell pit runs'll pay off, doubtful
