Stupid Mistake?

[gmcbroom]

Hi All,
I was in Act5 a few days ago and found Bonesnap a unique maul. Well since I'm a sword/shield Barb I sold it. Well it just donned on me that I might have made a Stupid mistake selling it. My current merc is an Act 1 rogue but I intend to get a Might Merc in Act 2 NM.

Could the Might Merc have used Bonesnap? If so then I'm an idiot.

They say the truth hurts so let me know. Did I make a stupid mistake?

Now has anyone ever found Bonesnap more than once?

Thanx in advance.

bonesnap sucks... and no, it's can't be used for an act 2 merc.

you did the right thing... i would have given away to someone

[Nolomite]

Act 2 mercs use polearms or spears - the 2 handed club wouldn't work. Act 5 mercs use 2-handed swords; there is no merc that can swing a Bonesnap. You did the right thing.

if you think loosing 3-4 pgems is a big deal, then you made a wrong choice, but if you think lossing 3-4 pgems, and gaining back 5000 or so gold is a good choice, then you made a good choice :thumbsup:

bonesnap worth 3-4 pgems? where are you located? i'm sure you'd love to take better uniques which I can barely get 2-4 pgems for, for about 6-10 from you. We should hook up, :p

bonesnap doesnt suck, its got great ed for such a low level item. im thinking this is why its so pricey.

Thanx I appreciate it. Thats cool because I just found a unique halberd the damage kinda sux(20-60 and only normal speed) but i like the other Mods like Open wounds, Blinds target and freezes target. Though at this time I can't remember its name. I'll save that for the NM Might Merc.

Now the only thing that sux is that I'm lvl 49 and Baal just killed me. Perhaps when I reach 50.

Just because you happen to think Bonesnap sucks, Rehsa, doesn't mean it does. I like it a lot, and it is a good weapon for, for instance, a Werebear (Druids have fast attack speed with mauls). Great damage for that level, some nice resists and crushing blow: not a single attribute too much. Sure, past level 35 it loses its merit, but hey - that doesn't mean it sucks.

I never sell uniques. If I don't need it (but that is only when I have already one or two copies of the item), I donate it to people who have more use for it. The meager gold isn't going to cover its worth. But hey, to each his own.

Bonesnap is one of my favorite weapons for leveling on my werewolves, it rocks.

IMO it's a nice weapon for leveling a wannabe IK barb, but IIRC I used Steeldriver for mine :lol:

Donating has a problem: finding people to donate TO.

There aren't a lot of "N bonesnap" or "N venomward" games.... "N enigma free" can be found more often, but I don't have one of these, and certainly not to donate :-)

So, I either don't pick them up in the first place, or sell them. Although recently I've kept all sets and uniques I got... rushing mules towards hellforge, and the stuff I get along the way just ends up on that mule even if it's crap... I can still ditch it later, should I need the storage room.

I just join norm games with a lot of low level chars and give what i don't need to people who do need. That's how i got some of my first items so its my way of giving back... and clearing out my inventory.

[Zardoz]

I'll collect a mule full of such items, then make a game called "free stuff" and empty the mule on to the ground. Takes too much time to trade things that don't bring that much anyway.

[SatansAvenger]

id keep it so you have some low level stuff for characters that you are gonna create later on

[gmcbroom]

SA,
Next time I might just keep it; after all I just graduated to Nightmare. The first time I killed Baal he dropped some nice rares. The second time he only dropped some regular magick items. I read somewhere that Baal's supposedly lvl 50 if thats the case I can kill him until I'm lvl 55 before I start to see an drorp in experience.. I just hope my Baal runs get better drops but in Normal I tend to doubt it.

How about it anyone here ever get a good unique from Normal Baal? ie... Tearhaunch greaves, or better yet a unique Barb Helm? My character is a Barb after all.

[gmcbroom]

To whom it may concern Nix my last post. My Baal info must be faulty I could have sworn I read about Baal on Darkness but I'm mistaken..Chaalk it up to Beer.

[SatansAvenger]

since its normal baal, his item level will be rather low, if you do nightmare or hell baal you can get much better stuff.

Okay thanx SA,
