2??

[ajfish]

yea this is 2 questions. first i was thinking of using complete ik and was wondering what to socket everything with? second i was wondering why no one uses or talks about stone, i think it seems like a pretty nice piece of armor. thanks.

Ik maul requires 30 ias to hit the last ww breakpoint, so either 2 15 ias jewels or 2 shaels (or one of both, w/e). The armor and helm are whatever you want to put in them. Prubies will give you the most life, ptopaz gives you mf, if you really wanted to chuck some runes in there pul and um never hurt (except your rune mule).

People tend not to use stone because the new etheral bug allows other runewords to give considerably more defense.

name one other runeword that gives more def then stone ;).

no one talks about stone because of this thing called battle orders

once you hit 2.5k-3.5k+ life an extreme defense isn't important, unless you are sitting there tanking there for 10 centuries on each monster you encounter

shout + duress + arreat's should give you over 5k defense easily even if the rest of your equipment sucks

EBug Stone can go over 5k. :wink3:

i saw the highest stone i've ever seen today. 4579 defense, it was set in sacred armor. if strength req wasnt 222 would make a beastly merc armor

[Omikron8]

get andy's for +25-30 str

EBug Stone can go over 5k. :wink3:

but that'd only be useable on a merc :(

he mentioned prudence because it has the repairs durability mod, so you can e-bug it and still wear it on your normal chars.
