Shael for FHR
PTopazes for MF
I wouldn't waste anything too good in IK sockets.

what about prubys to boost life?
38 x 3 = 114 life

38 x 3 = 114 lifeThat would work if you don't need any more FHR or MF. More life is never a bad thing.

so could i boost dex whit emeralds?I wouldn't. Dexterity is a horrible source of AR. Get a Ravenfrost or AR charms if you're having AR troubles. Also keep in mind that your chance to hit is also affected by your char level versus the monster level, so try leveling up a bit.

I fear that IK Will can only have 2 sockets.
Or so it is listed on the Arreat Summit.
It sounds more like 38*2=76. :scratch:

The only real place the IK set lacks is in physical damage, so I would go with %ed jewels in the helm and armor, shaels in the maul.

I usually Ptopaz it... Pruby wouldn't be stupid as well.

If you plan on visiting Nihlathak, what about 2xSol to prevent the frame-dmg and get immune to those pesky Snakes ?

Don't remember to well, it was discused somewhere on the forum, from what I can remember:
The snakes that fire the poison "javelin" whatever things, do not only psn dmg with it, but also frame dmg of their normal mele atack as long as you stand in the psn cloud, this can hurt (merc dies in an instant!), because it not much, like 20 or something dmg perf frame or something, but sec is 24(25) frames, so the real dmg... auch...

For Pete's sake don't waste decent ed jewels on this set. The maul only does 231-318 damage, so each 40%ed jewel will only net you about 110 additional average physical damage.

And the 'SolSol' helm thing is mine, copyrighted, sole proprietor. :tongue: Anyway, it's a good start on countering those vipers but not nearly enough (throw on a 25PDR amulet and you're doing a little better).
