Find a Use for it! (Tis a game, I guess)

[Hymn]

Yes, this game is all about finding a use for an item that no one ever ever uses. It can be one of the most *** backwards items in the game, as long as the next person tries to find a use for it.

the first item!

Tyrael's Might
Sacred Armor
Defense: 1322-1502 (varies)(Base Defense: 487-600)

Cannot Be Frozen
Requirements -100%
Slain Monsters Rest in Peace
Indestructible
(Ladder Only)
(Only Spawns In Patch 1.10 or later)

[Arkardo]

It's a nice Merc armor; it's strength bonus will help him wear a Collosus Voulge and the resistances will juuuuust max them out.

Chains of Honor's probably a better an cheaper choice, but it wouldn't be if their was no duping. No, I'm not advocating duping here.

[nubikoen]

Compared to Tyrael's might, ber runes are in abundance. Even without duping Chains of Honor is still a cheaper/more common option.

Good merc armor for Destruction Key running as Nith won't nuke you from kills your merc accidently makes.

[BlackyMcBlack]

It makes me blue and shiny

[EasyGijs]

I use it at my merc at SP and it's very usefull. Not only the strength and resistances are usefull, but also the CBF and the FRW make my merc a better meatshield to protect me and kill immunities

[sirwhere]

You can trade it for 35k gold and gamble yourself a good ring ^^

Wraith Flight has a very nice base physical damage for being a javelin. Javelins travels further than throwing knives and thus this weapon could be of nice use to a throwbarb.

next!

[NASE]

what is not to like about Tyrael's Might. It has good defence for no strength what so ever, a whole bunch of other great mods, res, cannot be frozen, monsters rest in peace, frw, ed to demons...

If I'd only have one...

P.S. I have no idea what to do with that crossbow. It just looks nice.

[Kupa]

That crossbow actually wasn't so bad for a Magezon I suppose. With the LR CTC thats probably nice, especially with pierce >.> but yeah, pretty strange.

oh. heres one:

Stoneraven
Matriarchal Spear

Two-Hand Damage: (214-247) To (316-361) (263.5-304 Avg)

man spear-zons got shafted =/

-Kupa

[jakotaco]

think this "game" would be more suited in the community forums, but whatever...

Now, the tag (Amazon only) and it being a spear leaves but one candidate for it... The attacks speed might not be that good but it's got some nice defensive mods. A tanking jabber maybe?


-What about this axe then?
(I wonder what full repair would cost if ot doing it in cube)

Spellsteel

Magic Damage Reduced By 12-15 (varies)
(Only Spawns In Patch 1.09 or later)

[kingdryland]

The frw on tyrael's is there to compensate the frw penalty of it being a medium armor (sacred). Other than that it has nice auxilliary mods ,no need for ravenfrost or nature's piece,an open socket etc. Very nice pvm armor,just overpriced because it is ridiculously rare. I could see that item getting really pumped in the next patch.

[batuchka]

Stoneraven Mat Spear : Looking at it, i would definitely make an iron golem out of it with my summon necro if it spawned ethereal :P It would do ok damage and be prismatic (which will stack with my summon resist!) Rustys that do magic damage also seem cool to me hehe

Tyrael's Might: Some crazy high defense build like palabear, bearbarb, ironskin concentrate barb, etc

Pus Spiter: Sell to Charsi!

Well what about exceptionals upped to elites? Here's one for ya:

Boneslayer Blade Champion Axe

+180-220% Enhanced Damage(varies)

20% Increased Attack Speed
35% Bonus To Attack Rating

(Only Spawns In Patch 1.10 or later)

Would a werebear/werewolf heal his pets/spirits if holybolt got casted?? I was thinking this axe with a shael job, LOH, guil face, gores, etc on a fury wolf or maul/shock bear summoner hybrid lol<o:p></o:p>

[aera]

Spellsteel. lol. The only use would be for someone really poor that wants tele, well hey, I used to use it to tele with my summon necro..

Heres a very VERY un-usefull item:

Demonhorn's Edge
Destroyer Helm

+1-3 To Masteries (Barbarian Only) (varies)
+1-3 To Combat Skills (Barbarian Only) (varies)
(Ladder Only)
(Only Spawns In Patch 1.10 or later)

I think this is pritty shocking. In a very bad way. The only use I can think of would be a very poor frenzy barb..

HAH, and another.

Spirit Keeper

WAIT, there's more.

Actually, Demonhorn's Edge makes a nice substitute for Arreat's if you want/need the extra +1 to warcries and masteries.

HAH, and another.

Cold Absorb 15-25% (varies)
(Only Spawns In Patch 1.10 or later)

Maybe the cold/light sorb would be decent..Tho I doubt it.

Actually, with +2 druid skills, it would be a pretty decent substitute to Shako. I mean, it has cold sorb, fhr, fr. What's so different from shako? No +life/lvl and mana/lvl bonuses, but those are useless anyways, not multiplied by anything and then the +2 stats.

WAIT, there's more.

Stormspike is kind cruddy. However the Dragon Chang makes a pretty awesome merc weapon if you bring your characters up normally -- with those mods he will tear through anything in act2, then when you move onto act3 you can chuck it for a better rare =p

Heres something I still can't figure out:

I mean, even at the low level it can be used for... whats the point? Some extra poison damage? Everything is like fluff, worthless =/ Heck Lenymo's can be decent upped (not that I would do it myself, heh), and Nightsmokes are so nifty. But this thing? ecchh~!

I love this axe. Always use it on switch for my trapper. Not that many teleport charges but decrepify have saved my uncountable amount of merc rescurection gold(all bosses, lister, etc). Gold isnt worth much but I gamble a lot, saves me time.

Hellrack: Not good really, but 150 charges of Immolation arrow can be good for a laugh in a boring baalrun (see the confusion spread as suddenly immolation arrows start flying, and there's no amazons around!) - heck a fire sorc might maybe even reach decent dmg from mastery :rolleyes:

About Pompei's Wrath - except the interesting name. i would say that the use of this weapon is very limited. If you have eth one, probably Furysin could benefit from it (good slow and knockback).

Here is mine. I think one of the worthless items everseen in LOD.. Elite thou :shocked: :

Hellrack makes an awesome elemental damage fury wolf weapon.

[Kupa]

Hellrack makes an awesome elemental damage fury wolf weapon.

BStar is faster, Azurewrath is a better choice even. Heck, even a Lightsabre would work out better. Hellrack is still slow -- even on a Druid.

Steelshade is actually not that bad, mainly because of the +fire absorb. That will cause fire to actually heal you (Whereas, % absorb will never heal you) if you have enough resistance/whatever. The mana leech doesn't seem to bad either. However the replenish life seems odd, as does the 109 str req.

Heh. What about this'n?

Is it me, or is there an awful lot of uniques/items/runewords/etc... that have poison resistance or similar? Poison resistance mods also seem to be very common over the other res's =/

I used this little beauty on a Daggerzon once, got to Act 2 Hell with it, using only normal Attack too. The Lightning resist made short work of Act 4 NM, with all the Gloams in the Plains of Despair. I got bored at Act 2 Hell and deleted her, killing was soooo slow, and I wasn't dying either because I was such a tank.

[batuchka]

Well i'd pick a simple dwaftstar ring which has 15 *percent* fire absorb, 40life *and* 100% gold find over a steelshade armet if u ask me :badteeth: Helm slot could be so much more better!
