javs worth upgrading?

[OneHundread58]

i found a rare throwing spear that i was thinking about upgrading but i'm not really sure if it's worth the runes. any input would help

Gale Scratch
10 ias
205 ED
+187 to attack rating
12-36 fire dmg
1-4 cold dmg

i like the ED and the IAS but it is lacking any +skills and it doesn't replenish. I am starting over after a year's break (thanks to the announcement of d3), so i can't really afford to up these and if i come along something better boost those. i really only have the runes to take it from normal to exceptional, with the hopes that these can power me through until i can scrounge together more runes.

also i'm making a LF/CS/CA/FA zon if that makes a difference.

It is probably not worth the runes to up it, unless you know you'll NEVER get your hands on Titans.


EDIT: If you've got the runes to up it, you most likely have the rune(s) to get Titans.

i found a rare throwing spear [insert crappy mods here] ... also i'm making a LF/CS/CA/FA zon if that makes a difference.Then the answer is no. The only thing I can see those Javs have going for them (upped) is the ED%. If you are making an LF/CS/whole lotta points dumped in bow tree/not to mention a Valk Zon, than you really want =skills and IAS on those Javs. Not to mention that even at this early stage of the ladder, as Dacar rightly points out, the runes to upgrade could (nearly) get you Titan's, which would be far superior to even the upped versions of your Javs.

Even SP, I'd save the runes. Those are nice Javs, but, as always, patience is a virtue.

IMHO...

It's a shame, really, that Uniques are so normally dominant over the wonderful potential of rares. Maybe in DIII.

Good luck,
