crafting question

[enderdeckard]

gonna start doing some crafting, here are what i assume are the most desired crafts:

caster amulet, ring, belt
blood glove, belt
hit power glove

am i missing anything ?

Also, I'm not sure what strength amazons like to go for, so i'm uncertain if i should be using elite or exceptional gloves for hit power. Can anyone inform me? I'm assuming that elite blood gloves & belts and elite caster belts would be superior to exceptional ones.

Amazon very rarely care about defence. I'd go for the normal item types as these are easiest to get.
If you really want to know, bowazon often use gmb - str 108 - sometimes mat - str war trav 95 - and javazon use ss/facet monarch* - str 156. You can look up what gloves to use yourself.

P.S. caster rings really don't seem interesting while blood rings do. Are you sure you didn't mistype?

*: now that I think about it, bowazon often use titan/ss on switchn making their maximum str on switch 156. So minus the 20 from titans gives you a maximum of 136.
[edit]
Seems like they use a -15% req jewel in the ss, making the str needed less then or about equal to gmb - 113 needed If I didn't miscount.

thanks, 106 str is needed for vambraces, and based on your post, most amazons will have enough strength anyway

therefore, if you have elite gloves for crafting, you might as well use them ?

hmm, you're right, blood rings have the potential to get 10fcr and 25str plus other stats/resists... caster rings don't have any bonus fcr, just some extra mana and regen, which is probably not as important ?

sure, though how can you be sure about the ilvl? You most exactly know what monster dropped it.

Blood rings can become dual leech rings with 25 str, 20 dex and some other mods. That's what you are after. If you get a nice fcr/stats ring, it's a nice addition.

P.S. If you are after the stats, why not go for hit power rings. Fine the mods are useless - the caster mods aren't that great either - , though they are cheaper to make and can get just as much stats - dex instead of str though that doesn't matter that much for most character.
P.P.S. why would you use vambraces? The defence isn't important - for amazon - and you don't want your qlvl the be too high or you will unlock unwanted affixes. I quite sure that ilvl 71 is enough for all wanted affixes.
