Best item in the game

[Wolfedude]

Just curious as to what everyone thinks is the best item in the game? I have finally decided that ths shako is, with a perfect Mara's a close second. Was wondering what you folks thought.

I'd say it's a tie between Torch of Iro and The Diggler.


... but seriously: Annihilus, hands down.

[COLOR=Lime]Annihilus is clearly the most useful item across all character classes. Well, that and your personal intelligence![/COLOR]

I bet purple pots have saved your chars a lot more often than any silly anni =p
With reds and blues coming in close behind.

Your brain!

Ethereal zod perfect death cleavers.

Khalims Will.

Got your best item.... find this and you become the hands-down richest in the game.

Ethereal Rare weapon with 450%ed/40ias/+skills/leech/+15 to 20 max damage/Self-repair/2 sockets

Imagine that in any of the following forms: War Pike, Thunder Maul, Colossus Sword/Blade, Berserker Axe.

Now imagine the weapon 40/15max'd x 2. Or Ohm-Ohm'd. or 30max-30max'd.

Otherwise, if talking uniques... I like Death's Fathom.

Excluding charms, I would have to say shaftstop. It's ridiculously useful. You can use it at lvl 38 and it can go the whole game. I almost wet myself when i found one of these in Hardcore. In softcore, it doesn't really matter because softcore is lame-o.
