IK set sockets (which are best?)

[Ophiuchus]

Hi all,

I'm playing with IK conc barbarian. And I need suggestions which sockets should I put into IK items from players with experience at this. Any ideas?

IAS	frames per attack
54	14
75	13
109	12
163	11

Preferably Shaels so you can reach the 109 breakpoint. If you can reach 109 with IAS from an amulet or jewels in other sockets, then Eth also works nicely in the weap

Yeah. I thought the same. But I saw some post that Ber+Lo or Lo+Lo or Ber+Ber in weap could be deadly thing...

About armor I think: Pul
Helm: 2 Jah

Putting HRs in the IK set is like putting racing parts on a Ford Escort when you already got the keys to a Ferrari.

Weapon 2 shaels and armor/helm prubies or Sols.

If you got Bers, Los and Jahs to spare why not use gear that outdamages IK set by a factor 3 or more.

You see, I'm playing single player at the moment. So I dont care if it's HRs or not. I simply need to do best IK set as I can. For that reason I'm asking help from experienced barb players...

[stephan]

If you play SP you should care a lot more about HRs.

But I dont This is IK experiment barb.

If you're using Whirlwind then you need the extra 29% IAS in the weapon to get to the fastest whirlwind speed, so that means 2 Shaels. Even with a Concentrate/Berserk build then Shael runes come in handy.

As for punching holes in the other slots, that's up to you what you put in there. Ber runes are premium for the damage reduction, aside from that be creative, 15% IAS jewels, resisance gems/runes/jewels etc etc
