Only One Orb Left to Find - Item Find Thread (12 Apr 12) der=0>

[Ilandalar]

First of all, is it any good? And second of all, if so, what kind of build would it suit? I'm still struggling to identify what makes a good rare.

You usually compare them to common build options and see if it tops that. Like for example a common hammerdin helm is Harlequin Crest. A good paladin circlet will have to beat that in some regard like offering resists and FCR and a few other mods to offset the loss the HP/MP/MF/10% DR and the +2 to skills will have to match. But yes the teleport charges and the mana were good mods.

And not be off-topic -I found myself a Shako again. I'll need another character with the socket quest though.

[endlesscircuit]

Tupsi: Wow, the 1.07 belt is nice! Double to triple the key stats.

I've finally started counting runs; it's a bit depressing, I must say. After 306 runs in AT, found the following TC87'er. Still on the lookout for a better weapon than Tal's Orb... (Vex/Gul for HoTo, Occulus, or even a Death's Fathom?)

I finally get to see some nice rune drops for the first time on HC. First this Gul from a single skeleton that I was not even considering to kill while searching for Radament. And then an Ohm a few levels later in the Pits.

@endlesscircuit: Nice it is indeed. Forwarded it and my Trav runner (wolfbarb) is flying! Doesn't need a ml ring anymore, either.

Also a merc twinking weapon I imbued and forwarded from 1.07. A nice mid-phase between eDimoak's Hew and Insight Bill which I found to be a tad too far apart from each other.
