Can't decide what to use on my jabber. Using Eth destructor, dual blood rings, metal grid and tyraels. One zod in the spear, 2 sockets open and thinking ether/ber/eth depending on how much ias I need etc.

Gonna use either full mancers or Steelrends+Gore Riders +Veil of Steel/Crown of Ages+Nos coil/WSG.

Any insights on this?
I can find things I like on all the setups same as things I don't need.

i think CoA, wsg, rends and gores is a better option. While you lose 4 skills you gain more dr%, and an extra socket. You will lose some skills to buff your inc stamina but 1 uber ruby in the helm is like an extra 2 levels on inc stamina. The extra socket in the helm will help with that. I can see the benefits to mancers but I think the cb + vita and the dr% will be more important at this stage since 10%dr is like 20% inc life.

Hmmm, yea maybe so. Need to get myself an anni etc then. Lacking the str/dex to use CoA and still have the stats to use tyraels and destructor.

And on the speed issue, someone who knows how the fana+ias etc works out. Not sure if I got it right.

Lvl 6 fana here=lvl 21-22 fana on bnet? If that is right I need a ether in the weap to reach 4,5 fpa jab I think.

how is your ar with just a zod in the weapon? If you can get to around 19-20k ar with an ether then maybe skip the eth rune and do zod, ether and ber? if not then zod ether and eth. I dont think damage is a problem for you and 4,5 fpa jab with 10%cb will dish out the damage nicely i think. Btw, you need a set of rends? i got a spare set iirc.

Got rends on, thanks though. My ar is lacking badly, should try to change grid. Mines 410 ar, 60 res.

Jab ar is at 12k atm with just a zod. Fend is close to 16k and impale is at 26k.

that can be fixed pretty easily with an ether stone, my barbs at 20k ar and is hitting no probs. What about the blood rings, they sporting ar? we'll see what we can do about an anni when i get on too.

_________________

Dual leech on one bloodring and ar on the other one. Changed grid with Bobs necro now. 5xx ar and 48 res instead of 410 ar and 60 res. Figured he didn't need the ar

yeh m8, after tryin her current setup id say stick with it and use an eth and an ether. seems pretty badass to me!

I have some ar/life gcs on my mules red_neck1 look on gg_charms guy or ask bob if he rolled anymore i might loan ya the ones i have on my wolf barb since i dont play anymore if you dont find enough

If your going to ber your pike, I would try IK boots instead of gores. 100life, 100%ar, 30dex( pretty sure dex = 3%ed with your pike), and your cs/ds should be around 90% already.

Too late Jay, that was a solid choice though.
I went with zod, ether and a eth.
