So I found a nice ethereal Bonehew Ogre Axe with 2OS in it. I’m not too savvy on the breakpoints for mercs. Should I be throwing 2 shaels in this thing for more IAS and rely on the lifeleech from my merc’s helm (tal rashas)? Or should I do one Shael and one Amn so I get more IAS and 7% more life leech?
Suggestions on how to socket this item?
Thanks.
I would use insight or reapers even non eth over that. Bone is pretty lackluster. However if you are hell bent on using it I’d say hel/amn or hel/sheal for str req and either more leech or more ias.
Well, I think I’m going to use this for my lightning Javazon, who has trouble with lightning immunes. Insight is kinda useful, but I’d rather have a big hitting weapon that can 1) keep my merc alive with life leech and 2) take down LI monsters easier. I already have an Insight on my Sorc’s merc.
As an FYI, it always comes with 2 open sockets.
Even non eth insight in a colossus vogue hits harder than that though.
Pretty sure you want ShaelAmn in Bonehew, but it depends on what other IAS and LL you have
Shael+15ias jewel will get you 5 aps.
15ias+random will get you 4.55 aps
No ias will get you 4.17 aps.
I think I would dual shael/15ias+ jewel it and use a Treachery for 5.56 aps, should be enough leech with Tal’s.
