What to socket - Chameleon - 01-29-2005
Greetings Lurkers,
I have finally completed my Griswald's Legacy :D.
My sockets are thus
Weapon : SHAEL (1), enhanced damage jewels (3); don't have OHM *sigh*
Helm : P-Topaz or P-Ruby (don't even suggest BER i am not nearly rich enough)
Body : PUL or P-Topaz or P-Ruby; will PUL increase defense (+30%) just the base armor 437 or full armor 937
Shield : P-Diamond (3); UMs are just too valuable to waste where Diamonds will do.
Other items
Amulet: Seraph's Hymn
Ring: Raven Frost
Ring: Dual leech rare
Glove: Soul Drainer 7/7
Boots: Gore Riders or War Traveler's (decision based on choice of armor sockets)
Belt: Wilhelm's Pride
Skills : Avenger Build
20 - Vengance
20 - Conviction
10 - Resist Fire, Resist Cold, Resist Lightning
20 - Holy Shield
and other 1pt stuff

If your resists are below 50%, I'd go for the P.Diamond in the shield. If resists arenât a problem, then I'd socket the weapon with the Shael, but only if the shael will increase your FPS. If neither of those scenarios hold true, then I think you should do the P.Ruby in the helmet!

So you'll get an increase of 131 defense on the armor which isn't really that bad considering skills that increase defense will increase it even more.

Also, don't bother with the shael in the shield. You already have 2 fps blocking, and need 86% fbr to hit 1 fps. Although, I must admit there is a big difference between the two, and you may want to stick a few shaels in.

No. ED comes first, then +defense.

While I don't have the full set, I put three pTopazes in Armor. 72% magic find is always a good thing.

Right. It's like with weapons. You find the armour defense by multiplying the base by the enhanced defense and add the +defense. Then you add up all the armour defenses and multiply the sum by the off-armour enhanced defense to get the total defense.
