not a single rare/10?
exepet 2 to runewordy for me + hybrids

agreed runewords and uniques even if hybrids are not trophies!

6/10 cuz my shaper is a lot more pimped -_- and has much much higher life and resistance! So did plenty other high end shapers like EpiLOL's and xArcticWolfx's, Sharkbite's just to name a few.

Only gz are the ZB arky, 08 hl and the 09 storm (totally useless and a waste on a shaper) and the rare and crafted amulets are crap imo and many even completely useless.

I do not agree with the build or the switches either:

My main issue is your low life and low res and your character is even lvl99!! You don't even have min 10.5+k life in mb mode!!! Besides you don't have str bug sync with dusk amors or str bugged cta for wsg/rabies switch trick!

You sacrificed far to much life when opting to use 5/3/20's rather than 7x32020's + 3x 5/5's since enigma+30frw diadem+aldurs boots+08 hl is more than sufficient frw even vs ultra speedy zons (keep a few additional 5frw scs in stash vs those).

Perfect Upg Jalal's 7fhr 30ed 9str 9dex all day ... you don't need other useless switch helms like the rabies pelt etc - only the upg jalals, coa (or 08 gaze) and a high life visio (preferably higher life than yours...) unless it is a anti cr/lr 30frw diadem.

You also need GM resistance switches vs sorcs (wisp ring, dwarf ring & stacked cold res), trapper/hybsin (wisp ring) & vt/foh (wisp ring + stacked light res). A decent blizzard sorc would annihilate you with that low cold resistance!

Why no Bramble > zb arky + 3/100 amulet + 1-2x 08 BK's (for true high end shapers - it will boost life massively) + double dur perf jmod (for style & perfection^^)?

Furthermore I personally think you are missing a 1-2 x 1-3%ll 100-120ar ~25str ~15dex ~60life melee ring to save stats and boost life in mb fury mode and what's more a top tier ow belt vs non block/dr required chars which will further boost your life tremendously 13+k @ lvl96 so even more so @ lvl99. Lastly also a angelic amu+ring and a rare/crafted Fool's BA 60+ias (due to reach/life) which is handy vs ultra speedy zons and high def barbs/palas whereas a Fool's PB is rather useless seeing as grief PB is far superior in almost all situations where ar isn't needed hence the fools BA. If you really want a fast sword you would need realms Cruel Cryptic Sword Of Quickness. http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=68748068&f=103 or if it still existed: The Buriza PB!!! http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=65081298&f=103

You ought to visit/revisit and review the best shaper guide still out there, granted it is a little outdated on some points:
