lol nn cube anything vs billion :blush:


4 charm spaces = 12 max / 80 ar / 60 life

max rare hat would be 60 life, magic only can get 80, so u lose 20 life by not going magic. even a plain 24 maxer gives twice the damage lost. ar is lol.

that's also all considering u could find either of them, and you're not likely to find a 1barb (>>>>>> wc lol) 3 bo / 3 wc / 3inc speed / 60 life / 2 os helm.

hell ive seen people bump an iso for multiple ladders just to find a 1barb/3bo/2os/5x life helm.

in any case 3 os is always best as long as u can stomach cube BO. i generally hate doing it too, and its why i never played my psn dagger sin. every duel u have to make like 5 swaps just to get the psn dmg to kill people. 2shadow,2soj,2 5venom claws all in cube. but if ur a tele barb u basically have to, as you'll have 2x daggers in the cube anyways.

u really think so?

im not 100% on the builds u use, but a 20 ed / 6 str / 9 dex / xxxxx jewel saves 15 stat points, 60 life on a barb, gives 20% more ed, and has room for res or w/e

u gain 18 life at the cost of 20% ed and a res stack. idkkkkkkkkkk

unless ur running a build low enough to not need the dex/str idk

There is a slight argument for 70 life/ 2 sock plains for naga barbs because you can achieve max block with base dex and only 18 dex from helm so the extra socket only gains 6 str points .

However for most everything else id rather go 3 socket

Also, tbh I think it’s easier and cheaper to find the plain squid helms than it is an extra 20/6/9 so that’s why some people prefer them ;)

But atm my barbs have 3 sock helms because brawler, zweis, and bec all require dex so it’s a superior helm

gl finding 3 ww 80 life 3os, pretty sure sackshadow is the only one who has anything close to that, and i think he had to pay to have it shopped.
but 3 ww 80 life 3os is def best.
