Whats the best to CRAFT & IMBUE or maybe even GAMBLE for a 1 handed weapon Zealer?

Currently in Nightmare difficulty @ Level 77, accessible to all acts and can kill all areas.
Currently using Black Flail (Runeword) and its killing meph within 2 minutes but im looking for a good hell weapon and meph just wont cough up a unique for anything so butchers/headstriker is out of the question.

Hit Power Craft (Blunt weapon)
Blood Craft (Axes)
Nightmare/Hell Imbue
Gambling

I'd say BA or Ettin axe to gamble.
BA to craft

Zerker is 85 ilevel and I'm only 77. I can't gamble zerkers can I?
I've tried looking in the gamble spot for a zerker for 30 minutes straight and never seen 1.


Maybe I could pick up a small crescent if it's possible in act 5.
Act 5 anya gamble any different than act 4 gamble?

You wont be able to gamble a zerker at 77. The earliest you could iirc is 81. If not 80. Even if you were level 81. The likelihood of you gambling a zerker axe is EXTREMELY small. You could gamble 1000 axes and not see one.
Ettin axe is a decent alternative weapon, just slightly slower ias.

Gambling doesn't changed based off of act.

Crescent or ettin can be gambled correct? Just not found until act 5

Just stick with Meph or even Andy and wait for a butchers, you’ll get that way before you gamble or craft anything decent

Or jump to hell countess and farm mal + pul for an oath. Tons of bases that runeword works in so finding an eth 4 soc for it shouldn’t be too tough

This.


And I believe so. They may drop in a4, but don’t remember. You’d have to check ilvl of items.

Site I checked said pindle area and up for cresent and nothing in NM for ettin. But both could be gambled by my level 77.

And as far as countess goes, my defense sucks on p8 so I would die before then to ranged shooters. I already have a pul tho, just need the Mal and descent base.
My problem with meph is that I have 0% MF lol.

Could drop back to nm meph for hoz, Guillies, Raven, etc. should go down very fast. Wouldn’t take long. And you could get butchers or striker for temp weapon. Just what i would do in your situation. You have a huge lead so no worries about someone stealing it lol, within 2 days anyways.

I'm trying to run you down, but you're leveling faster than I'm catching you, 77 to my 59

I agree that meph would be your best bet, maybe throw in shenk/eld/pindle as well? Can you keep a mf swap in your cube/inv to last hit with? 0mf is rough, even adding like a 3x ptopaz hat for kill would be a significant boost.
