Basically topic.

I want to know if something like this could spawn?

2sorc
10fcr
10% blockrate
(m/pdr that always spawns on these)

Or is there some explicit rule that Safety amulets cant spawn with FCR?

Like in my mind this should be possible, as any caster amy that exceeds 10% FCR also spawns with the 10 FCR mod. On the other hand, I've literally never seen one of these amulets before rolled with FCR on it.

So I'm here trying to figure out if it's just something people don't do, or is it just not possible?

If it's possible, I think this could be a neat amy for a zeal sorc to try.

that is possible. all rare affixes are allowed on crafts, so you can get icb as craft-mod and 10fcr as a regular suffix

Awesome! Thanks man.

Would really suck to roll one of these with 1% block rate and 1 m/pdr lol,

but high blockrate + m/pdr + dex would be god tier for a block amu swap, assuming 10% fcr is enough to hit your bp.

Thanks again

The issue is that you get a lot more from 2/20fcr then 2/10/10icb

Hmmm, fair - unless you only need 10 FCR to hit your target bp.

But I am curious how much dex 10% blockrate would effectively save. I think 10%, in most situations, would save more than the 20 mana from caster amy.

But it may only be worth it on a maxblock ES soso, since M/PDR is only really note worthy on them. That, and regen mana mod is not super useful for sorcs since they have Warmth value point

Either way, rollng thul / P Emerald is much cheaper than ral / P ame

The issue is that you gain a lot more from 2/20fcr as it gives you much more gear flexibility.

For ES especially, caster amulet > icb amulet. Even if the caster amulet has 10fcr.


Icb amulwrs just aren’t very useful, which is why they have never gained popularity, were never imported on lod, etc etc.

2/20 > 2/10/10icb

That makes perfect sense, actually. As 10 less FCR on your amy means you lose the 25% max mana from 1 Soj, and there's no way the saved dex can make up for that.

I checked bp tables, and it actually prob isn't good for Zeal soso, either, as she runs low FCR gear. And there *is* a breakpoint at 20, and it might be that only amy alone is the way to go.

Im wondering if *any* class has the stars aligned with their breakpoints such that they only need 10 fcr from amy, such that if you rolled a 2/10/10/dex amy, you can easily reach maxblock (or at least improve block rate significantly for certain matchups without respecing).

Or like, if there are some gear swaps for certain matchups where you wouldn't mind dropping a frame for the extra block chance?

But what really sucks is the caster amys are minimum 5% fcr, whereas block amys are minimum 1%, so only 1 in 10 is a perf 10% block. So the roll odds are prob a bit rough.

Oh well. Might try to craft a M/PDR fcr ring with these Emeralds, then

MDR/PR rings are a good choice, but I recommend dragon shields because 30/20/10 magic resistance!/2 open sockets would be the jackpot.

i have a 2 druid 9 icb 10 fcr 16 dex ammy for my druid. hes already going to be at 99 for a max block setup anyway so it saves a ton of dex
