Nice going, it is good to see someone take their time going through the game.

Do you ever re-roll Small Charms with 3 perfect gems in Cube to hopefully get 3/20/20s or 20/5s? If so, do you do Nightmare Cow runs and collect those small charms since they have a better chance to re-roll into those. The ilvl = the perfect affix level for those prefixes and suffixes to apply, whereas higher ilvl small charms has more prefixes and suffixes to choose from, meaning less chance to re-roll those.

Sorry for the speech. :D Very nice items, hope it continues for you.

Good question. I haven’t thought of rerolling Small Charms, but I’ve tried ilvl 99 Grand Charms in the past.
Nowadays I only reroll rare Diadems and use Gems to craft Safety rings, Safety/Caster amulets and Caster belts.

According to another user, the "Odds to get a Shimmering sc of vita: 5@ 20life" are:
1 / 125,235 with iLvl 99
1 / 90,675 with iLvl 61

I don’t have the patience for that <_<

I’m not sure which is better. Same Life after replacing Res charms with Life charms, but 3% lower CTB and less Mana vs +2 DR and +2 MDR

Do you get into a lot of situations where DR & MDR is needed? Up to you at the end though.

Ahh, as for the odds of re-rolling Small Charms ... I found your comment funny how you don't have the patience for that when you are doing a Holy Grail run with what, over 1000 Kurast runs for runes etc. :rofl:

Hey, since you do have a nice Kurast map, I wouldn't advice doing a Nightmare cow run to collect up some small charms though... I use to do this when I got to Hell Act1 and just NM Cow run to collect maximum of 10 small charms, you never know you roll.


Goodluck and have more fun.

You’re right, I’ve come to the same conclusion: +2 MDR won’t make any difference, so I’m using Storm Grip again.
With regards to LK, the runes are a stronger incentive that help me reach other goals; i.e., Infinity, CoH, Beast, and, ultimately, a Sorc torch B)
On the other hand, I wouldn’t feel like I’m seeing the end of the tunnel by rerolling small charms :rofl: What about you, have you ever had any success?


Level 91:


Got this for Ubers, but actually looking for Tal’s Mask (or better) for my merc and Magefists.


Still doing LK runs now and then

Have I had success, pretty much nearly perfect ones, like 3/15/15s or 2/20/19s or 18/3... however, since I use an Iron Frostmaiden build, I also like the Cold damage small charms, especially the Prefix/suffix cold damage for "Slow effect" when strafing, or the 2/18/1-3 Cold damage small charms ... and since cold damage items Stack for "Slow Effect" it is a bonus. also some other elemental or life / mf small charms etc... so many choices, Hence why I like to do it.

Nice, I guess I should give it a try one day, but as a Sorc all I need are 20/5s.


Will wear these to reach 117% FCR in the future


Cool, but what I need is an Ist


Always fun to make cheap Runewords like this
