Baal GCs So I got a Baal GC the other day. I was in a hell baal run, he dropped it, I snatched it. So I know that it definitely is a Baal gc. I id'ed it and it was pretty worthless so I kept it for rolling. The first time I rolled, within 6-7 rolls I got a Barb warcries skiller which I gave to my roommate since I'm not a big fan of Barbs. That was the an NM Act3 gc because I heard those were good for rolling. The second time was about a week and a half ago. I picked up another NM Act3 gc [around the Great March as last time, because that's what I was recommended from these forums] and I had about 70-80 pgems. I rolled with all of them and got nothing. Zilch. So I figure I was pretty lucky my first time getting one so quick, am I right? So now with the Ball gc, I see a great opportunity to roll. I had about 27 pgems so I rolled 9 times. Again, nothing at all. My question is after these 9 rolls is it still a "Ball GC"? I know there's something about the ilvl that has to do with it, but how can I tell that? I mean, it's required level has changed many times from each roll. Does it currently have the same potential to roll a skiller with another mod as it did right after it dropped from Baal?
Thanks for the quick reply, does anyone happen to know the chances of rolling any skiller? How many pgems should I throw away before finally stopping? And finally, I assume it's best if I keep this one for all future rolling, am I right?
me personally, i save up about 600 pgems (7 full mules worth), and then ill go to town on the gcs i have put away. i keep the ones from diablos chaos sanc, and from baal minions, and baal himself. i can usually get 6-8 skillers from 600ish pgems. usually you can hit a skiller at about 25-30 rolls, but sometimes you get one that just doesnt want to roll your way. me... i keep rolling on it until its something i want to keep. (all tho i haev rolled skillers back to back rolls, 2 times on different days, so far!) 13-15 all resists i keep, 120+AR/20+ life i keep as well. for me, i scramble for every fgem i see. in baal runs, i take my pally to chaos. no one there to challenge me for any unique drops or fgems. finally, i keep anything that might be useful to someone else when i MF (which is almost daily), and i just trade stuff for pgems.
skillers arent all you're looking for .. in fact if you get a bad one like barb mastery/combat, necro curses without a godly 2nd mod, i would reroll it if it was a baal gc. things to automatically stop for: a mid-high value skiller with 20+ life, 6 str (6 dex on certain ones), 7 frw, 12 fhr. 100+ ar/30+ life or 130+ ar/20+ life, 130 ar/12 fhr i would guess goes for a lot, as wouold 130+/6 str probably 10 max/65+ ar/30+ life or 10/65+/12 fhr, 7 frw, 6 stats, etc. 15 res all/30+ life anything worth less than what a baal gc is worth, you should reroll. on east ladder, baal gcs are um each so any charm you roll = um+ in value you should probably keep.
The ItemLevel (Ilvl) is 99, which means it can get an affix with 40-45 in the * of vita range. For a complete listing of affixes check here. The point is rather lost on me though, a UeberDiablo GC would kick ass, with up to 50 hp Come to think of it, what's that 10 hp going to do...
It's the highest level charm that can be dropped in the game. You could roll it into a pally combat with 45 (i think up to 45...) life, good luck finding that on another gc. I work about the same as Sharaz, except I don't mule my pgems, I just roll as I get them. I trade off all kinds of stuff in games for pgems that net me much better deals because the common bnet kid doesn't realize that pgems have value. ex. i have traded a shako for anywhere between 15 and 40 pgems. There is no way anyone here would pay 40 pgems for a shako. Instead of selling those mid-uniques to charsi for gambling gold, sell them to pubbies for gambling pgems! ~Bails
