It´s what the character needs at the different times of their career. My most used types (except for those you can buy in act 2 Normal) are: 2-socketed Tower Shield 3-socketed Knout (also look for Crude ones, because they are easy to put 3 sockets in) 2-socketed Cutlass 2-socketed War Fork or Mancatcher 2-socketed lightweight exceptional/elite armors 4-socketed Gothic Plate or Full Plate (in early NM) 3-socketed helms (any)
which items can have 6 sockets(nonethereal)? I still didn't find any... I found thresher,stygian pike,colossus blade,ogre axe,etc. with 5 sockets but still didn't find any item with 6 sockets can 1h weapons have 6 sockets?
I pick up everything a 3soc small crescent became my mid lvl weapon of choice for ages (crescent moon RW) and i currently have a 3soc scourge that im hunting down the last rune for fury...looks likeit'll have nice damage. Ya never know when something will come of use (now if i could only find a use for that 5 socket war axe...) Malachi
If you don't have much wealth, you can also try keeping all white phaseblades/berserker axes and try to cube them for 5 sockets. Those two are the most sought after for griefs and people often pay nice for them.
Not really. 6 socketed runewords are Last Wish, BotD, and Silence, and I can't imagine anyone wanting them in an ogre maul.
Not to change the topic or anything, but what char are you using that Fury Scourge for? I recently found a 3soc 15%ed Scourge and I'd like to use it for something. Another thing to look out for is a 3soc 15%ED Breast Plate. And is a 3 socket Troll Nest worth keeping?
A couple of others worth checking are: White barb helms with 3 battle orders mods that can get 3 sockets...great delerium helm. Necro wands with 3 bonespear or 3 bonespear and 2 bonespirit or any other nice necro skills. Yes 3 socket troll nests trade quite well also
