High level Charms, what to look for.

I've read through some of the stickies about charms but...

I'm not clear on what to look at...

I've started cubing some and it seems the suffixes and prefixes go up and down in quality dramatically.

So for examples
Is this worth cubing over and over, My supply of pgems is good but not amazing

Iron Grand Charm
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 23
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 85
Fingerprint: 0xa7bad27
+83 to Attack Rating

and also what are you looking for in a charm beside skills, resist, and MF

for instance would folks go googoo over this and I should keep it to trade or should it be cubed for something better.

Snake's Grand Charm of Vita
Keep in Inventory to Gain Bonus
Required Level: 83
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 99
Fingerprint: 0xc854cbfc
+42 to Life
+25 to Mana

Thank you in advance for any help.

Sorry, didn't mean to paste the same one twice.

Re: High level Charms, what to look for.

where did you get the charms from?

The only charms worth your time are those that dropped from Baal in Hell.

Skillers(with mods, like life) and Life+AR GCs are worth the most.

@raveharu- ilvl is 85, so it's not from Baal, but from a pit-like area.

I am not sure, but Iron prefix is pretty lame. Even if you need AR, Steel Grand charm gives up to 132 AR.
Personally I keep (grand charms):
Fine GC with +10 max damage (or with good 2nd mod)
Scintillating +13-15%
Skillers
Serpent's (50+mana) with good 2nd mod

Where good 2nd mod means
Life
FHR
FRW

MF on grand charms is topped by small charms.

I disagree. Having a tiny chance at a few more points of life is not worth having no skill charms. Only rolling baal charms implies you are gunning for a 41+ lifer, which means you should be rerolling otherwise good charms.

If you are rolling a baal charm in order to get a charm that you will actually use, and you get a skiller with no life, do you stop rolling? No of course not, and the chance of getting a 41+ life skiller before you get a skiller is vanishingly small.

On bnet, you can get a big pile of hrs for a high life skiller, but Freyr is on single player.

Also, diablo/nihlathak grand charms are just as good as baal gcs.
