Is this item good for LLD? [the official LLD item thread]

Let me know if you are willing to trade that ring Vandemar (not for a caster though )

I like the fissure helm and to be honest would take it over a peasant crown. IMO fissure druid needs the dmg. Sure it is missing 2sox/fhr/nice life that would make it very valuable but sox it with a shael / perf skull and it is definitely useable. Rep life is capped quite low for lvl30 can be picked up elsewhere (think spirit shroud, the psk in the helm, an amulet/manald or rare (if you dont go SoJ)/belt.

 

Hey all - Hi All!
Just dropping by to recognize one of the Greats at work

 

It's a decent melee ring. No caster would use it

 

I disagree. Angelic combo for melee, this for caster.

 

No, melee chars use rare rings for rep and mana, casters don't use angelics lol, they use a +1 skill 40 life / mana / rep amu (or as close as possible), this ring is lacking the fcr mod for casters. Since 18's have 40 x 15/7's they often use manald for the regen if they don't need fcr (I.e fissure) and fcr rings if they need the breakpoint (i.e 75fcr bone necro)

good example of lld chars: http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=70784029&f=103

 

Those lld chars in the link are seriously badass. Would not have wanted to cross him with my lld char...

 

Just saw that LLD101.com went down in 2014, RIP, my old friend. I feel like the best day in my D2 life for PvP was when I ran into someone who recommended you to me. Some of the most fun I've had playing this great game came as a result

PS. Hooray for the wayback machine!
