Necro Wand upgrade question..

Necro Wand upgrade question..

Is it possible to upgrade the Exceptional Unique, Black Hand Key Wand (grave wand)?

Is this item considered a weapon?

Is it a good idea to upgrade it to Elite Unique status?

Thanks

Can be upgraded, but you woudlent want to. It would just bump up the weapon damage itself and the lvl req, and most necros dont hit things... espically with that wand

You should only upgrade a wep that you actually will use for physically dmg - whether melee or range... most necros... this is not even a choice to be made unless your one of those crazy melee necros (far and few between)

there are no melee wands. NEVER EVER UPGRADE A WAND!

I think what everyone meant to say is that only the coolest most uberest l33tzor pwners upgrade their caster weapons. Upgraded ethereal Oculus anybody?

Last time I checked, double-upgraded ethereal Torch of Iro could get you 20-24 runes. I paid 40 sojs for mine.

Considering most of Battle.Net rushes to later acts where they leech xp they have not seen Torch of Iro at all. If you upgrade it twice it would confuse a ton of people and you could probably scam someone saying it was hacked. What is funny is that it's always the botd/enigma/hoto/cta wielding characters that have no real sense of DII knowledge. They can own you in a duel, but tell em to find Khalim's Will and they will scratch their heads and eventually call their friends for the Durance of Hate Level 2 Waypoint.

Must...have...upgraded...torch of iro! Too bad it wouldn't keep its unique appearance, that would throw people off even more.

Shoot, if you got a character with the level requirement and the spare Pul and Lum laying around, I'd upgrade it. If you die with it you're going to lose it anyhow. Last season I upgraded an Occy just for the helluvit. And guess what, died with it on and lost everything, no loot as usual when PvMing.

That's the difference between HC and SC, one you upgrade just for fun and the other you don't because you get called noob. I think McSaladshaker upgraded some Frostburns all the way to Ogre Gauntlets last season.

hell ya id upgrade it, if u have the spare runes

last age when i actually had some wealth to my name my necro used upgraded arm of king leoric lich wand and perfect 40% chance guards vambraces upgraded twice....its all about the secksiness dude and in my opinion well worth the required runes

also had a sorc with up'd occy and lenymo spiderweb sash(until i finally found arach)...and another pair of twice up'd chance guards....only 39% though...i think she also had 47% war traveler mirroed boots too(was waiting for 50% but got impatient)


lol, what can i say... iwas bored, had some spare lum and ko runes(lots of those, traded for the other 2 i needed pul and lem??) and i crave the seckiness...not to mention the extra defense and melee damage of course

I was trying to trade for one of those ALL last season.
I was offering SS for one (I was done playing by the time botting caught on so SS was worth a bith still) and couldn't get =(
People kept trying to trade me ethereal ones saying I could get the runes easily, and I kept telling them that wouldn't help me accomplish my goal of being SO stylish that I spent my wealth trading for one.
