Potential for Crafting?

well my hc pally is going prettymuch untwinked and i sorta like to play him that way. I checked the recipies for crafting caster weapons and it doesn't seem that you need all that much. So i'm thinking of making a 'crafted' hammerdin or do anyone think i should keep to uniqs or maybe mix them.

edit: i've pretty much given up on runewords since it takes too long to collect the runes. Also just wondering... does crafting work with ethereal items?

later on, craft caster amulets like a mad fool, on bnet i got one that i sold on ebay for 30 bucks just a little bit of an indication of how good they can be

One word of advice: crafted items often have extremely high level requirements (higher than an equivalently powerful rare would be), so you need to watch for that.

i don't know about caster words, but i've had luck with crafted blood items, so i say give it a shot. also, be on the look out for possible lower rune words- smoke (nef lum) doesn't help fast cast, but the resist bonus and def vs missles helps, or it did for my sorc in early NM. Stealth is darn cheap (tal eth) and gives 25% faster cast amongst other things.

just something to consider...

Tal and Eth make Stealth....

Caster rods are an unbelivably great way to boost mana... if you try it with Scepters you might even land one with +Conc/+BH, which would be really great.

You can craft with ethereal items but they will come out non-ethereal.

Everything I crafted sofar was lousy, tho at lvl 27 I shouldn't have been surprised. I didn't try crafting yet with my high levels, since i spend all the perfect gems on rerolling charms with no success sofar. I think I'll give it a shot or 50
