Rare re-rolling fun?

Rare re-rolling fun?

I was meandering in the Arreat Summit, soaking in some more of the 1.10 information so I don't have to visit it everytime I get a new item (lol). Then I realized after a few tiny computations and reading up on the prefixes and suffixes on rare items, three of the most desirable mods (for melee chars) seem to be only ilvl 56 or so.

I need someone to check my math here on that 6-skull recipe.
clvl 99(0.4) + ilvl 99(0.4) = ilvl79
clvl 70(0.4) + ilvl 70(0.4) = ilvl56
clvl 43(0.4) + ilvl 99(0.4) = ilvl56

Cruel, master's and quickness are available at ilvl 56, right? Most of us farm H Pindle or Baal, easily giving us ilvl99 items. So we should be able to reroll three of those mods, right? And being able to reroll rare mods up to ilvl79 is pretty nice. I'm taking a guess here, but it seems by the time you're in A5 (or even A4) hell, you'll be hi-lvl enough to the reroll hi-lvl rares on the way.

For melees, this lets us reroll any 3x2 weapon with 450% dmg, 40IAS and mechanic's for 2 sockets! Put in two Ohms and you've got 550% ED, or Lo for 40% deadly strike!
I also want to know if it's also then possible to roll +1 to class skills and then +2 to skill tab, on one amulet.

This recipe now has new meaning to me! :drool:

You are correct, but the chances are very slim of getting something that you want. Also, that recipe requires 6 perfect skulls. That is a lot of perfect gems and it is even worse when it is one select type of perfect gem.

This isn't possible since all the +skill affixes are in the same group, which means you can't get more than one of them on an item.

Another good set of items for rerolling are circlets, as their special magic level boost partly negates (or, in the case of Diadems, totally negates) the ilvl reduction problems.

Also, one of the big bummers is the fact that you cannot get ethereal status on the weapons (even if you put one in there), because of the reroll. That is where the big damage comes with rares.

Not sure if I read this right but Pindle will only give you ilvl 86 items, Baal is the only monster that drops ilvl 99. Anyway just clarifying.
