Some questions

Here are some questions. Please answer if you can.

1) Is Goldstrike Arch worth upgrading ?

2) What would be a good end-game avenger weapon ? (no BotDs please)

3) Is Head Hunter's Glory useful for anything ?

4) In the lvl 85 areas all normal monsters are mlvl 85. Is this number used when calculating to-hit chances and experience penalties ?

5) A Valkyrie spawns with rare equipment. Can this equipment have +MF mods ? What happens if it does have them ? What about shadows and iron golem ?

6) How many times an hour does Durf get blamed on average ?

1. mmm... a perfect GSA gets +53 max damage when upgraded, for massive increases in Str/Dex requirements. On paper I don't think it's worth it but someone with experience actually using one may know better...

2. Anything with high physical damage... a Cruel <elite item> would be good. Crafted Blood Axes might work well too. Of course there's a bunch of Uniques you could choose as well...

3. High defence, up to 3 sockets, some basic resists... possibly a Defiant paladin or an IronBarb could use it to solve most of their resist problems whilst giving them enormous defence.

4. Yes (similarly the champions work on lvl 87 and bosses/minions lvl **)

5. Yes it can, and if it does then it works on your MF + its MF. Similarly with Shadows, and I'd assume IGs too.

6. Many...

1) I would say it is. Some people even say upped high-end Goldstrike Arch is even better than Windforce against undead and demons

2) Nord's Tenderizer, Djinn Slayer, Cranebeak...maybe Butchers Pupil or Horizon's Tornado too

3) With 3 sockets it can be. Put 3 Pdiamonds into it and give it to sorc to get resists for example. But with less sockets Moser's will beat it

4) Im not sure about this one but I would guess it is so

5) :scratch:

6) I blame Durf for this question

1. Personally, i think it is, most of the monsters in the game are demon/undead and GSA give ed against both making it somewhat better than WF in a few cases.

2. Perhaps Stone Crusher the 1.10 Legendary Mallet? Its got 40% crushing blow, high dmg and -monster defence per hit too.

3. With 3 sockets i'd prefer this over Moser's.

4. Yes

5. I dunno about Iron Golem, doesn't it only have the attribs of the item it was made from?

6. Durf gets blamed hourly :scratch:

The others have already been answered, so I'll just chime in on #6 by saying "not nearly enough."

2. Perhaps Stone Crusher the 1.10 Legendary Mallet? Its got 40% crushing blow, high dmg and -monster defence per hit too.

It could be used too, but wouldn't it be too slow weapon? And -monster defense per hit isn't very useful for Avenger because Conviction will reduce their defense by huge amounts already. But I have never played Avenger so don't mind my rambling here

 

[Sharakorr]

perhaps you're right Lpr, maybe he could use some ias jewels or shael. I've nevered played avenger either so my advice really isn't that valid :uhhuh:

additional avenger weapons: Death Cleaver, Schaefers Hammer, high ED Lightsabre, of course Baranas Star, not to fortget some godly rare
