Staff question

Staff question

I'm looking for a War Staff that has +3 ES and at least +1 Chilling Armor. Now I checked the diabloii.wiki and it looks like War Staves get 5 sockets from larzuk as long as the item lvl is 25 or below. Now I think Flayer Jungle would be the best place to hunt for a staff like this, but my question is this...

A: Can a white War Staff from Flayer Jungle spawn with +3 ES and +1 CA?

B: Will the staff mods change if I larzuk it?

C: Will the staff mods change if I roll sockets in cube?

Re: Staff question

Both energy shield and chilling armor are part of the same staffmod Tier (Tier 5), so are both capable of spawning together. That said....

A: Can a white War Staff from Flayer Jungle spawn with +3 ES and +1 CA?

No. These staffmods are in Tier 5, and as a result the ideal ilvl to get them is greater than 36 (staffmods will start in Tier 5 with a 50% chance of remaining there). It's still possible to get them if the ilvl is between 25 and 36 too, but with a lower chance (staffmods will start in Tier 4 with a 20% chance of increasing to Tier 5). You can't get them if the ilvl is less than 25 since the staffmods will automatically start in Tier 3 with no way to reaching Tier 5.

B: Will the staff mods change if I larzuk it?

C: Will the staff mods change if I roll sockets in cube?

The staffmods should remain when adding sockets to the item.

Re: Staff question

Good info

So it would seem my best bet is to mf for white War/Rune staves in NM and roll sockets in cube... am I right?
