What jewels to use on my 14 assassin... +9 max's or some rares (listed inside)
I just made a really sexy armor...
(light plate, 91 defense)
Lvl 8
27 max
9 cold resist
and get this... all the jewels are RED! Woohoo! I love matching jewels, looks great, espically red ones!
Anywho.
I have a bunch of jewels left over, and a bunch of stuff still to socket.
I need to socket my hat (i have a crown, but ill probably use some sort of dmg/-req jewel in the clegs, so then only the crown would need 55 Str, so ill wait for a mask there) with 3x 9 max's.
Now, that leaves me with the following:
To be socketed:
Bone shield of Deflecting (2)
Clegs sword (1)
Jewels:
1x 9 max (I will get 2 more if the verdict is use these over rares)
4x 8 max (I want perfect jewels, these will go to merc or another dueler, or both)
3 rare jewels:
6% ED, 4 min dmg, -15% Req
3 min, 7 mana, 11% Dmg to mana, -15% Req
4 min, 4 str, 5 dex, -Req.
all the rares have -req, so I would like to drop one of them into the clegs sword, because it is by far the highest req of any item, but I'm set on using it. (also have a few 5 str larges to help here)
I was thinking this will be best for me: the 3 min, 7 mana, 11% DtM, -req jewel in the clegs sword, its min is only one lower, and other mods are better, making this my best rare jewel. (plus, DtM is VERY helpful!)
Then, I was going to get 1 more 9 max jewel, and use that with the one I already have to make an 18 max BSoD, that lowers my str needed overall by using a -req jewel in the Clegs sword, gives me DtM, plus, the min on the jewel is nice too. In addition, I still use 2 9 maxers, so I dont lose out on damage too much.
I figure, the loss of a 9 max jewel in the clegs is evened out by the fact that I have perfect jewels everywhere else, and the jewel replacing it has some awesome mods.
