What +skills can u find on staffs and whats the max?

Nightmare cows. Played a few pubby games and wasn't really looking for any thing special and something just said.... Pick this up. So I did.

Hmm, cows here i come Cows is actually still a nice source for any kind of normal sockted items :thumbsup:

i've been NM cowing for ages, i almost never see a staff drop :'(

I haven't shopped myself... but I have seen many staffs with +3 to lvl 24 skills on him... sadly never ES! Grrr... plus, a wise man once told me this... maybe I'll go shopping a little, save you the trouble of proving me wrong! Haha.

If you buy it from Drognan, the staff cannot have 4 sockets

Put your mf to 0 and go do hell cows. LOTS of socket items.

Occys fine! It's just that there are couple other weaps for sorcs that are much better than occy, and that lil 25% chance to cast lvl 1 teleport when struck annoys the hell out of basically everyone...

Could be extremely useful in pks though when stunned by smite or mindblast.

Hi all, I was wondering if from what I read, this sounds like the best set up on an orb sorc using fireball?

Orb (magical)

+3 fireball
+3 mastery
+3 fire skills

I can see as Uzziah said this is very rare indeed but it is actually possible right ?
Would a +2 mastery be more commen ?

Many thanks in advance, Xaulior.

Occy is still a very good weapon.... +3 skills, etc. I used a faceted one for my blizz sorc, and love it (would prefer HOTO or Good Fathom, but too poor )

:
+3 To Sorceress Skill Levels
+5 To Mana After Each Kill
All Resistances +20
25% Chance To Cast Level 1 Teleport When Struck
30% Faster Cast Rate
+20 To Vitality
+20 To Energy
+20% Enhanced Defense
50% Better Chance Of Getting Magic Items

That is about all you can want... FCR, MF, VIT, Res, skills, and you can usually get it for pul (or less, if lucky)
Socketed with a nice jewel (RES, other stuff, facets, etc.) it can be really nice for budget sorcs (budget = doesn't have 2-4 High runes on mules )

Sure thats a tier 3 and a tier 6 both can drop together and both have a 10% chance of getting shifted to the appropriate tier.

You always have a better chance at +2 instead of +3 for a staffmod I don't remember the numbers exactly but is something like 60% +1, 30% +2, and 10% +3. The +X is not dependant on skill, tier, ilvl or anything its a completely random chance. The only time where clvl would influence the +X would be with an imbue where the clvl is added to the random number to get the adjusted number. A clvl 99 imbue will "ALWAYS"(I use this term carefully as I have never had a clvl 99 character to prove this with) result in 3/3/3 staffmods.

Back to the Memory Staff....
Where is the best place to get 4soc 3ES staff? or staff 3ES capable of having 4 socs?

Lots of staves, wands, and orbs drop in cows. They can rarely drop from the weapon stands that you find in Tower, Durance etc.
