Worth making runeword?

Hello,

sorry for the noob question but would it be worth making a runeword out of "Kraken Shell"? if so what runes in what order?

You could, if it is the only thing you have, and you have enough strength to wear it. Go to diablowiki.net and look up runewords for armour, it will show you what is possible and which runes to use.

You have four choices for that armor: Bramble, Chains of Honor, Fortitude and Stone.

Assuming you have the runes for any I would say either Chains of Honor or Fortitude is what you want to use. Personally I would go with Chains of Honor as that is useful by all types of characters while Fortitude is normally used only by builds that rely on physical damage.

That said, I wouldn't use that armor, the strength requirement is too high for most characters to take advantage of it. Try to find an Archon Plate or other low strength elite armor to use and then you'll be able to use the armor on multiple builds.

It depends on your other gear.If your needing to get your str to say 150+ then since thats a high roll of a Kraken(range-417-523)it might be ok but dont go spending 50 stat points just to wear it when you could do a few cow runs for much lower req armor with similar defence.Archon has the best def/req ratio.

Also I would not use some of the more elite RWs in it period as it will lower the resale value.

Like the other guys said, try to find a Archon Plate or a Dusk Shroud. Much lower strength requirement

Or if you really like the looks of it, you could put it on for aesthetic reasons. Nothing beats originality.

Karken shell need quite a lot STR and it's a medium heavy armor, so you will walk/run little bit slower. I wouldn't do any RW with high runes in it...

It goes good with a barb. I hate seeing barbs running around in light armor. Your meant to be a melee char, and an inyourface one at that. Wear armor that supports that.
