Diablo 2: The Brother (And Sister)hood of EoFF

Suffix: of Freedom, Requirements -15%

Arreat says so.

Gentlemen, keep your eyes peeled for a 4Os shield, ANY 4Os shield.

Ok, another question.

Do you think it wise to use a Jewel of Freedom on Natalya's Shadow to take the level requirement down from 73 (or possibly two, it has two sockets)? Furthermore, do you think it wise to use the socket reward from act 5 on Natalya's Mark, and then use a Jewel of Freedom on that to take the level requirement down from 79? Or should I just wait it out and use the sockets for something better?

I never use any sockets to lower the requirements on equipment. I think they are there for impatient players for the most part. I know it's tempting now to use a socket to lower the requirements, but just think, once you gain those levels you can put that socket to much better use.

The other option is to use a socket to lower the requirements but remember what the original requirements are. Then once you've reached the original requirements, use a Hel run to clear all of the sockets and put something better in.

Sine his asn is level seventy-some already, he won't really be going anywhere unless he does a Hell Baal run. However, it's probably a better idea not to have to use a Jewel (or Hel for that matter), run some games, and equip it when you can. You save Hel, the Jewel, the time invested, and can put something better in, if you are going to put something in at all (lol ptopaz).

For the most part, I don't really recall "minus to req'd" as stackable.

Then again, I'm all for Baal runs and impatience.

The set is for my martial arts assassin, who is only level 50 right now in nightmare. I guess I'll just wait it out. If I unsocket and resocket the armor I'll lose one socket, so that's out. But I might do it with the weapon if I find it early enough, because that doesn't have a socket in the first place.

You don't lose any sockets when you unsocket. You clear the sockets, you don't remove the sockets from the item. So if you have a 4 Socket Armor with some of the sockets filled and you don't like it, you combine the 4 Socket Armor and a Scroll of Town Portal and a Hel Rune in the cube and it removes any items that are socketed in the 4 Socket Armor, leaving you with an empty 4 Socket Armor.

SRL, when you can, I'm going to need a NM Baal, because of your monster MF.

Thanks for the info mulley, I have a few Hel runes on some of my other characters, and I come by a -15% requirements jewels every once in a while anyway. And I also wouldn't be wasting the socket reward if I socket the weapon. ......I don't know, I guess I'll think about it.

Tav, if not this afternoon, I'll definately be on this evening. It depends on what I do for my lunch break.

Magic Boner is now level 44, and begining the second quest in Act II

As of this point on, Mulley is no longer allowed to xfer with me, because Blizzard hates it most when he actually drops more than a few items on the ground in an attempt to move items. He is punished by losing said items by disconnection of said "me."

Also, we are moving games, because it would seem that Blizzard is keeping an eye on us. Probably something to do with the xfers and frequent logging on and off of said "me," so, from this point on, all games should be held in games that represent some letters of your name, with the same password. We should stop using eoff/trout. I will mostly be playing in nuke/nuke.

My APB for Natalya's Odium items is still in place. I now have the armor and the boots, I just need the helm and the weapon. Also, if anyone comes across a 4 socket Partizan (yes, specifcally a partizan), I would be most ablidged if you save it for me (if you don't need it yourself).

Nominus, I'm assuming you are in nightmare mode?

Wow, I dumped a bunch of those in a NM Cow game.

Anyways, I'm on now.

CORRECTION: I was on, then b.net kicked me off.

APB:
4Os shield, preferably of the Monarch type (lowest str requirement)
Anything with +Resists or +skills for me
Anything with +Necro skills (basically, anything that doesn't suck), for Mulley

Yes

Nommy Nommy/yumyum
That's my game name and login.

*considers recruiting people*

I need to get rid of my items.

EDIT: SRL, I found that 4Os Partizan you wanted.

Yay, I'll be on tonight. Lunch is ruined due to rain and my gel not polymerizing in a timely fashion.
