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

[LunarWeaver]

Chimney, I don't know if you remember, but we were wondering about how good Lycander's Aim would be as an Elite instead of an Exceptional a few days back. I know you want a Faith anyway, but I was testing out the upgraded version in single player using Zonfire for myself and took picture in case you wanted to see the difference.






I also tested out some stuff with boots and kick damage. With the generous lendings of Vietnom and Chimney, I have the entire Nat's Set. I could use this and get great bonuses for equipment none of my other characters will want or need, so I won't have to strip them.

The only problem is Nat's boots are Mesh Boots, which have average kick damage. This is my damage with three tiger strike charges and dragon tail (which my realm assassin is doing) with Nat's boots and the strongest boots in the game:





As you can see, the difference is pretty astounding. The Shadow Dancers minimum damage is larger than Nat's maximum. They have high strength, but I'm thinking they're worth getting. I might have to trade for a +1 pair since they'll be cheaper and I don't care about having "perfect" ones anyway.

And Vietnom was right, you cannot upgrade set equipment Of course, this means I'll have to make a Phoenix Strike assassin for the sole reason of using the full Natalya set. Phoenix sins are fine enough using Dragon Claw to set off their charges, so I won't be worried with boot damage anymore.
