Description

Hey all,

I'm a bit on the fence about it so I wanted some input from the experts:

RNG has given me two
Cham
runes this month and now they're sitting in my stash. What would you do with them, since they're not worth a lot? My thoughts are:

a) Use them to socket a merc helmet: This makes the merc much more survivable without needing to run
Duriel's Shell
as an armor. I can do this even twice with my runes. I could thus switch the armor to a Fortitude and still get CBF.

b) Cube them up to a
Zod
: Either enables me to make a BOTD or put it in an
Eth
item. I don't have an immediate use case for this other than an
Eth
HoZ, but I don't think it's worth the
Zod
honestly.

c) Sell them: Possible, but they're practically worthless.

d) Wait: 2.4 will change things and possibly make both
Zod
and
Cham
more valuable with the new runewords. Not sure if this is really going to be the case. On top, it'll take months until those runewords arrive in non-ladder.

What would you do in my situation? Any cool option I might've missed? Looking forward to hearing some opinions!

Cheers!

There has been a similar topic earlier - forums/got-lucky-a-bit-too-lucky-t764192.html - some people gave advice, it might help you :)

Prices are negotiable :)
Please DO NOT add me, before I accepted a trade or without comment, thanks! :)

I would choose d). There are new runewords that will use
Cham
. They only take up two slots in the stash, so just keep them for a few months, no biggie.
7
I'm going with D as well. Since the announcement of new runowrds (especially those with
Cham
), the price of
Cham
is going up... I bought 4 on the first day for example...

Always been a fan of (a) myself. Frozen mercs are just sad.

And of course (e) see if you don't want to actually use one for runewords for one of your builds/mercs already (Doom, Pride).

After that, move on to (d).

Don't cube to a
Zod
if you don't have a specific use for that one yet. All that does is then hope for a future
Zod
use while removing any potential future
Cham
use. Only cube if/when you actually need it at that time.

Gift one to me so I can
Cham
my Arreat’s Face! Hah only joking. I’d probably hang tight for now.

One in your hat one in merc hat.

Xbox GT: Cinomed541 add me if you need someone to play with.

Would be interesting to see if
Cham
non-ladder value increases alongside ladder value in the coming months. Just knowing that we'll be able to create 2.4 runewords after ladder season is over, I can see demand for
Cham
going up.

I find the 2 new runewords with
Cham
a bit underwhelming.
Not sure how much it will increase
Cham
's value but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Obsession looks pretty cool (
Zod
I know, but still would affect
Cham
demand). I can see this one being an alternative to Heart of the Oak + Spirit combos

Yeah definitely agree about Obsession.

Without doing the math I could see "Mist -
Cham
+
Shael
+
Gul
+
Thul
+
Ith
" as a serious option for physical Bowzones

- +3xx ED
- 20% IAS
-
Concentration
Aura
- No requirement for Razor
- + a lot of nice add-ons (+6 total skills, 40 res, vit...)

really looking forward to compare it to
Windforce

Going a little off topic, but physical bowazon looks promising to start with as a Insight is available with it being a bow runeword for 2.4. :D

I put one of my
Cham
into my my Barb's Arreat, so I could remove RavenFrost and the cold damage it adds. Don't want to shatter my enemies so I can yell at more corpses.

My experience with amazon is a bit lacking but the consensus seems to be
Windforce
+ Faith / Faith + Pride is still slightly stronger for bowazon endgame.
Maybe a new build will find some use for it ?

Colossus Blade
and make a Breath of the Dying

If you offer what I am asking, add me on battle.net for a quicker trade. I'll see the notification instantly if I'm available.

hand that shit. Like others here have said, the price will go up because of the new rune words after the season is done.

It's already going up I think. I've sold one or 2 on here at
Ohm
- people may want the
Cham
for flexibility to make
Zod
and
Cham
runewords.

2.4 Runewords are ladder only.
If you can transfer your chams to ladder, they are still "old chams".
