Best socket for Demon Machine? (Holy Fire Paladin)

Hi

I'm leveling with a

Holy Fire Paladin with

Demon Machine and liking lot

If I want to keep it as my final (bad but fun ) build, what is the best socket for the

Crossbow?

Shael is out as IAS from gloves is enought. And physical damage enhancers are probably not a good choice (as most of my damage is fire)

At first I thought

Eth,

Perfect Amethyst ot

Jah (to increase hit chance)
Or a Rainbow Facet (to increase damage a little)

if u r using a sunder then i guess maxing lit

Pierce ......

No socket give/enhance

Pierce
But, my plan, is using

Razortail to reach 99

Pierce with the

Demon Machine.

I think krathkor meant pierce as in piercing resistances, in order words a facet. The word pierce is used in that context sometimes

you are right...
and he even talked about sunder ...

Big fail for me

I'd suggest putting

Shael and using

Magefist (which will also help with

Charge if you are using that for moving around, like I often do) since their +1 to fire skills does apply to

Holy Fire.

(but about

Charge, I think it is not affected by Cast Rate )

It's not but the mana regen helps there.

I'm going to be the odd one out here and suggest a

Nef rune for knockback. Not the best option by any means, but it's an option.

Hit Power Gloves and socket another thing on the weapon.

Gotta go with what you have.

Nef is definitely easier to roll and there are a few gloves I personally like. (Keeping in mind I'm coming from a sorceresses perspective on

Demon Machine).

I'm looking at it from a convenience point of view myself. I have a couple demon machines lying around. I end up using the one with

Shael n it most. Though I am pretty sure it isn't doing anything at all.
