If I am overlooking something, please let me know

You're overlooking pvp. A good portion of the 2/20 amulets that go for $$$ are used in pvp. These builds are completely different from pvm and the FCR break points are harder to reach. Think jmod with 4x facets instead of Spirit, gg rare belts instead of

Arachnid Mesh.

Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression we are talking about pvm because Felsbestie tested it with Chaos runs.
I never did pvp but I know that there is often used completely different gear than in pvm.

Ya know, if ever they wanted to monetize d2:r again, just start selling a Cain pet that auto-IDs your drops before even picking them up. Not saying I'm for it..but it'd certainly work as a money maker. ^^

Interesting idea! If the pet looked cute, I probably would buy it

My post was more about the two back to back gem shrines which I found interesting and how luck is relative.

I totally agree. Finally I bought an @Res 2-20 Sorc Amulet.

First, I felt lucky, then I started to doubt myself: I spent a big amount of my

Jah runes on it. Was it worth it? Before I left the house I did two Chaos runs. The damage increase because of the +2 Skills on the Amulet is noticable, more than I thought (had a plain 20 FCR Amu before). First run gave my a

Lem rune, second run a

Lum rune. I mean, the value of these runes is next to nothing, but they made me feel lucky again

I think it's a pretty decent amulet considering it hits all the right marks +2 skills, 20% FCR, a little boost to mana and 14 AR.

Short refresher: Click those armor/weapon racks
My favorite shield design with my favorite max rolled mod

Now I know why people like farming terrorized

Andariel...
EDIT: I was so excited about the

Cham that I overlooked Trangs Bracers

Indeed, I am not into pvp. I just want a 200 FCR Lightning Sorc for pvm with as much damage as possible.

Hm, I have still mixed feelings about those GG amulets (especially when considering how "pricy" they are and that my sons would kill me if I spend our JAHs on one )... With my cold Sorc I use a Mara, reach the 105 fcr breakpoint and have all res max (with Sunder Charm). In my estimation the only reasonable upgrade for which I would need fcr on the amulet is by changing my Oculus with

Death's Fathom . But then I also loose a huge amount of mf, res (losing the more res on Mara and

The Oculus) and some life, too - and I would have to compensate that with even more expensive gear like SCs with life, mf (which actually is impossible beacause I already have 7 mf on all my current SCs) and allres . If I am overlooking something, please let me know

I totally get what you are saying. Before going for 200 FCR I had 300ish MF and no issue with resistances. Now only

Gheed's still provides some MF (I will probably replace it by a Lightning Skiller, lol) and I had to buy expensive

Boots, faster cast rings and now that 2-20 sorc amulet with @Res to maintain maxed resistances (I am using Sunder Charm, makes it more complicated). I still need some @Res Charms (some with FHR to reach breakpoint 86, so again a little expensive) to replace two

Um Runes which are socketed in

Griffon's Eye and

Ormus' Robes. Why am I doing this? I love fast teleporting You are not overlooking something. It is just a matter of taste and I like the fast paced playstyle of 200 FCR Lightning Sorceress.

I questioned my decision, because I saw a similar amulet which went for almost half the price .. but in the end it doesn't matter. So thanks, you are right, it is a decent amulet and I am happy to have it

To get back to the actual topic: Today I somehow found some etherial elite armors with no sockets. I put them into the cube and one with higher defense turned out well:

This is the most important line in your whole post D2 is great because it allows people to tweak their characters to fit their preferred play style.

My 2nd ever solo Torch... Almost perfect!

First good find on Ladder 9.

First elite in TZ RASHA TOMBS.

What a beautiful idea, this is.

They aren't 2/20 craftetd but in my opinion came with respectable rolls. What do you think?
