Description

I got a decent Protectors Stone to drop very early on in my character (70ish) and just assumed it wasn't that hard to get and that I would get more an better ones. So I threw it into my Vipermagi.

I now have an Enigma and haven't even found enough statues to get another chance (lvl96 now)

Am I a friggin idiot and boned now or is there any worth at all to an upgraded Vipermagi with a Stone in it?

Can be used to make Runewords:

First of all, upgrading a caster item like
Skin of the Vipermagi
is not going to increase it's value because casters don't need the additional defense, and increasing the strength requirement is a net negative to any caster build trying to invest the least amount possible into the strength attribute. Second, while the jewel does have some trade value socketed into an item, it's going to be a fraction of it's value compared to when sold seperately.

This of course is assuming it's a 35 all res vipermagi, otherwise why invest such a valuable jewel? right?

not good to upgrade it.

physical Stone and vipermagi

can use in very early
Teleport
amulet amazon/bar/paladin

but from any view, I dont see why people use it that way

Please be aware, all my trade is in non ladder d2r. Not warlock.

Well, from my point of view it is not completly useless. In one of my fav Maulbear setups I am utilzing a vipermagi. The reason is that the FCR is great for shockwave. If you have no FCR on the build shockwave is just painfully slow. I would love to have such a jewel in my vipermagi for this build :-)

An ES Warlock who doesn't have Enigma (or doesn't want it) could take great advantage of this armor/jewel combo.

Will buy any 3 minor keys for an
Ist
- message me.
Will accept statues and keys instead of rune payments for my trades.

Upgrading viper is absolutely worth it.

Wyrmhide
still only requires 84 str which is far less than e.g. a Spirit
Monarch
and easily covered by nearly every caster build anyways.

So all it does is add free defense. Which doesn't do a lot of course but better than nothing.

As for
Protector's Stone
..why? :D What build are you running that wants a phys jewel in a viper?
Not saying there aren't any but that is niche AF. :)
