Best socket for Demon Machine? (Holy Fire Paladin)

Description

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)

Can be used to make Runewords:

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

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.

But, in the end, would probably be better get Knockback from a 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.
