Musings on A2 Poking Device

I think this item warrants a punched hole. Possibly with the Shael rune. What are your guys thoughts? Arioc's Needle for ref

Congrats! perfect ED and ethereal, that's a trophy. You can consider putting an Ohm or a nice ED jewel in

Among the cheaper options, Amn is maybe the most useful, because it frees up your merc's other gear slots, so you could run gface or Cure for example. Shael (on its own) gets you to the next Jab breakpoint, but not the next normal attack breakpoint--doesn't seem that useful imo. Eth can help your merc hit more often, if that's an issue

I would go with an Amn for now, and consider boosting ED with a jewel or Ohm later

Or if you are looking for something a bit different, you can Zod it like me and build a Spear pally

Spear pally what!? Don't know what that's about but will investigate. Thanks for your feedback @marl71 !

I talk about it in too much detail here: forums/off-meta-zealot-t1413907.html

I made a WW barb back in LoD days wielding a +4 Arioc's Needle (with 225 ED)
I Shael'd it
(but I didn't really have enough high runes to just use one of those, it was all SSF)
