And come to think of it, your son’s druid is probably better off with that Bonesnap you found the other night. I had completely forgotten that druids like mauls.
Only catch on the Bloodletter is that required level is 30, so it might be a while before your barb can use it. But that’s OK. And I think that the IK helm is the most common piece of that set, so don’t get too excited, but it is nice.
As far as runewords go, one of my dream items is a Memory staff with a natural plus to teleport and some ice armor or another. That way, I’ll be able to put all of my useful non-fire skills on my weapon switch, without having to waste any points on them. But it seems unnaturally hard to find four-socket staves… Drognan never seems to have any, even though he carries Gnarled and Battle staves.
Evil Death, I’m not sure I see what you’re saying about the Angelic set. You’re filling two weapon slots, all your jewelry, and your body armor just to get 140% magic find? You could easily get 96% on the armor alone from four topazes, plus whatever you’ve got from jewelry and weapons. And I’m not sure why you’d want to use two angelic sickles… Even with the set boni, the damage is still pathetic, and you could get set boni just as easily from having one sickle and one of something else. For that matter, I’m not seeing any life steal on the Angelic set, either… Are you maybe thinking of Cathan’s? Indeed, Cathan’s ring isn’t too shabby, early on before you see the better life steal prefices.
