Crafts >>>>

So should I just work on getting sacred or quiet crafts on everything or are some of my equipment best in slot?

Azurewrath builds work (tried one on a windform barb and maxed Vitality. Ended up with 30k windform, frozen orbs and icebolts flying everywhere from boarfrost, plus had 70k HP)

Good luck getting Azurewrath though. I think 1 dropped last season.

Got one in sp so that is my current build I am using wish it dropped in ladder now never knew it was that rare. I just started playing in sigma. So still pretty new I don’t play ladder cause I travel for work and my WiFi almost always sucks.

Stepped sleeper boots are super useless for that setup. Don’t just scan the su and sets for the most op stuff. Crafts and honorifics and rare rings and stuff can be very valuable.

Ok thank you for the tips I am new to the whole crafting side of things. My thought on sleeper was because it helped minimize my str investment and still had cold spell damage.

Yeah

Buried Hawk
Atomus
Tyreals Might
Azurewrath
Storm Blade

Those are the items that took me the longest to find in single player, even using a drop mod at one point. I picked up 101 Sacred Ancient armors before I got a Tyreals. I think it was about 80-90 SU crystal swords.

Since Storm Blade, Tyreals and Azurewrath both have 3 SU variations, I feel like they are harder to find.
