Most under/overrated items

[Heathen]

Overrated- Jitans Kamon for leveling. The elemental damage is negligible unless you have a heavy multihitter like TrapRat.

Underrated- Dragons blood. 15% lvl 30 wrath on striking in melee, nice AoE, and 40% fire/physical/magical spell damage.

Dragons blood>>>> Jitans for most melee builds.

It's just me or that item doesn't exist ? Also you switch your brain with your dick ? Jitan's is far more superior than any other TU armor (except albrecht)

[keitel]

Overrated: Demonic Touch - I dont think 909 str is worth all the stats. IMHO it is better to invest points in other attributes
and Clawfeet

Underrated: Banner of Duncraig and Dryadbark

1) Great procs, excellent defence in comparison with the req, str & dex, TU so its easy to get, many possibilities to tune up
2) almost all characteristics: indestructibile, increased chance of blocking, - fire res & fire spell dmg, bonus to str & dex, and finally elite reanimate (tree of life) with ctc inner fire (which makes him/her nice tanky) and quite goood melee attack

Dragon's Blood Light Plate. It exists. And I would take it over Jitans for a melee build any day.

Bloodzon still will benefit much more from it. Str reqs is the only cons here.

Yep, from the 40% fire/magic/physical and cast rate. Definitely a sexy armor.

For caster Queen of Glass or honorific or Ith rw, for melee/range Jitans/Albrechts

interesting idea about the Mal rw cowking, I've used it for leveling alongside with pul gloves and weapon and was pleasantly surprised by it. what gear did you use to reach that -efr and fsd on the merc? I'm guessing something like qarak's, fawkes rw helm, shedding skin, all is one gloves, clawfeet and rare amu?

It's quite easy to reach.

Qarak = 51-75 + 89 (bloodlust)
Zod helm = 180
T6 scale = 66-75 +4k life
Craft gloves = 100 max (community is better though for 10% DR)
Mal belt = 30
Clawfeet = 50

Gift of the Wild with +5 amu = 56

= +622-655 without MOs/sockets (I like to use nih runes/demonstone) or energy factor. With necro you could get it up to 1k I'm sure.

---

L17 immolation bomb with 5 energy and no spell damage does 237-711 damage per bolt
L18 immolation bomb with 5 energy and no spell damage does 244-733 damage per bolt

This means damage per slvl is +7-22.

Level 14 immolation bomb does 216-645 damage per bolt.

Merc has 250 energy at lvl 120, which is +130% spell damage.

With +700% fire spell damage, L14 immolation bomb does ~110-330k damage per proc. I think marco once said necrobots have 300k life.

If you're a shadow necro and go balls out with +1200% fire spell damage, that would be ~180k-540k damage per proc.

Jitan's Kamon can't be overrated because it's the best early game armor by far.
nice wdm proc + tri ele damage (1,5k avg) + %DR (rare) + best on-death proc in the game
