    6 Perfect Skulls + 1 Rare Item = 1 Random Low Quality Rare Item of the same type
    You can use this formula to get another chance at a Rare Item of the same type. ilvl = int(.4 * clvl) + int(.4 * ilvl) Player level matters. This formula will not work on items larger than 3x2

    Why would anyone do this? It sounds like it ruins a perfectly good rare elite item.

    For the socketing recipes, it says

    "1 Tal Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Topaz + Normal Body Armor --> Socketed Body Armor of same type "

    Does normal quality mean just white? Or only the low level versions? Like, can I socket an exceptional armor as long as it's not magical?

    The latter.

    It can't be superior, or already socketed either.

    To be clear, I think it works on exceptional and elite armors, the "normal" means white and non-low or -high quality. Ethereal should also work.

    You can repair low-quality/cracked/crude items using another cube formula; this has the occasionally useful property of setting the ilvl=1 (which affects the number of sockets possible).

    Are edamage% jewels worth anything these days? Picked up a 39%/+13-43 fire damage. Shame about the suffix, but hey.

    Also, picked up one of those 'almost there, but falls short' amulets with 19 pdr/8mf. If those two stats had been maxed or close to it I would have been a happy camper.

    Bugged an eth Great Hauberk and threw duress in there since I only got 3 sockets.

    2525 armor with only 160% enhanced defence on the duress...

    Edit: for comparison, the 200% normal is 1254 armor.

    The defense you can get from doing that is very ridiculous.

    I made a Fort for my merc, and it ended up having around 3200 defense.

    Tonight was productive, and sleep deprived. Took my druid from 1-73 today. I have no life. Along the way I picked up an Ethereal Colossus Voulge, socketed it and rolled a level 16 meditation aura Insight in it. Found an Atma's Wail, a 19 life Small Charm, and a spare 4os CV if anyone wants it.

    At 73 now, my Bear druid is running around using Lightsabre and Stormshield and its working pretty well in NM Act 5, haven't gone to Hell yet. Tomorrow. After I sleep.

    I'm worried about blocking on my Phoenix Strike assassin. Some guides mention weapon blocking as being problematic, as you'll get block locked. Will the same hold true with a claw/shield setup - does the blocking function in the same way? I never really played much with the charge skills before.

    There's no real reason for me to go claw/claw, so claw/shield might be a better option anyway, but if I'll get shafted either way, I'll go dual claw with no weapon block. I can live without a shadow too.

    EDIT: Well, claw/claw is obviously nice in that it can reach 2 charges with one 'click', but you can live without that.

    I think shield blocking has a shorter animation, maybe. Claw blocking can block some kinds of spells though. I forget which charge of phoenix strike is the bread and butter one.

    My merc is still using a regular Polearm Insight, so I could use it just for the extra damage if no one else is in greater need.

    meteor and lightning are pretty standard, you should max out both synergies. With a fast claw like nats you can really throw down a lot of meteors. I'm pretty sure I used a shield on my ps sin because there's no reason to dual wield like, ever. Unless you have a really good + to skills claw or maybe jade talon resists.

    Be advised that your merc will need 210 strength to equip a non-eth colossus voulge.

    Yeah, I've got the build down, I was just curious about the blocking/block lock issue.

    There are some minor perks to claw/claw, but nothing that can outweight a really good shield - which is often easier to find than a really good secondary claw.

    BahamutZERO: Yes, that might be right, about the speed. I think claw blocking is locked at a certain speed and you'd basically have to wear Guardian Angel to boost it. If I go with a shield I'll probably go with a beneficial one and mostly ignore blocking, though.
