(5-10)% Faster Cast Rate
Regenerate Mana (4-10)%
+ (10-20) To Mana
This is the only way to get a 20% fcr amulet - roll a 10% base mod and an "of the Apprentice" 10% affix.
Having such an amulet is necessary for many 'perfect' builds. Hammerdins need it to use HoZ and still reach 125% faster cast whilst wearing a Stone of Jordan, for instance.

Also, I have my skellies/mastery/CE maxed. And the 1 point in all the other thing's I'd use. So now I don't know what to do with my skill points. I have 7 and can't decide where to put them. But I want my Necro to take over MF duties from my Sorc.
I had the same problem - I put a bunch of points into Dim Vision, and I'm glad I did. The radius and duration are both huge now; I cast it once and it basically hits the whole screen. Very helpful for taking hoards of archers/Gloams/Succubi/Demon Imps out of commission until my skellies can get to them.
I put the rest of my points into prereqs and Revive, which you may or may not want to do. I'm not really a fan (I don't like time limits on my summons, makes me feel rushed), but I can't argue with how useful it is to have a bunch of Urdars with stunning/crushing blow hits, or Abyss Knights (they're just cool).
Now I just need a teleport staff/amulet (or Enigma hurr hurr).
I believe this is the "perfect" amulet, maybe swapping resists in, but I think the dexterity saved is more important.
+2 Paladin Skill (Priest Prefix)
+20% FCR (Apprentice Prefix on top of the 5-10% FCR)
+30 Strength (Atlas Suffix)
+30 Dexterity (Nirvana Suffix)
Regen Mana 10%
+20 mana
Weirdly enough it doesn't have to be 20%, mechanic-wise: 15% will do, since the last breakpoint is 125% and hoto+circlet+magefist+arach+ring will necessarily provide exactly 110. Those items can't vary in FCR%.
So the excess 5% has exactly no effect.
but people will pay a lot for a shiny number, I guess.

which is unfortunate
Can I give you stuff that I find/gamble to trade on d2jsp?
I don't really have the clout for people to trust me.
Neither did I until a few days ago man, you just gotta start with small trades and take some risks. My first 10 or so sales all involved things like 4/5os flails etc.
But yeah, I can throw stuff up for you.

I have two 5 OS flails and random other crap. I also do not have nearly the time/care to check the damn thing for someone giving any cash.
Also if people actually responded to whether my LLD crap was crap or not would be useful since I have a bunch of that shit laying around with no responses.
How do you rate d2jsp vs. dii.net (now diablo.incgamers.com)? I've always used the later, but it seems to me forum gold might make things a whole lot easier compared to muleing constantly. I suppose I'd be hosed if I started over there though (I have a decent rating and whatnot at diii.net).
Oh, I forgot I need a merc as well. What do people put on their mercs for armor? Shaftstop+Andys or Vamp?
ISO: (in case anyone feels charitable)
Tal's Set
Magefist
Trav's
Spirit Monarch
Spirit sword
Low Str Req Insight
Shaftstop (or eth armor, Stone maybe)

How much do you think a 35% FCR 148 Defense Spirit Monarch should get me? Max defense on a monarch without being superior. I'm hoping for something good out of it but don't know a ballpark figure to ask for it.

I think the FG concept is good too, but I prefer diii, at least for smaller things. I couldn't really say why, it just seems like an easier/nicer place for pgem/mid rune/single hr value trading.
If I were to trade something really valuable, I'd consider jsp.
Also if people actually responded to whether my LLD crap was crap or not would be useful since I have a bunch of that shit laying around with no responses.
Did you actually post the LLD crap here? The thread moves pretty quickly, but I don't remember seeing anything. Most likely it is crap, but it won't hurt I guess. The big level requirements are 9 and 30, but there's others as well such as 18 and 49.

D2JSP
Pros: Lots of items for sale for cheap (bots!), currency that can be used between ladder seasons (Danorc sold a Ber or Jah during the beta that helped to fund a lot of his gear now)
Cons: Full of idiots, owner is a thieving idiot, buy/sell threads move quickly (I have gotten some good deals by searching for an item I wanted during peak times since everything moves so quickly)
Merc: Treachery (Shael+Thul+Lem) is a great runeword armor to use, you can put a Tal Hat on top for some quick leech as well. I usually go eth bugged Treachery+Leech hat+Insight for my sorcs. Andy's/Vamp is certainly nice, but more expensive.
How much do you think a 35% FCR 148 Defense Spirit Monarch should get me? Max defense on a monarch without being superior. I'm hoping for something good out of it but don't know a ballpark figure to ask for it.
Ronya might still be looking for a 35% FCR Monarch. On jsp I see a lot of people selling them, and not as many buying, but prices are around 30-40 for a 35% one.

I'm still looking for it, but I can't give you a good price since I have spirit sets stored up waiting for a time when I feel inclined to do some rolling.
What should I be looking as far as "best" armor for my Sorc? Currently using Vipermaji, which should hold me over no problem till I have an upgrade. I was thinking Chains of Honor (i might be thinking of something else though). Also, try getting HotO as a weapon eventually.
+Skills - 14 (15 to fire skills)
FCR - 115
FHR - 75
Fire Res - 115-135
Cold Res - 150-170
Poision Res - 150-170
Lightning Res - 152-182
And a bajillion mana.
You might as well go for the CTA as well at that point, since +all skills boost it and you have a bunch.
+2 Shako
+2 Maras
+1 CtA (on switch)
+2 Spirit (on switch)
+2 Chains of Honor
+1 Arachnid
+2 SoJs
+1 Anni ?? That was missing, you can get this much earlier than your CoH/SoJs
So +13 all skills, lv. 14 BO (lowest battle order roll) isn't bad. I'm running with the Tal Set and the only +all skill I've got is the +1 from the Anni, so a CTA is worthless. Went with a ist'd baba on switch instead.
e: No need to cham the Shako, at best with the cham you won't have to walk slowly in town. Being frozen doesn't affect your FCR, so you can still tele away.
ee: Fixed the +all skills, you won't get the +3 from HotO due to switch.

I'll figure out the rest of the gear I want for my Assassin later.
I believe enough to see if it's "sellable."
The question then is to find the buyer, which is much more difficult.
Dual Leech rings still popular?
I've got one for you. It's on the low end though.
Also, I think this got lost.
I just traded for a 4os Monarch, if you want that in trade for your Bartuc's. Or I have the runes for it, I can make it into a spirit for you.
But if you want to give me something that I need, I wont complain.
I'm still looking for it, but I can't give you a good price since I have spirit sets stored up waiting for a time when I feel inclined to do some rolling.
You could sell it, I guess.
EDIT: I feel like Zen, posting a whole bunch.
Check how much FCR and FHR you need with your endgame setup, first.
Its cool, I don't expect hand outs so I'm fine with trading you something you need for it. Just let me know when you'll be on.
