[euscl] Eth Arkaines Valor

Hey, any idea what this might be worth?

Eth arkaines:

+2 skills

154% ed

15 pdr

Ed is on the low side, but perfect skills and pdr.

Does anyone sill use these? Or would CoH totally blow it out of the water?

Still, CoH costs at least a Ber...

Ideas?

Madness|||Too low ed for zealers to care.

Still a pretty sweet drop, but not worth much. If you manage to find a buyer maybe 1-2 Ists seems reasonable?|||I agree with TBC!|||Yup, I figured as much, I'm going to slap it on my merc. I feel it actually has its benefits over CoH, with the 30 FHR.

I remember back in 1.0godknowswhen I had a pure defense barb with this armor and it was godly |||Lots of things have better benefits than CoH for Mercs, since their resists are ridiculous even naked, but nothing even comes close to topping fortitude (which is cheaper)|||well that depends if you want them to kill, or stay alive, or just stand there and give you the best aura possible |||Fort raises a merc's damage so much that with any amount of life leach he can stay alive (except maybe against Diablo and the worst possible boss packs of unleachables, and of course Ubers). A merc with Fort also has max resists iirc. If made in an eth armor (or even better eth bugged) the defense is so absurd that he almost never gets hit, especially if he is running defiance.

Anyway that's enough OT stuff, the point is that Fort is so superior to Akraines and costs only a Lo that even an eth Akraines cant be worth that much, maybe an ist or 2|||Edit: Sorry double post|||Quote:

True, yet arkaines raises the mercs aura, making your char (and him) do more damage. which, depending on what you are trying to accomplish, may be better for your build.|||Quote:

It depends on the stats. You have no idea about how much a perfect eth valor would go for.

I don't really like fort on mercs, but that's because I usually play high damage chars and mobs die like flies. Only end bosses takes longer, but mercs are really gimped vs end bosses so only crushing blow will help you out here. I like treachery on my mercs. I haven't had a forty merc since 1 or 2 year and it's not because I can't afford it.
