Nice one. I think crafting chests is really underestimated - they're almost for free (no mats needed besides Demonic Essence and tomes, making them the cheapest of the 1.07 recipes), always high DPS (200+ int is nice compared to almost every other chest and only trumped by Tal Rasha chest), so just wait for a good EHP roll like yours. Congratz!
Basically everything I crafted was better then mine ... amu and trifecta gloves (pretty high tbh!) are really nice
Boosted my dps by 100k in 1 single day. Think the crafting might be a lil too powerful :x but Im not complaining ... I just ... well, all those slots are doomed to become worthless. With like 40essencies and around 7 mil gold spent in crafting I crafted items worth few hundreth milions.
Edit: Ah, bummer. 75k vs 150k gold. Ouch, I have to say I completely neglected the amount of gold. How much are Tomes on the AH these days? I was just thinking about mats, not overall cost. Whoopsie.
Haha... set bonus. Nice. I've heard of them. You know, we wizards didn't quite get any. Except for the 4 piece bonus if you're running an AP-heavy build, the wizard set bonuses are a freaking joke. I have 2 Blackthorne items for 100 vit, 2 Zuni items for 130 dex, I even have 2 Nat items for 7% crit. Tal 2pc bonus? 3% fire damage... I don't know anyone using fire damage skills at all :-(
Yeah heh. I never understood the design of the Wiz set bonus (2 and 3).
Atleast you get to use other class bonuses to compensate a little.
But my point was anyway that Int users will stay with TR chest for stats, but other classes care about set chest for bonus, not for the stats so much (no special stat), except for special circumstances
I think they were forced to gimp one set since there are techically two possible sets for the Wizard to wear: Zunis and Tal's. I'm not number crunching theory-crafter, but I get the feeling they needed to make it so that wearing a combination of the sets didn't make the Int classes ungodly better than any other class.
For example, Tal's armor offers increased attack speed, and the belt CC, if you made those two pieces offer the player 130 INT, then you might see the problem.
OTOH Zuni's chest offers way more EHP. Plus the white looks really slick.
I think piece by piece Tal's is better, but the overall set bonuses Zuni offers is better. Getting the full set bonus for either set isn't too shabby, 2 more AP a second could be argued to be a substantial DPS boost. While Zuni's of course has it's own WD thing going on.
I think it would have been more interesting to just throw in a large bonus to a single skill to the Tal's set much like they did with Inna's Sweeping Wind. Sure, not everyone would use it, but it'd be flavorful, and at least powerful to someone. Such as Meteor costs 30 less AP.
Crafted 132 ammys and only one had two out of three trifecta stats - rolled IAS and crit and an abysmal roll at that.
Until....
So I'm not sure how much gold was ultimately used to get this craft - however - it was totally worth it and significantly cheaper than trying to buy this from the AH. 22k dps increase and a 6k life increase. Lost 50 resistances, but I can deal.
303 dex
130 vit
39 lightening res

Wise ElderNot if he screenshotted it from a chat tooltip or armory. Don't think the AB shows there.

ModeratorHm, I'm confused: Archon Spaulders of Intelligence vs Archon Armor of Intelligence? 10 vs 2 Tomes?
