Recommend me something to do with my Vex

After 3 weeks of evenings filled with farming I got a Vex from Hell Cows.

My Blizz Sorc currently runs

Perf. Shako

Perf. Vipermage

Spirit Phaseblade ( sorry its' most liky crystal sword since I only have 70 dex, I keep mixing these up)

Spirit Monarch

Perf. Chance Guards

War Travs.

Amu is FCR Res/Res/Res

Belt is also mostly Res so nothing fancy.

So I guess I should go for a +2 amu and something like Snowclash/Arach? Anyone knows what a Maras will cost?

If you’re on PC I can give you a 4 open socket flail. They’re going to waste anyways.

Hoto is always a good call with a vex

I agree. Vex can buy you a Arach, but you will loose resistances and Hoto will give that additional 1 to skills and resistances as well.

spirit in a phase blade on a sorc? excuse me? So many wasted attributes!

as for sorc Hoto is nice but personally I wouldn't use a vex on it if you planning on staying sorc, since hoto aren't BiS for them and occu is so easy to come by.

however if you are planning other caster toons it's pretty dope. But adding up and getting a CTA would be a far better bump for your sorc. It will get you +1 skills, so you'll end up with the same as hoto (while still using a spirit in a phase blade cough). it will however boost your mana and HP by a lot, and are basically the best boost to your merc for survival as well.

HotO is one of the best things for Sorcs, Necros and Hammerdins, Crybarbs too I guess.

Phaseblade Spirit

nonono, you do not need all that Dex

Maybe try your luck for a tal armor? Then get lucky and buy a Tal amy down the line and run the 3 tal piece combo for a TON of MF while neting a high resistance on all but poison?

Best buck for vex is making hoto. Any char can use it

Why don't people use the ettin axe?

1
MrBlizter•

Because berserker axe has more ranger (2meter range vs 1meter in Ettin axe) and also berserker axe is faster. Worth it for 2 point damage loss

Thank you

You can use an ettin axe. It’s more damage but slower and less range. For death I wouldn’t use an ettin but for something like oath it’s totally fine.
