Boost AR?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

There is the Act 2 merc but otherwise, how can I get decent AR? Not sure
all points into Dex would do the job and I will miss some points for life...

There are some charm but what are the best? What is the highest AR for a
small charm I can expect? I know there are some rings too...

Thanks

A weapon with Enchant charges (Demon Limb) or items with CtC Enchant
(Obedience, Lava Gout) provide a huge AR boost. Due to the long duration
of high level Enchant you don't have to refresh too often.

Small charm: +36
Large Charm: +64 (32/slot)
Grand Charm: +132 (44/slot)

Ravenfrost: +250, +20 dex

Don't forget the ring from the Angelic set:

Angelic Halo
Ring Required Level: 12
Replenish Life +6
+20 To Life
+ (12 Per Character Level) 144-1188 Attack Rating (Based On Character
Level) (2 Set Items)
+50% Better Chance Of Getting Magic Items (3 Set Items)

Of course, the ring doesn't have many of the 'niceties' of Ravenfrost, but
it's better than a Nagelring for MF...

Regards,

Patrick.

Good advice from everyone above. Also don't forget Eth runes in weapons
for -enemy defence as well as skill or item based -enemy defence.

Chat kind of char is this? My enchantress is using a rare flail with
the "Fool's" Prefix. That gives +16 AR/LVL (and .5 MAX DMG/LVL). Using
that (and lvl 21 enchant) she has almost 7,000 AR at level 51.

Well it all depends on the Character Class that you're going to build
really. Dexterity is your best bet for it and depending on the class i
believe depends on the benefits from dex much like energy does with
Sorcs/Necros. Amazons would benefit best from dex i would guess. They tend
to rely on dex based weapons.

I've seen small charms with 4dex on them. Don't know if they go higher than
that. Large go upto 5 i know that.

What are you going to build?

Noting all of the above, if you get your AR really high using those methods,
and you want to get it insanely high, I found tonight a "Visionary Shako" or
some such title -- just a blue item with one mod: 1% bonus to AR per
character level. I would have sold it without second thought, but I kept it
for you or anyone else interested. I suppose if you get the AR as high as
you can conceive, then you can get really crazy with something like this at
higher levels. But who would wear a blue hat at high levels? Hmmmm...
Well, anyway, leave me a note if you can use it and you're on USEast SC
ladder. Or, you may look for me online, account name *DjinnMaker1, 2, 3, or
4.

A FurySin and I was looking for each of the 5 blades seconds to hit the
target...

I'm on Europe.. and true that a blue hat in high level would not be the
best option... 1% per level is not that much also, if you have 2000 at
lvl50 and put the hat, you'll bet at 3000.

If you want blades to hit, try an ITD weapon. When my BF assassin got to the
proper level he switched to a lightsaber and used that till he retired. With
ITD all that factors in is the difference in level between the attacker and
defender.
