Greensteel Questions

[techguru]

What should a sorcerers first greensteel be?

What is the max spell points an item can have?
Should your spell point item be on weapon or gear.

Should your 2nd be a HP item?

Potency item?

You can see Alahona's gear in the sig.

Thanks very much

My meager opinion:

1. Whatever item you have room for. I went with goggles and from what I gather that's most common for casters, but it depends on your gear layout and how you want to rearrange it. Just keep in mind any future raid/epic/regular gear you may want to pick up before making it (ie don't make a belt if you want some of the clicky belts from Amrath). Max spell points from GS item is 300 for Sorcs. 100 from tier two and another 200 from tier 3.

2. Spell point item has to be gear.

3. I plan on my second item being an HP item, some may go for a triple Neg immunity item.

4. Potency I carry on a scepter until I can get the Greater Potency 7 rune on my DT (so sick of SOS...). There are a couple necklaces from Amrath that are Wiz 6/Superior Pot 6 as well. No potency in GS.

On my sorc, I made Conc Opp Goggles (150spx2) as my first item, and a 45hp item for my second slot. I also made a GS Conc Opp dagger for my offhand with +3 Cha and negative energy absorbtion.

Popular choices are:

1) spell point item

Often times goggles. Adding at least some charisma skill bonus to this is useful if you are a UMD build. Two popular choices are:

a) sp/immunity 1st tier; sp/cha skill 2nd tier; sp/cha skill 3rd tier (total +5 cha skill); or
b) triple positive or triple air with cha skills on each tier (total +6 cha skill)

2) hp item

This can be any open accessory slot (common ones are gloves, boots, cloak, necklace or bracers). A concordant opposition item is popular here. +45 sp; +6 wis (good for will save); diplo/haggle boost; and the sp/hp regen benefit.

3) some people like to make a +3 exceptional CHA weapon with +6 cha base (becomes a +9 cha item). I'm not a big fan of these because the +3 exceptional CHA can be obtained on a ToD ring, leaving the weapons slots open other things.

4) if you have the luxury of lots of ingredients, it doesn't hurt to make a greensteel dps weapon or two. A good all-purpose one is a triple positive maul. Might also consider a minII two-handed weapon.

Yeah, I chose +3 exceptional Cha on my weapon since im looking at getting +3 exceptional con on my ToD ring. For a sorc, Cha is most important, Con is second most.

But we all have our own preferences. Currently Conc Opp weapons and accessories stack, so make use of them.
