Your 5 Best Handwraps

[Roman]

What are the 5 handwraps you find yourself using most often? And if you could only have 1 handwrap (Anything that can actually drop as loot) what would it be?

At what level?

Assuming Late Game... and ignoring the obviously situation dependant Greater Banes...

My most used wraps are:

+3 Weakening of Bleeding (now new and improved with Icy Burst, Frost and Cold Touch)
+3 Flaming Burst of Weighted 5%
+3 Holy Burst of Weight 4% (now with Frost and Cold touch)
+4 Shocking Burst of Weighted 4% (also now with Frost and Cold Touch)
Devouts

Well, Soon to be fixes in RED

Probably, but they will still be nice then, and I had a lot of extra Recipe 3s and 4s... so what the heck.

[Cedwin]

At end game I primarily use

+3 Holy Burst of Weighted 5%
+3 Shocking Burst of Weighted 5%

When needed, I switch to +2 Metalline of PG wraps, which I've added icy burst to.

[Hendrik]

+5 Holy of Pure Good
+3 Metalline of Backstabbing
+2 Holy of Weighted 5%
+4 Force Burst of Maiming

Hope to find Force Burst Weighted 5% to add Ice Burst to, otherwise I'll add it to my Holy/PG 'wraps.

My 5 favorites.






Some of these might seem kinda 'meh' by themselves so included this to put it all in perspective.




I love all my babies!!

And if i could have 1 handwrap. It would be Metalline of Greater Evil Outsider Bane, which i have yet to even see a screenshot of. =(

[FunkyGoose]

I pretty much only use two sets of handwraps for most stiuations apart from ones with undead as i have a disrupting staff thing
My metaline handwraps (i think +1 of crippling) which have frost
and my non-metaline handwraps - +3 Force handwraps of Bleeding, with frost
i find these work on most mobs quite well

Oh, and then theres my
+1 Weakening of Enfeebling
and my
+1 Maladroit of Bone Breaking

[ezgoezit]

I have a long way to go before I can even come close to getting the wraps I need, but here are those ones I have that I have found most useful so far:

- +4 para wraps - I started with +2 and upgraded along the way. These made Vale Slayers sooo easy.
- +2 weakening wraps of enfeebling... Once I got these, my beholder problems decreased signifficantly. The first month I tooled around in Amaranth, I used the %5 weighted until I started using these... For some reason, these work out better.
- %5 weighted. I forget the prefix on these. They are great in the high lvl stuff I do
- +4 pg of holy burst
- .... wraps of greater x bane... I am still missing a few of these. They are a pain to find and I never see any decent ones on the AH.

More than anything I want a +2 (or better) transmuting of PG so I can put the frost icy stuff from the games and force on them, but until them I would just settle for scoring a pair of the devoted wraps.

[Impatiens]

Since I mostly do raids now I find myself using my Holy of Greater Lawful Outsider Bane wraps the most. I wish they were evil outsider bane instead, I'm still looking for a pair of those. I also use my holy of greater giant bane pretty frequently when farming Prey on the Hunter for more Tempest Rune which will undoubtedly not give me what I want on my DT

Other frequently used wraps include: Flaming burst of pure good with icy burst and force rituals on them, weighted 5% wraps, Maladroit of Pure good wraps (need to put icy burst on those).

If I could only use one pair of handwraps I'd probably go for the highest enhancement bonus transmuting of pure good that I could find. Too bad nothing like that is ever listed on the AH, even though it can technically drop...

[Persnoody]

Hmmm aside from bane wraps...
....lets see I use:

+2 holy burst of bleeding, with frost and icy burst
+1 acid of 5% weighted, with frost and icy burst
Devout wraps, with icy burst
+5 force of pure good, with icy burst
+2 improved cursespewing of bleeding, with icy burst
and a lil bonus +2 force of greater construct, with frost

I got them all from chests or end rewards, except the hb of bleed, and since the winter games I've been adding cold to like everything lol, I use them pretty evenly, really it's all you need =D

[Fafnir]

I have some metalline of PG wraps which are randomly generated. Is there a reason not to put Icy Burst on them? Or is there a solid reason to? Having frost on my holy/pg wraps that don't bypass devil DR, I see that frost is immune anyway.

I would appreciate input since the Ice Games are concluding soon.

[Persnoody]

Well when you add the cold/frost/icy it doesnt take away from dmg, just adds it, seems to be a good enough reason to add it.

It won't work on devils, it's true. Are you using those wraps to fight other mobs as well? If you are, sure put frost on them to make them more all purpose. There are very few mobs that frost heals, so the worst that would happen is it doesn't damage them. If you are only using the metalline of PG wraps for devils then you might as well not waste the money.

[Crashproof]

I'm just level 7 so far, with a 28 point build and no older characters to finance me.

But I'm doing fine so far with +2 acid handwraps -- they blow away my previous +4 maiming.
