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?

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

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...

Well, Soon to be fixes in RED

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.

[DrakmireTS]

General purpose: +5 Maladroit of Deception
Ultra-specialized: +5 True Law of Greater Dragon Bane (+Icy Burst)
Devilish stuff: +3 Anarchic of Greater Evil Outsider Bane (wish it was holy, but eh)
Epic non-red named: +5 True Law of Weighted 4%

Ideal would dependent on the target...Holy of G. Undead Bane, +5 Shock of Weighted 5%, Holy of G. Evil Outsider Bane, Elysidia's LaserFist of FlamingBear LaserFisting, etc.

[MarcusCole]

+4 Holy of Bleeding (icy burst)
+3 Force burst of bleeding (icy burst)
+2 Vicious of Weighted 5% (icy burst)
and for undead
+3 Force burst of PG

wish I could find a set of holy weighted 5%'s but no such luck

[Taimasan]

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

[sinedist]

Complete Collection of Greater Bane Weapons (these can all count as one, right?)
+3 Metalline of Bleeding (overjoyed when I saw these in my end reward list)
+3 Shocking of Weighted %5, Icy Burst, Frost, Force Critical
+5 Anarchic of Evil Outsider Bane

And a personal favorite of mine,
+5 Shock of Greater Construct Bane. I just wish it were viscous.

These are pretty much all I ever use, save disrupters, smiters, banishers.

[truetrue4]

Devout - for devil stuff
Holy Burst of Undead bane - undead weapon
Seeker of Greater Giant bane - reaver fate, anyone?
Maladroit of Weighted 5% - epic/general
Weakening of Greater Elemental bane - it works against epic elementals...**** their high dr...

[phalaeo]

I only have one level monk (Cleric/Monk multiclass), but I'm enjoying anything "of bleeding" for mid-game stuff.

[Jakarr]

I like my +1 Weaking handwraps of Weighted(5%), along with a Icy Burst

[Auran82]

My monk is only level 6 so far, but using +1 Holy Icy Burst of Bleeding and have some +1 Icy Burst of Weighted 5% for level 10
