Lucky Drop of Astramentis
" I just posted 2 with comparable stats for much cheaper. Int is simply a scalar for dps and ehp that can be off loaded onto other affixes. IGN: Arlianth

It is nothing big deal, just freaking rare.

" This is true. Every attribute has some nice gems behind it for nearly every build; saving on passive costs here can really pump up your damage or EHP in other nodes. It's a bit more versatile than just 93 int (second post by Nephalim) plus 45 str/dex. A bit like Tabula Rasa in that respect. Of course, also rarer. Need game info?

On a solid WI build, astramentis actually reads
- 116 all stats - 4% inteligence Which a rare amulet cannot achieve. Some additional things to note - the str and dex +30 clusters at the top left/right can be transformed to highly efficient intelligence nodes. Which can only be done if you managed the basic stat requirements for your gems already. - free's up points/gear stats that would otherwise be required to reach min investment for gems. Intelligence scaling depends on the total amount, so a few additional skill points or % increases quickly add up to value's like +150 additional int total which is not a tiny amount for builds that rely on the total sum. A rare might be better if it rolled perfect all stats to boot allowing the gem min requirements to be reached and if it had some really beneficial mods on it like WeD, but even then you lose out on the 4% int roll which is an exponential increase. Peace, -Boem-

Gz on discerning the virtue gems nemo \o

I bought a 92inter with ~45 res for 5c once. Sell that POS and learn woop system for rares.
Oh and you can add 20% ES to it usually too if a prefix is free. Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep#3474 on Jan 18, 2017, 7:14:53 AM

Didnt realize ppl were still using those. WI builds usually converts to fire these days with pyre .. HOWAs are using WED rings.

I'm "proud" owner of 1 off perfect Astramentis (15/100), which I got from 5 for 1 prophecy (I'm hoarder so I store all uniques, currently have 7 or 8 stash tabs and only now I sell duplicates to vendors).
I have low geared HOWA raider, who greatly benefit from Astramentis. Those 2 rare necks posted earlier are solid but nowhere near damage potential and utility of Astramentis. They are cheaper alternatives when you compensate lack of stats on other pieces of gear. If you get ideal gear and build, you will focus on INT and Astramentis would provide all the stats needed to run gems + huge damage boost. Would I be willing to pay current price for near perfect Astramentis? No way but I would not pay 40+ C for those 2 necks either. |

" some do, some don't, just answered your question regarding where those 4% could come from :) personally, once the league is over and my char goes to standard, I do plan to use one perandus signet (legacy with 3%) and pyre |
