Should I put eth or shael in GF?

Iplay pvm only and my barb uses ww, not zerk or frenzy. I know Ohm or 40/15 jewels would be better, but can't afford em. So I only need the answer to be "eth" or "shael". CB has fps breakpoint with ww in 18%Ias and 44% ias...

Well, it will jump from a 8fpa to 6fpa, 1 hand or both.

I wouldn't really socket a shael though. a 15% ias jewel is better, I mean, 15% ias with any mod is better than no mod at all...

15% Ias would give the same result, by the way.

Eth is way better than shael, when I socketed my gf with a eth it like its the monsters so much more, I think its a bug.But the sword is so slow it doesn't really matter lol.

Eth is a bug, and I don't think the monsters have that high of a defense in 1.09 to be a problem.

If you are Sword/Shield, (meaning...you will have DEX for max block) then Eth is not needed. If you are two-hand (which then I would wonder how you could survive) with pure strength build, then Eth can benefit a lot.

Are you sure that 15% ias and 20% will give the same result? I thought 18% was the fps breakpoint...:O

I use 2xGF, so my dex isn't that high, my chance to hit in cows is about 78%. I'm at work now, so can't tell exact numbers, roughly only. My str is at 195, and vit is at 245, so i got abou 1450 life now. 125 unspent points, thinking should i invest in str or vit. I do 4.6k ww dmg with might merc.

So as i see, it's 1-1 between shael and eth now? Anyone else got any opinions or got some more arguments for either one?

Well, assuming you want to be legit, if you want to be *truly* legit, you wouldnt exploit the Eth bug.

Well that's not really my biggest concern Tho, if i was to be 100% legit, how would I get enemys def down without socketing eth? And Mantralord, did that comment mean Eth would be better choice?

Yes.

the eth bug is no big deal people always wine about it like little brats

umm 4015 ias is not that hard to get just 1-2 32020s but if u cant eth all the way
