Crafted Items

What are useful crafted gear for what builds? I currently have a Hammerdin and am thinking a great crafted paladin amulet may be better than Maras.

 

Amu and rings

 

Yes, these are the "classics" - caster amulets and blood rings (where "caster" and "blood" indicate the recipe).
Aside from these, people also, ocasionally, craft blood gloves (for CB + life leech, useful for melee builds and/or mercs); hit power gloves (90+% for 2bow 20ias + knockback - pvp bowazon); caster / blood belts and boots, quite rarely.
These are "mainstream", mostly amulets and rings.

 

Well to be quite honest i would only run fcr rings/fcr amulet if you are running zaka.
in my opinion the cost of all rez for the amulet and the cost of +1 skills from rings isnt worth it since you hit the right limit with hoto spirit and arach.
but again people have different opinions, for sorc those items can be very usefull since you can hit insane breakpoints with 20 fcr amulet and 10 fcr rings.

 

There's the Shako + Hoto + Arach + Trang / Mages + Spirit 35fcr base build, and from here you can go 1 fcr ring + 2 pal / PC 10+ fcr amu, or 2 fcr rings and mara, whichever suits you best. LE: here you can go with a 20fcr amu and 2 non-fcr rings (soj + bk, 2 of each, raven, whatever).
And there's the other, with Hoto + Arach + Trang / Mages + HoZ + 2/20 helm second base build, and from here you can go with 2 fcr rings + amulet with 5+ fcr, or 1 fcr ring a 15+ fcr amulet.

Choice is up to you.
