Thread: The TRUE value of acklay hammers...
I know 25 or so mind cost before seems minimal, but it adds up so fast... With a 13 mind cost acklay hammer (all the ones ive seen are 13) i can spam headhit3 all day with two brandy instead of two bradny and a muon or a canape.
also the min damage makes a much larger differance than most realize.
Ackaly bones adding to min damage is very nice and i belive it is the only normal drop that does this. Too many people just look at the max damage and move on.
The speed hurts alittle but when you get your tapes up to 90 or better the speed becomes alot less of an issue. (although i dont cap unless i put on my +5 banolier giveing me 95 Speed but most times i wear my pack unless i am ni the Vette or against a dragon)
normal core stats are in the 40/40 range so subtract those numbers from your bones and add wht is left tothe normal stats of the powerhammer that the smith makes.
Keep in mind that speed will be in the 6.0 range (vs 5.3) and ragne mods around -38 to -40 (vs -24 from the smith that made mine)
