Poll: Worst Ormus' Robes Skill

[:1]Over my Diablo 2 playing career, I've had some horrible luck with skills on Ormus' Robes. I don't think I've ever had a "good" skill. Today I got a Frozen Armor and a Thunderstorm, which I guess are useful for prebuffs, but I doubt you'd want to wear them as regular gear. I once had an Inferno.

That got me wondering ... what is the worst possible skill to find on Ormus' Robes?

I'm torn between Inferno and Blaze, though I think you could make a pretty strong case for several of the lightning skills as well.

Discuss ...|||Blaze. At least Inferno can provide synergies, but Blaze does absolutely nothing.... Inferno can also make you look like a Venom Lord.

However, you can still make a build out of Blaze. Well sort of. So then Static Field would also be a really bad mod.|||Skill bonuses on items do not give synergy bonuses.

Out of the listed ones telekineses is the worst skill to get on your ormus imo. Since you're getting teleport for sure you already have telekinesis, so the only thing you gain is a pitiful amount of extra damage on a skill that you don't actually use to inflict damage in the first place ...|||Quote:

Aye but even telekin has its situational uses. Like blizz sorc vs cold immunes. The extra damage to telekin will still help, even if its really small. blaze has no uses at all, its just bad. Im gonna say enchant would be a pretty bad one too unless ur speccing for it.|||every skill except for enchant and ES because who would want to go out of town wearing that thing?|||Quote:

I consider telekinesis the worst of the poll alternatives "in general all builds considered". It never saves you a point* nor is there a build where it is either decent or stylish to use such an ormus.

Sure a telekinesis robe is better then a blaze robe on a blizzard sorceress, but this small victory doesn't compensate for the rather big loss the telekinesis robe would suffer when they're compared on a blaze sorceress imo.

Ormus robes with:

• cold armors could be = 1-5 points saved


• static field could be = 1 point saved


• teleport could be = 1-2 points saved


• telekinesis could be = +3 telek damage*


• warmth could be = 1 point saved


• inferno could be used on a niche build


• blaze could be used on a niche build

*: I assume that all builds who might use ormus robes and can cast telekinesis will also still want to have teleport.|||Quote:
