Caverns of Ice - Attaining Maximum Statistics

The Foursome
Attaining Maximum Statistics

Jarulf's Guide listed the maximum possible stats and other information such as maximum armor class and so on, but failed to state the equipment needed to attain such stats. This has certainly been done before but anyway, here are some of the numbers i have crunched out (with aid from a post made by LaRouge long ago). Unless otherwise stated, the data provided is for Diablo Classic only and NOT Hellfire.

Basic Statistics

Note that these are simply setups which give the maximum possible scores in the respective statistics while totally neglecting the other statistics. As such, other than that for magic, they are in general inpractical setups serve only to amuse the user.

Strength Modifiers
Helm of Giants Armour of Giants One-Handed Weapon of Titans Shield of Power Amulet of Titans Ring of Titans Ring of Titans	+20 +20 +30 +15 +30 +30 +30
	+175

* The Gotterdamerung gives a similar +20 all, and can replace the Helm of Giants in the setup.

Magic Modifiers
Helm of Sorcery Armour of Sorcery Dreamflange Shield of Brilliance Amulet of Wizardry Ring of Wizardry Ring of Wizardry	+20 +20 +30 +15 +30 +30 +30
	+175

* The Gotterdamerung gives a similar +20 all, and can replace the Helm of Sorcery in the setup. However, the strength requirement of the Gotter might prove to be a hindrance.

Dexterity Modifiers
Helm of Precision Armour of Precision One-Handed Weapon of Precision Shield of Accuracy Amulet of Perfection Ring of Perfection Ring of Perfection	+20 +20 +20 +15 +30 +30 +30
	+165

* The Gotterdamerung gives a similar +20 all, and can replace the Helm of Precision in the setup. However, the strength requirement of the Gotter might prove to be a hindrance.
* Use of a Bow of Perfection will yield only +30 compared to the +35 from the shield-sword combination.

Vitality Modifiers
Helm of Vigor Armour of Vigor One-Handed Weapon of Vigor Shield of Vim Amulet of Life Ring of Life Ring of Life	+20 +20 +20 +15 +30 +30 +30
	+165

* The Gotterdamerung gives a similar +20 all, and can replace the Helm of Vigor in the setup. However, the strength requirement of the Gotter might prove to be a hindrance.

+ All Attribute Modifiers
Gotterdamerung Armour of Stars One-Handed Weapon of the Heavens Shield of the Moon Amulet of the Zodiac Ring of the Zodiac Ring of the Zodiac	+20 +11 +15 + 7 +20 +20 +20
	+113

* The Gotterdamerung has several disadvantages (in particular 0% resistance) and is not favoured by some people. As such, an alternative would be the Helm of Stars, which gives +11, for a total of +104.

Life Modifiers
Helm of the Whale Armour of the Whale Shaeffer's Hammer Shield of the Tiger Amulet of the Lion Ring of the Lion Ring of the Lion	+100 +100 + 50 + 50 + 60 + 60 + 60
	+480

* The Fool's Crest gives slightly less than +100 hitpoints due to the -4 to all it gives.
* Warriors can use Jewels of Life (+30 vitality) to replace the Jewels of the Lion as they get +2 life per vitality.

Mana Modifiers
Royal Circlet Armour of Sorcery or Naj's Light Plate Dreamflange Shield of Brilliance Dragon's Amulet of Wizardry Dragon's Ring of Wizardry Dragon's Ring of Wizardry	40 / 10 0 / 20 20 / 5 50 / 30 0 / 15 60 / 30 60 / 30 60 / 30	mage + 60 + 40 -- +110 + 30 +120 +120 +120	rogue + 55 + 30 -- + 95 + 22.5 +105 +105 +105	warrior + 50 -- + 25 + 80 + 15 + 90 + 90 + 90	bard + 57.5 + 35 -- +102.5 + 26.25 +112.5 +112.5 +112.5
		+600	+517.5	+440	+558.75

* Bards are added simply for personal interest. Stats does not include Xorine's Ring.
* Naj's Light Plate and Armour of Sorcery gives different maximum stats for different classes with warriors benefitting more from Naj's.
* Error in Jarulf's Guide? Calculated value for warriors yield 538 max mana compared to the listed value of 533.

Combat Statistics

The below setups give the maximum possible combat statistics such as to-hit, armour class and -damage taken.

To-Hit Modifiers for Melee Weapons
Helm of Precision Armour of Precision Strange 1-Hand Weapon of Heavens Shield of Accuracy Gold Amulet of Perfection Gold Ring of Perfection Gold Ring of Perfection	+ to-hit -- -- +150 -- + 30 + 30 + 30	+ dexterity + 20 + 20 + 15 + 15 + 30 + 30 + 30	overall + 10 + 10 +157.5 + 7.5 + 45 + 45 + 45
	+240	+160	+320

* Strange weapon of Precision would of course be ideal but cannot be generated as Strange (ilvl 60) is too high level to go with Precision.

To-Hit Modifiers for Melee Weapons
Helm of Precision Armour of Precision Strange Bow of the Heavens Gold Amulet of Perfection Gold Ring of Perfection Gold Ring of Perfection	+ to-hit -- -- +150 + 30 + 30 + 30	+ dexterity + 20 + 20 + 15 + 30 + 30 + 30	overall + 20 + 20 +165 + 60 + 60 + 60
	+240	+145	+385

* Strange Bow of Perfection would of course be ideal but cannot be generated as Strange (ilvl 60) is too high level to go with Perfection.
* Weird Bow of Perfection is not bad too, with +100% to-hit and +30 dexterity for a total of +350% to-hit.
* List does not include built-in class bonuses.

Armour Class Modifiers (excluding naked ac)
Warrior (Str > 90) Gotterdamerung Awesome Full Plate of Precision The Defender Godly Shield Amulet of Perfection Ring of Perfection Ring of Perfection	armor class 60 187.5 5 60 -- -- --	dex bonus + 4 + 4 -- -- + 6 + 6 + 6	overall + 64 +191.5 + 5 + 60 + 6 + 6 + 6
	+312.5	+ 26	+338
Rogue (Str = 55) Gotterdamerung Awesome Full Plate of Precision The Defender Godly Shield Amulet of Perfection Ring of Perfection Ring of the Zodiac	armor class 60 187.5 5 60 -- -- --	dex bonus + 4 + 4 -- -- + 6 + 6 + 4	overall + 64 +191.5 + 5 + 60 + 6 + 6 + 4

	+312.5	+ 22	+334

* Use of One-Handed Weapon of Precision gives +4 ac and offers better prospects of a good prefix.
* Other setups comes close (such as Ring of Engagement which gives +5 ac).
* Error in Jarulf's Guide? Calculated values for each class yields 1 more point of ac. Perhaps The Defender had not been considered.

- Damage from Enemy Modifiers
Helm of Osmosis Scavenger's Carapace Wicked Axe Amulet of Health Ring of Engagement Ring of Engagement	- 6 dfe -15 dfe - 6 dfe - 1 dfe - 2 dfe - 2 dfe
	- 32 dfe

* Fool's Crest can yield -6 damage from enemies as well but seems to pale compared to a Helm of Osmosis.
