Is a Pus Spitter worth keeping???
Don Bruder
Just picked one up this morning, using (in an amazingly appropriate
unusualness) my level 75 necro (Who's on the verge of going after NM
Baal, once I get up the motivation to wade through the WK from the
waypoint again).
The +2 skills makes it look interesting, but the thing is, being a
crossbow, I'm going to have to drop my "switch head" if I want to use
it... Not really a big deal, since that one only gives me a +1 revive
(and the wand is basically just a "placeholder")
My "main" weapon (a wand I can't remember specifics on at the moment -
it gives me a +3RS and a +2 something else I forget, plus some other
goodies) and head (a REALLY nice Rhyme that started out as a superior
two-socket with +2RS, +2SR to go along with faster/more block) ain't
going anywhere for the foreseeable future - they're just too good to get
rid of.
Also, what should I do with a mule that's got a stash literally stuffed
full of PGems? 48 of them total, and except Amethyst and Topaz, there's
no less than 8 of each color, with at least 6 of the two exceptions. No
skulls of any flavor, though - I haven't bothered collecting those.
Anybody wanna make me an offer? Drop a note with time and place...

Either trade those pgems away for other tradeables, perhaps runes? I see a
lot of people selling Puls or Ums for a few tens of pgems, it probably
depends on the realm you're playing on what the going rate for a Pul or Um
in pgems is...
Or use them up in rerolling items, for instance Grand Charms found in
Hell, hoping for a nice skiller with +life.

As for 'Pus Spitter'; I've found a few, and I think I've traded all of
them away for a few pgems at most, if/when I found someone who wanted to
use it (no idea what for, but hey, that's not my problem. ;)

Good for a poison necro, if you play one, otherwise it's a collector's
item.

While I'll admit that anyone can make a mistake once, to go on making
the same lethal errors century after century seems to me nothing short
of deliberate.--V.

Err, how is it good for a poison necro? It doesn't boost their poison damage
itself...sure, it has +2 skills but you can get the same from sucide
branch+lidless which also gives you lots of other mods(not to mention you
can get a lot more than +2 from weapon and shield slot). Plus it's not a
dagger so it's useless with pois. dagger, and any poison necro will have a
hard point in Lower Res(and with gear, will be at higher than level 1) so
the chance to cast lvl 1 lower res is actually not an advantage either.

It's junk. I've never heard of anyone using one, except early in SP.
