What would you?

I'd choose items that couldn't get socketed, some were stated already. Belts, boots, gloves, and jewelry.

Anything better than War Travs, Arachnid Mesh, or SOJ? I'm thinking probably War Travs would be best because they're the definitive MF boot as well as not being horrible for PvP maybe? I dunno... Anyhow, you could put Ums, Rainbow Facets, Ists, or 40/15s in them--very versatile.

6 stockets botd with runewords botd stockets on it again!!! god that pwn, also eth deathcleaver socket it with botd... botd eth deathcleaver, that's the best melee weapon in game!!!

Well, if a weapon has 6 sockets, and its area is 8, you can only add 2 sockets to it.

Also, you can't make a runeword out of anything that's not a normal item. Remember Iths? Ever wonder why they didn't make a silence of the already silence weapon? It wouldn't work.

So, you can't make a BotD unique. (Otherwise, you could make a Kingslayer Rune Master.) Just doesn't work that way.

bob eth deathcleaver only take up 6 space. Fine, eth deathcleave with 1 zod, and 5x40/15 ias still the best melee weapon be out there!

Ops, nvm since botd cb can take up to 8 sockets maybe it will be the best if it sockets with 8x40/15 max jewels...

If it were BotD plus jewels, it would only have 2 40/15s in it.

ok nvm, then the eth deathcleaver with 6 sockets pwn all.

For the Hell of it I would socket a Cathan Ring with a 40/15 just so people would say, "What the fuck is that?"
