Expensive lesson learnt today

Have been picking up all white amulet bases while mapping on and off during work.

Transmuted T1 % ES on a stellar amulet. Augmented T1 Rarity suffix.

Slammed perfect regal > T1 cast speed.

At this point I was wondering how to proceed. Then it hit me! From 0.3 I learnt that the only mods left with caster tags are +spell skills and spell damage. Ransacked my stash and found literally just enough sibilant catalysts (18 of em) and quickly qual-ed up to 20%.

I, however, forgot that catalysing omen only applies to the first slam in a greater ex. Having only 1 perfect exalt left, I slammed with an omen of greater ex. Hits T1 spell damage and T1 all attributes.

Fumbled possibly the biggest craft of my season. Sad noises.

Wait your saying it you put catalyst on first your more likely to slam correctly?

Catalizing omens just make the type of slam more likely. +3 spell skills are so rare/low weight in affix pool that getting it is unrealistic. That's why people usually fracture x affix and then chaos spam it or start with a base already having it.

Quickest way to get +3 spell amulets is by gambling amulets at Ange i think, you can try get some there if you got spare cash

I don't think I've ever had a catalyzing omen ever hit what I wanted it to hit. Tried it like 20 times on amulets.

Pretty sure catalyzing work with greater exalt.. I hit double mana prefix like 3 times out of 20 while working on my new amulet.. there is a high chance not to hit which is why it's hard to confirm that it does. But it works with dextral/sinistral and previously with homogeneous so I don't see why catalyzing would be an exception my success rate getting cast speed with catalysts has been extremely low... I finally settled at t2 mana prefix t1 spirit (chaosed), t1 int +3 spells (fractured)and t2 crit% first desecrate suffix on a gold base.. was a huge upgrade over my previous which is why I settled after the t2 crit without omen of lights

Idk if its luck but i've gotten a few 2 attack modifiers on rings using catalyzing and greater exalted orb.
