Merc weapon question

[hellsing293]

ok well image shack messing up right now but here's what i wanna use.

Collosus Voulge
eth no sockets
Req. 45dex
Reg. 200str
25-247 dmg

How many sockets would it get if i socketed it 5 or 6. And my merc has like 196str so 1-2 more lvls would give him enough str. thats the best polearm to make emrc weapon out of right. i was thinking of making a doom if it was 5sockets but if its 6sockets i'm not sure. i on nl so infinty is extremely expensive so thats not an option right now.

another good polearm would be eth cryptic axe, lower strength but more dex. a bit lower dmg but most people like the look of it better than cv and overall usefulness

[hellsing293]

how many sockets would the cv get 5 or 6?

[fetteboy1988]

it gives you the max amount so im guessing 6

[jackass88]

heh colossus voulge has get always his max socets at larzuk and thats 4 socets

[hellsing293]

i also got an eth stalagian pike how many sockets would that get? I need something to get 5 sockets to make doom.

A Cryptic Axe gets 5os from Larzuk.
