+3 maim crafting

Note: Annuls are 3:1ex on HC at the time of writing this.  With SC prices (8:1ex), a different method that uses less exalts and more annulments might be more efficient.

For crafting Maim +3 mace:

1. Alt spam an ilvl 75 shaper 2 handed mace until level 20 maim (ideally by itself).  Can use 18 maim, but if you're spending this much on a mace why settle for less than 20
2. Regal.  If you hit +1 gems, don't annul (unless there's another affix)
3. Try to annul the affix you get.  If you remove Maim, start over
4. You should now have a 1 stat rare with Maim.  Craft Multimod + Cannot roll Attack Modifiers and exalt.
5. If you don't hit +1 gems, add "Suffixes can't be changed" and scour the item, then try to exalt again -- repeat until +1 gems.
6. Remove crafted mods, and add a mod with quality bonus to jeweller and 6 link the item.
7. Multimod, Minion Damage + Life (39-45%), +2 to Level of Support Gems, Minion Attack + Cast Speed (25-28%).

Q: Why multimod with the cannot roll attack mods?
A: This makes it so you can't exalt a suffix, and also enables you to scour the Cast on Melee Kill off.  It saves time, although might be more expensive than other methods if exalts are really expensive and annuls are really cheap.

Q: Why the quality bonus before multimodding the rest of the stats?
A: More chance of 6 link.  Will save you fuses unless you decide to force 6 link with 1500 fuses. Also might be worth using perfect fossils to get a higher base quality before working on the mace.
