I never tried Shrine Crafting yet. Is it the same as runeword creation where I should prioritize using the highest possible base item? What factors should I be considering?

you can only shrine craft sacred rares

Rare/Crafted Sacred item + Shrine → reroll item as crafted + Shrine (-1 charge)

Hell difficulty is actually where the game starts because of the uber areas in which you will spend your time, the main quest line is irrelevant save for the free skill/attribute rewards along the way, leveling was fast until now to get to around 100 and see how you should play your character but it gets much slower from now on by comparison, and you will need to grind xp in order to access the next set of uber areas. So get charms as soon as you can, some have attributes you may need to start wearing sacred tier gear, +max skills, +max life/mana, even %xp gain, and lots of other stuff you really need to progress further. Also i recommend you see the uber progression in this guide viewtopic.php?f=40&t=22675 to easily find the ubers, and then check docs for more info if you have trouble in some areas.

By crafting you are rerolling the item affixes and guaranteeing certain affixes with the shrine you chose to use. So just the type of item matters for stuff like weapon speed, range of damage, maybe movement speed relevant to body armor type and sometimes STR/DEX requirements, because you want to be able to equip them sooner rather than later (when you may not need to spend any points into STR/DEX because you have free ones from the charms).

It would be cool if the Amazon's Fire Elementals were changed into Vanilla D2's Valkyrie Models. Like keep the stats and synergies the same but just have the character a Valkyrie Summon. I miss having that unkillable extra meat shield.

it's a ranged attack . it does not trigger "on attack" procs or life/mana on attack , it only benefits from "on striking" and "after kill" procs , %life leech, %mana leech , life and mana after kill , life on striking/mana on striking

Are there any builds on it? Would it be good with magic missles now that bloodstorm doesn't seem to be a thing?
