Does Astrogha's darkspawns have some kind of 1 hit ko attack? Sometimes they kill me with 1 hit even though my druid has 400k Def and 15k life.

No. If you destroy a spider statue you become cursed and get 1 hit killed by anything.

If you kill a spider statue you get a debuff which slows you down and grants you getting killed by any attack (even traps from chests/walls can one-shot your tanky druid in that case).

Thanks for reply mate. Im having great problems with Astrogha now, maybe any advice? I have some SUs and crafts and I'm reaching 58-70k dmg with elemental after buffs, even more with Acid Fiends (i supermaxed those, I dont use them vs Astro though as they kill statues all the time and force that MoFo to cast his freeze nova). To sum up I can't kill him fast enough to prevent healing from shrines. Any ideas?

Survivability is not a problem unless i smash them statues as I have (as mentioned) 400k def, 15k hp and 20% avoid.

edit: well, i did it but holy crap, it was far from one shooting him. Took me about 30 minutes to rape that assclown. Trophy is only +360, but thats decent enough for me now.

"Q: How is Fortress with Stances treated by MXL? Is it treated as a spell? Is it treated as a minion? Is it treated as a ranged attack? Would it benefit from poison duration?
A: Fortress is basically a complicated missile chain. The towers are actually immobile missiles, just like Bloodstorm. As such, they are considered a "spell". Stances don't affect them but since stances affect YOU, Fortress does benefit from stances. Similarly, Bloodstorm benefits from your own Bloodlust. " - taken from "Less Frequently Asked Questions" thread.

So, the towers are basically spells affected by stances bonuses... but still doesn't know how does they work with stances...

- In case of Kraken stance, Fortress actually get the rainbow dmg? or only get the dmg bonus as physical dmg?
- If I am in Kraken stance, then cast Fortress, and then change to Snake Stance, Fortress will keep Kraken Stance bonuses, or all the towers already in screen will take the Snake Stance bonuses?

Right now, this is my offensive skill sequence: Kraken Stance > Fortress > Snake Stance > Thunderslam > Kraken Stance > Stormblast

So this take me to another question... Stormblast convert the Kraken Stance rainbow dmg to lighting?

That's all for now... cya :)

Fortress towers deal 3/4 of your weapon damage per arrow. So this means that stuff which increases YOUR weapon damage increases in turn the damage of the fortress arrows (but not %spell damage, even if the character sheet is trying to convince you otherwise).

- Kraken stance adds flat elemental damage, so it works with Fortress.
- They won't keep the bonus. Missiles which deal damage calculate their damage from your stats at the moment of creation.

Lastly - stormblast does not convert the added elemental damage from kraken stance. It is clearly written on the skill description that it converts only physical damage.

What kind of damage does Mana Sweep do? I'm assuming physical, but I'm not sure at all. I am currently making a sorc build using that skill.

How exactly does (Baal's) Shardspawns' death spell work? The runic glyphs floating when they die function in what way?
