[Templar]

I keep losing my merc - he's alive but nowhere near me. I need to cast a TP and use it to get him back. Is this normal?

Use any teleport skill like blink from nef runeword. He will teleport with you.

if Auriel's Robe (which has innate 10 wolf stance, which means you don't have to put it on right click slot)

where did you read that if an item provides +x to a stance you don't have to use it on right click slot ???? it's the same stance , you just get it from an item . you need to put it on right click . and no , the merc can't make use of that . you can , however use it yourself , get another item that is boosting the stance radius , then the merc will be affected on it , as long he is in the stance radius aoe .

He's talking about Ariel's Robe. In this version, it says it has "Lvl 10 Wolf Stance aura". I am assuming it works in a fashion similar to "Lvl 1 demon blood aura" modifier. If that's the case, then:
- You will benefit from having both stances
- It can be used on your mercenary

it sais level 10 wolf stance , no mention about an aura


if it is an aura indeed , then the description is missleading

[TTraw1]

Still, it's granted automatically through the armor, isnt it?

[ChuckNoRis]

Tier 1 SU start dropping from alvl 104 regular monster.
Tier 2 SU start dropping from alvl 117 regular monster and alvl 115 bosses.
Tier 3 SU start dropping from alvl 130 regular monster.

T1 SU = alvl 104+ (i.e. Hell Arcane Sanctuary and beyond)
T1+T2 SU = alvl 115+ (from bosses only), alvl 117+ (bosses and monsters)
T1+T2+T3 SU = alvl 130+

Not sure who started it, but it's not entirely accurate information, e.g. act bosses does not have any level bonus while some unique monsters such as Griswold or Maghda has +3 level bonus (superunique bonus). You can read about various monster level bonuses there https://d2mods.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19359, this source should be more accurate than wiki by the way.

Regarding SU tiers, it's indeed 104/117/130 level for SU/SSU/SSSU respectively, although some specific uniques has a different level requirement:

Speaking of regular areas, a few other locations from Act II has its area level equal to 104, but that's a nitpicking (sorry Solfege ). Nonetheless Hell Arcane Sanctuary is a good reference point.

does ilvl of a rare sacred item effect the available mods for a shrine crafting?


Also i noticed items ilvl display caps out at 99. Are they actually higher than that?
