Short Questions Thread

[cowking]

So you‘re helping a newbie by calling his question for different possible (!) skills to use stupid? That‘s not helping. That‘s only called being a dick.

No, I was helping him by highlighting poor advice and causing him to re-assess his train of thought.

Too bad that most of that applies to a lvl 120 zon. However the new player is level 45!

Everything I wrote applies to level 45.

It‘s not even answering his question to begin with, since chuck did that already.

Chuck answered his question by talking about oskills with 82 min affix level on a lvl 45 char?

Or are you perhaps referring to the slow casting apocalypse staff that is a truly painful way to level a bloodzon?

And don‘t worry, I‘ve played this build often enough to be able to comment. Else I wouldn‘t do that lol. But guess what? There are multiple ways to play a single build. And you still didn‘t understand that your way isn‘t the only way. This game encourages using different skills and trying things out.

Gratz, here's the happy participation award you get for making a build that dies to 4 hits and clears 3x slower.

I don't see any persuasive arguments in that post. "this is unbelievably stupid" is not an argument because there is no explanation as to why you think so. Even if you were trying to help with that single post, you didn't.

I wanna see how you reach 30 k life on level 45. Same with 500 energy (With 5 statpoints per level and 32 sockets and elemental prism: 77*5 +10%= 423,5. But does it make sense not investing anything into str that early? That way you won't even have that many sockets to use and thus have even less energy) and 280% bonus energy factor from Bacchnalia.

Those are endgame values, not early game values, so please don't even try convincing me that "everything [you] wrote applies to level 45".

Indeed, I already tried using apocalypse staff. That was on a stormzon though, where I didn't even benefit from the additional spell damage from bacchnalia under 2/3 life pool. And still it wasn't even nearly as bad as you make it sound.

You're so entitled that you won't even see how wrong you are. You're a funny guy.

"Look! There's a person actually playing the game, testing out what it has to offer while enjoying himself! Let's make fun of him!"

That's what you just sounded like. Let me tell you a third time in case you still didn't understand: This game encourages using skills/oskills outside the norm. Why else would there be so many oskills/procs/skills with charges (aside from the fact that many of those skills used to be character skills that were abondoned by Laz). Trying out things is what's so fun about this game. So your pityful attempt to make fun of me doesn't even come close to an offense. Try again

Encourages? Care to explain. The goal is afterall to beat all content and min/maxing your gear for trophies if you feel like it's needed.

Hello I have some newbie-questions I hope someone can help me answer.

I cannot seem to buy the - to enemy resistance MO's from the NPC's selling MO's?
Also I made some honorific boots and put all resistance Mo's onto them, but after gaining +30 % all resistance I cannot use any more of them, it will not cube more - how come? I can add other MO's to the boots however.

You can only add normal MO's 5 times to one item. The -enemy res MO is gone, don't follow old guides. Get your info from here and the docs https://docs.median-xl.com/

Oskills, procs and skill charges are things that are rarely ever found in a game nowadays. However these things add to the fun because a single oskill can make a build a lot more interesting. For example tantrum before it was nerfed to death. This skill offers a completely different playstyle to any bow build and even opens up weird builds like bowbarb, bowpala and so on.

Diversity is the key. Combining those skills to get further is sometimes required. (Look for example at lazy din 4 patches ago using ring of light for several ubers for easier completion.)

Heck, we can even create builds that are completely focused on procs!

Even if you don‘t like a specific skill of a build you can simply use a different one if you prefer, which is the case of the one who asked the question to begin with. He didn‘t like the skillset and would rather like to use a different skill. And this game offers enough freedom to allow you to not be forced into a playstyle you don‘t like, while still being able to continue with a part of that build.

Aight thanks for the clarification, greatly appreciated. Do you happen to know about any up to date bow-amazon guides?

@Whyred

Mystic orbs dont have their page in the docs but you can find them listed here: http://median-xl.wikia.com/wiki/Mystic_ ... ystic_Orbs
