dongpickle wrote:Hey guys, new to Median XL. I have a question about LC 2 deathlazer.

Can't seem to get it to work. I'm playing single player, level 83 barbarian. doing deathlazer in Normal. I kill the deathlazer and I check to see my worldstone orb charm nothing happens.
Tried to combine it with a perfect gem right after killing it and nothing.

is this a one time trial? like i killed it before and forgot to do it within 30 seconds?

do i have to do it in terror?


Yes, you have to do it in terror. As long as you're level 90 or below you can do it as many times as you want on as many class charms of your class as you want. But it only works once per class charm.

Read all the text again. The conclusion isnt just deathgaze + 2h barbaxe.
Your goal should be reach ancient way WP and do available easy uber.

Best life gain option for a melee barb?

Life on attack, Life on kill, or Life Leech?

I'm a deathgaze barb with room to MO a few slots and am wondering which is the best life gain options.

I have a fully upgraded class charm and a few uber charms (the easiest of the easy) but everything does so much damage.

What is actually a good barb build? I'm not above grinding for T6 gear or even making honorifics. At this point I just want a character I can actually play.


How's your AR? You can't leech or cb something without hitting it first.

Are you holding wolf aura 24/7 or losing it 24/7? Your defense is crap without wolf bonus unless you're bear stance.

Are you using run mode = defense 0, or walk mode?

Are your items MOed?

Are you using merc?

Are you using switch weapon slot for 2x

or koth + tslam?

Are you using too many runewords on a runemaster barb?

Are you following a guide from chucknoris?

It sounds like you're doing something fundamentally wrong and switching builds instead of fixing the problem. Very few things in the game require respec (bowazon ureh).

First, you need speedcalc app. Second, get d2stat
Then it depends on weapon you choose because many weapon have different innate skill IAS value. Check base item then look at their speed value
Ex 1. grand scepter have innate -20 WSM. So you open speedcalc then choose 1h swing on "select weapon type" and put 20 to "skill IAS" column. The table below the column is the remaining amount of IAS you need to reach the breakpoint.
Your case. hand axe have innate -10 WSM. Put 10 to skill IAS then you know the rest
In short you put inverted value of innate speed to skill IAS column.

What "other item IAS" column stand for? Its the "X% increased attack speed" that explicitly spawn on gear/charms.

Use d2stat to check your current stats. Just remember that d2stat dont calculate your current weapon "skill IAS" so dont copy those value blindly to speedcalc.

I'm looking to start up a fire sorc but I'm worried about immunes later on. Is there any way to pierce through immune anymore? I noticed the MO's that had -X% enemy resistances are no longer there, and I read that -X% does not pierce immunes anyways. So is it viable to make a solo element sorc?

Also, in regards to sacred uniques, I've noticed the terms SU, SSU, etc... being used. I'm assuming some SU's are more rare than others and that the SU page is listed in order of rarity right?
