Stuck my nose in fight with Kabraxis and the Lucien fights. While I enjoy a good fight, those are beyond my skill level for 72 year-old Barb. Might be fun for some, but a nightmare for me. I know it is a dance of moves, builds and certain skills but still way to difficult for me. Definitely NOT enjoyable challenges. Sigh.

Some ubers are more difficult for specific builds, some are easier with the same build, thats just how the game is made. You are not supposed to faceroll the game without thinking.

? It's a Necromancer only item but it's a sword. No Necromancer melee attack skills can be used with it, however it's clearly a melee necromancer item

I guess you are supposed to play a melee oskill or even run around with regular attack (Area Affect will do at least some AoE damage) with this weapon and make use of the powerful?! (sounds powerful to me) proc on melee attack.

Perhaps if we knew what it actually was? The wiki says the spell doesn't exist hah.

I am pretty sure that is the same spell veil kings use. Also judging by the name, it is a poison spell.

Planning to play a bow class in the next season.
Is there any other class than Bowazon, Bowdruid or Bowbarb worth being used?
Even if its crazy build using oskills.

Can anyone tell me how to add depleted and charged riftstones to my d2stats notifier

At the Notifier tab add the line "Riftstone" exactly like this with quotes, and both will show up when dropped.

Lmfao Thank you. Thats why I did it wrong I guess. I was doing "Depleted Riftstone" and trying to add the tiers.
