the hammertime proc doesn't appear because its melee range... all the hammers hit immediately. that sword is also pretty bad. missing a ton of max damage. roll for a better one. ed and proc is decent, rest is bad.

@eadan the 20% bonus per level comes from base points (hard points i.e.. you have 5/7 points actually in the skill vs putting 1 point in and having +4 all skills or something). soft points still give a little bit of damage, sure, but the big boost comes from investing hard points in to scale up the dmg quickly and then the soft points add a bit on top.

hello, do ladder characters have access to items/areas that non-ladder characters do not?

Yes, to exclusive ladder items. Areas are still the same deal for both, so no.

Thanks for the response, however I'm still a little confused. I can find only information about "Realm only" items, does that mean ladder only? Or just that you need to be online?

I just started and am trying to figure out if I should play online non-ladder or ladder, just curious to see what I'd be missing out on if I decided not to do ladder. For example, there's a pretty huge difference in availability of runewords for ladder characters in D2 vanilla, I was wondering if that was similar for median XL.

There is no reason to play non-ladder because your chars will become non-ladder at the end of the ladder anyway.

Well, there is a reason, I'm not too keen on having to start over every ~6 months. However, if there are a number of items/runewords that I would be missing out on, I would consider doing it. So, do you know where I can find a list of items that are ladder only?

I'm trying to get the oskill mark of the wild on a sacred mammen axe. i already checked and I should be able to roll it since its ilvl 84 but for some reason I'm not getting any oskills to roll no matter what shrine i use. is there some easier way to get mark of the wild or does it no longer come as an oskill?

I am using iron spiral and I have 3 questions about it:

1- Does it do my total damage with the skill to all enemies it hits?

2- If I have "life stolen per hit" will I heal for the phyiscal damage I deal to my target or all the enemies hit by the skill?

3- Question 2 with "life on attack".
