yea must be so, Baal is damn annoying too, anyway since i'm playing a throw barb I can just use overkill but I forgot it and tried things with fortress, done QT and BPR anyway :lol:

Another Q: I was running khalimgrad for the ear and I got an 'emblem of suffering', Its name shows 'secret' and I guess that's why I cant find it in the doc except it's 1 of the 6 emblems for valkyrie bow, how can I get the other 5 emblems? Just kill things and hope they will drop?

Yeah, I think they're just random rare drops. IIRC, you can also use them and the book you get from Xazax to upgrade the Laz Charm, but I've never found them all to try it.

Then what is it that was stopping Mana Sweep? When I did QT, I had to cast it 8-9 times nearly every time before it would leech Mana and do damage.

Line of sight or boss teleporting in time to dodge the mana sweep projectiles probably.

TTAD from doom (note it's not called TTAD anymore on skill tooltip exactly for such reasons) = is affected by critical strike


Does this also mean that it would be gg to have both doom and a source of ttad as well when using attacks that hit multiple times like stormblast/ancients hand? Just saw that an had to ask....


No, because stormblast/ancients hand are missiles and don't carry TTAD.

Anyone know what build was used my the single d00d to hit 125 in the current season? Any builds particularly good for EXPing past 120? I played in S14 for the first time and I got sorta stuck at 120 with Barb where I couldn't do cows at all reasonably. I've got a hankering to attempt badassery and go for 121+ in S15.
