I'm playing MXL 2017 1.13 in Single Player and my Kabraxis' Stone rune's lvl required, which used to be 120 in older versions, is now 121. How am I supposed to use it or is it not available in Single Player?
P/s: This is my first post ever so if there's anything wrong please let me know, thank you.

I am new to Median XL and I started a new summoner Barbarian.
Just wondering if the werewolf pets are a viable end-game build?

I'm getting the spirits also but I plan to max out my wolf capacity.
I get one wolf per every five base points I believe so I'm intrigued.

The hardest part as a new player is trying out different builds/skills and wondering what works.

As long as I have fun I feel that's all that really matters.

You can't rely on the wolves to actually be your damage output. As a summoner, you don't really need them since you gain Spirit Guide bonuses from having your Spirits around. For other barb setups, they're nice to have to spread their Hunter's Mark additional damage per hit and to gain the Spirit Guide bonus (More wolves running around = more likely you'll be in range to have the bonus).

Definitely not possible as a build on their own though.

TA needs Tons of Def, dont know if sorc can get so high without melee build around 300k is need, my Barb melees with 400k in there. Also 50%damage reduce, and alot of reanimates arent bad there cuz they get hit by Broadside and not you. For Specific skill tips i cant help, never play sorc.

You should consider speccing into Light or Cold, since they both have nice defensive passives, and Cold also has Ice Elementals which give a defense and 15% DR aura. You'll probably need to re-summon them frequently, but it's better than dying.

Fire set is kinda meh, honestly. I'd recommend swapping out for some RW's, Crafts, or even some TU's can be nice. Just check around for stuff with fire spell, +skills, and fire pierce if you want to stick with that element. Can't think of the name, but TU Jared Stone is a nice starter and allows a shield for more defense and stats too. Definitely try to get some reanimates. I orbed 10% Skeleton Reanimates on three pieces of my gear for my bowzon and the screen floods with reanimates. Helps a lot with incoming arrows, but still sometimes an arrowside sneaks through, so just be quick with dodging and you'll be fine.

For now, I'd actually just recommend grabbing the TA charm and then proceeding to try to pick up some more charms. I'm not sure you're quite ready to begin heavy farming for gear in TA yet. I'd also add Destruction Nihlathak runs into each of your games since it's guaranteed 2 sigs per run and a unique with chance of being SU.
