You clearly need more def and damage reduce, try to get build around cold and light or cold and psn for the passiv which give both nice amout of def
as dommsday said , 400k def is a good cap

Two words: Force Blast. Idk why no one else uses that skill. It's great.

A point into Symbol of Esu is also a good idea. Even with Living Flame, the Life regen often isn't enough to counter the onslaught there. Summons are good, too. Even 1 point Blade Spirits with the Fire/Lightning passives and they almost never die. Only passive combo that's better for them is Lightning/Cold.

Speaking of which, Lightning tree is best tree for TA. Even with 60k def, Amazons only have like 43% chance to hit or something. Then you get 18% Avoid on top of that.

Also, stupid question but: Does the Miasma damage stack?

Pretty sure it takes the highest amount of poison damage dealt during the cast and continually applies the highest amount over the duration

If I wanted to make a pure melee build which class is best for that? Would the shapeshift Druid be my best bet? Somebody told me the rat was good for beginner players and weren't very gear dependent. Right now I'm having trouble finding any success with any particular build. I'm worried I'm never going to settle in and find anything that I truly enjoy and can become end-game viable.

Median XL looks like a super fun game but without the knowledge all of you have, I'm worried I'll never become good at anything. Also the challenges you have to do before level 50, 80 and 90: They scare me and are intimidating. I don't know if I can pass them. If I even reach that far of a level.

The best advise I've received so far is somebody told me not to feel too overwhelmed at first. They feel that some new Median XL players become frustrated and they end up going back to the original game or other simpler mods like Path of Diablo. But I don't want to quit Median XL after a few days just because the game seems hard to me. I really do want to enjoy the game for a long time and eventually become good with at least one character class.

Another issue I'm having: I keep pushing GS10 and the Texas server doesn't work for me. It keeps sending me to the New York or Seattle server instead. I live in Texas so I'd rather use the Texas server. Should I push GS 10 (skip a space) or is it GS10 with no space skipped? I can't get either to work.

Sorceress is really the only up-to-date melee guide that doesn't require extremely rich gear.

the command would be /gs 10

type /servers in the lobby to see which are online/offline and how many players are using them. you can also look at the top under the multiplayer tab for server info

I'm probably just doing something simple wrong, but I've updated as I normally do by replacing all patch files in the D2 folder and it's still on the old version. Am I required to change over to 1.14 or play online for 1.2 to work?
