Keeping in mind that I'm currently on old MXL2012, is OHMAN unholy paladin viable?
I want to cast OHMAN then weapon switch to Sinewstring SU short bow for 50% bloodstar on striking.
I know I'll need to heavily invest in max mana, mana regen and mana on kill etc, but it just seemed like a fun idea.

Its a fun build so its not really something you can do quick farming with, also the bloodstar skill from bow is not that good because it moves so slow that the monster die before it reaches them

About the same speed as punisher?

I'll be quite tanky as an unholy paladin, so it's just about getting the wave of damage started, I'm going to be far less squishy than your average bow character.

Questions:

I have an a3 mercenary (lightning attack).

Does his attacks benefit from + to all skill?
Does his attack benefit from + %elemental damage and/or +% lightning damage?
Does his attack benefit from the paper damage on the weapon (higher dmg the better) or should I find some item with either skills or % lightning damage?
Lastly, any ideas for a good weapon for a light based merc?

Regards

I've got another question as well.
I was wondering if anybody has experience with the D2Stats 'drop notifier' script and know how to edit it so that it displays a message when ethereal sacred items drops?

this is from Aero's pinned post on discord:

Code: Select all

"^(Ancient|Full Plate|Gothic|Greaves|Gauntlets|Assault|Avenger|Gilded|Crown|Spangenhelm|Setzschild|Spirit Mask|Ceremonial)" superior sacred eth
"^(Scissors Katar|Blade|Naginata|Maiden Javelin|Bonesplitter|Raptor Scythe|Spirit Edge|Kriegsmesser|Labrys|Warp Blade|Hand of God|Angel Star|Long Sword|Broad Sword|War Axe)" superior sacred eth

if you're going to do that, switch to

Lavasurge

, but it won't be good. Bloodstar is super weak.
