Pretty solid basis for a guide. Glad that someone decided to step up and write something, as there are quite a few players who are still interested in summon barb. Good pointers about: - Minion snapshotting (Stance for summoning vs. personal use) - DS on offhand for Skeld's / Undead Crown (Would be ...

Docs for certain items are not updated currently. Shadowtwin is among their number: still says it grants Veil King instead of 2 Barbarian minions per cast.

Why Superposition is Bad in 2.0 Median XL Sigma 2.0 was a brave foray into revamping many skill trees and providing interesting options to every class in the game. Sorceress' Lightning tree Proficiency skill, Superposition, was one such attempt that appeared in the highly viewed #sigma-leeks channe...
