2. Are "sacred" uniques only obtainable by dropping them? I have T4 EQ at the start of Hell, but I feel like my damage isn't that good. Are there any places at the beginning of Hell (A1, A2?) where I can farm "sacreds"?
3. Are mercenaries bugged? I got one from A5 and he just can't die, even if he facetanks a boss, while I die super quickly. He has obviously more hp than me. If that is the case, why somethimes he tanks everything allright, but other time he just gets randomly one-shoot?
4. How can you dodge Pit Fiends projectiles? I am running around like crazy but I always get hit, sometimes even if I hide behind a wall. Also, how to effectively deal with undodgable bullshit like teleporting red knights in A2 and blue ones in A3 Durances? Is it just stacking HP and mowing them down while kiting?

1. Nope. All bosses are immune to CB now.
2. SUs are drops only. And they only drop in areas with an alvl of 104 or higher (Hell Arcane Sanctuary and beyond).
3. Honestly, idk enough about A5 mercs to answer that.
4. Not sure what enemy type Pit Fiend is, but unless the projectile tracks you (e.g. TA Amazons' Guided Arrow), you should be able to dodge it. That said, some projectiles have a larger "hit box" than their sprite leads you to believe. As far as enemies that teleport on you (Pit Knights, Moon Knights, Alpha Centaurs, etc.), there's really no way to dodge their pounce-like attacks afaik. But sometimes, you can see them waiting just at the edge of your screen, then you can use summons to bait them out.

doesnt give Minion Damage/Life (as in the old guide for Summon Barb) and there is not a single Runeword/Unique that gives those stats - what would you guys use until I can craft a decent one (or find a Sacred Unique)?

Idk anything about summon barbs, but Sacred Honorifics can be a cheap alternative to crafts. Higher damage/defense than their T4 counterparts, low lvl reqs, double MO bonus, and you can shrine-bless them.

Witchblood for most things, then respec into Chronofield for bosses you want to slow (if you need to).

Hey guys, loving the mod.

I have a question regarding notifications with D2Stats Reader, I downloaded both the exe and the filter file dll. I'm not sure if I have to place them in a specific folder.

I can read my character fine, but I can't get the notifications to show, first I added some bases I wanted, and when I noticed one of them drop and didn't get anything in the text window. I tried picking up other items, adding it to the filter with quotation marks and dropping it back, to see if maybe the base itself was misspelled or something, but even then, the notification doesn't show.

I tried opening MXL first, opening D2Stats first, either way it reads my character but notifications don't work.

What else can I do? Maybe I skipped some step when installing? Any help is appreciated.

Are you running D2Stats as administrator?

Yes, I was.

I actually fixed it, not sure why, but if I put the item name above the "#Hide" portion of the file, it works. Which doesn't make sense because it shouldn't matter where the line is written?

At least it works now.

Thanks!

Where are the best places for farm SSU's?

Hi, For some reason I can not enter any of the lvl105 dungeons even though I'm lvl107 and in hell act3. Is there another pre-requisite not listed in the documents? Chances are I'm blind and am missing something quite simple.

Alright, thanks for the reply!

If u cant enter a 105 area you're either not 105, it's not 105 or you entered, failed & it locked. Are you sure the area isnt 115? It would help if you told us where you were trying to go. I'll do you a solid, if it's not sunless sea (the only 105 area) then you ain't gettin in.
