shield, all the skill are useless since only hard point are used for theses skills right ?

The biggest gain is from hard points, but the soft points still help. Especially the life regenerated per second is nice being in the mid 200's if you don't have hard points.

What is the bias for the ancient suppository and neutrality pact to roll either skill?
I've now rolled seven 1 skill neutrality pact and seven 0 skill suppository, I've done the math and it's insanely bad rng if the chance was 50/50.
I really can't take having to do valthek even one more time, I don't think my hardware will survive this absolutely agonizing ordeal.

Fairly certain its an even distribution. I don't believe any charm or item's internal stat ranges are weighted. Its just bad luck. It took me 18 Book of Lies to break above a 160 HP roll. I've rolled 12 Wind Runners without a plus skill. Doesn't mean its rigged. We just forget the times we rolled near perfectly on the first try. I can put that shit RNG next to my first try perfect Erawan and Crucible. This is a core human bias essentially no one is immune to yet this game rubs into all our faces.

With how many RNG rolls occur over a given D2/Median playthrough the odds of not experiencing such an outlier in a run is almost non existent. Within a set of many millions of attack, damage, spawn, drop, and affix rolls these observations are completely normal. Expected even. Wildly improbable series of rolls within an almost immeasurably vast total quantity of rolls are statistically expected.

A Median play through must has many billions of total rolls in it cumulatively. Put this within that context.

We all share in your pain. Especially with Valthek as its a long fight that always plays out virtually the same. May your luck improve.

Yeah I was trying to be as unbiased as possible, even calculating the chance of it happening (about 15k to 1)

.
I was a poker player before and over literally millions of hands I never had a run that was comparatively bad, essentially losing 14 coinflips in a row.

Hi. have a very cpecific mechanic question for PROs. Have version 2.0 melee-Bear with 2H-mace with 2 frames attacks (350 ias). Using Wildfire, have about 1k hp/mp on melee attach, which Wildfire is. BUT, when I face Phoboss, I swing, but no dmg dealt, no hp/mp on attack taken back. Same happens on Deimoss, with speeds debuff Pylon. What exactly does Phoboss`s (Deimoss pylon) debuff? I try to understand, how to fix it. 3/4-frame attacks were fine, but 2-frame attack for some reson disables on Phoboss and Deimoss(with Pylon), but every stat is fine, weapon in hands, swings occur, even fire animation is here. Any ideas? I need exact info about those debuffs, please. UPD. Same debuff is applied on Baal (maybe by minions), blue one. WTF is it doing? I see only some avoid stats -30, nothing else, but attacks stop to hit at all, if I have 3 or less frames on attack... Cant figure out, how to fix.

How to make enhanced runes like Hem or Mhal?

You have to find enhanced runes, although you can upgrade them like regular runes. For example, 2 Ol's = an Elq. They drop anywhere with an area level equal to or greater than their item level (starting at 90) which is early hell/late nightmare. Drop bias for runes (Fauztinville) can help. Scosglen's big tree guys have an enhanced rune bias specifically.

Magic find doesn't help with runes of course. So just kill lots of stuff and pray for the best.

Haha, i got 126 lvl Necro and didn't find a single enhanced rune. Before we could make XiS with ele runes and now they can drop only? Rotfl.... mega sad. Can't make desired runewords without them though.

you're just out of luck. in k3k, Atulua, Dunс - Enhanced Runes fall.

I cleaned Duncraig 5 times and didn't get a single Enhanced Rune. I farm Teganze a lot, got like 12 Runestones and 20 essences. Instead of Enhanced runes i found plenty of common runes (but not Zod), Vizjerei Amulet like 80 times now, a lot of useless SU/SSU not for Summoner Necro.

But Enhanced Runes? Never found it.
