Well, it's easy with necro. Just put up some Frostclaw totems around the point where you're summoning the enemies. Then just summon some random summon right into the middle, wait and... BAM Judgement day trophy.


That... Sounds like an excellent idea! Thank you very much! I'll need to switch back over to my Necro then, Barb is a lost-cause.

It's actually probably easier in this patch than before since an A5 merc can now tank the erydem without any special gear on (don't move after dark summoning, the knockback will push you away and your merc will easily become the target, you can summon meatshields for psicrown after your merc is tanklocked).

Having lots of meatshield summons around while your merc tanks can absorb the psicrown hits.

One strategy to make the first charm easier (and to get access to erydem summons & sorb) is to clear the cathedral and make a tp near triune, summon jday near cloister wp to spawn one angel and take wp to rogue camp or die. Then you lure uldy with multiple deaths inside the cathedral from the tp. At this point you rejoin (or re-equip your unequipped gear from inventory in SP) and go kill the summoned angel in cloister wp without uldyssian & co harassing you with teleport.

Second stage is simply a matter of dps and RNG.

Q. Where can I find more information about proc skills, such as Apocalypse, Elemental, Arachnomancy, and a billion more... I tried to search these on Google but I guess I wasn't doing right.

What's the fastest way to farm an entire class set? Kurast3k in Destruction? I've been at it for the past couple days and only found one piece of the set I need and a bunch of other random sets, is there really no other faster way?

The uber quest: Akarat owns me: Can't melee them and I don't know what I need to resist their attacks.

Struggling to understand Sorc arcane (Mana) tree:

Immersion and Mana sweep say they do "Feedback damage". What type of damage is this?
Familiar does "Damage". Is that physical?

Am I missing something or is dual wielding fairly worthless in this mod? Old posts seem to indicate it used to be a fairly common playstyle but with every skill only using one of your weapons I can't seem to see a reason to not just use a one hander with a shield.


There is no more "dual wield" tree, it's effectively now sword (champion) tree and axe (berserker) tree. Things were rearranged between trees a bit. That said, I'm playing a dual-wielding axe barb currently finishing up Hatred. Is there damage any advantage to dual wield anymore aside from just the additional weapon affixes? Having no problem tearing through Hatred, but maybe shield will be more appealing as I get into the higher difficulties.
