Magic-damage, if I am not mistaken. That or physical, either/or.

Hey Bud, Feedback damage is a certain type of Physical/Magical spell damage that can't be boosted, unless you put the enemy in the negative physical resistance zone. Same with Arcane torrent, Mana Sweep, and Immersion. They can't be boosted by any other means other than Gear that grants Mana. This makes Mana sorc VERY VERY Gear dependent. (But here's a hint, it's EPIC at UL farming.)

1. Basically
2. Sacred rare + transmute with a shrine
3. It adds a second roll of the shrine's stats onto the crated item
4. No
5. Could be, could also be barbarians using them for their runemaster uber skill
6. Check which shrine gives what pre-determined bonuses in the docs. Cube a rare sacred item with a shrine of your choice. Keep cubing until you get what you want, then bless
7. 120
8. Yes
9. No

Thank you.

2. So when you mix Sacred Rare and Shrine do affixes add on, replace each other? What exactly happens?
3. As I understand it's like double stats?
6. I honestly couldn't find this anywhere. In documentation there is only a list of them without any detail.
If you apply Shrine a bunch of times does it reroll the stats in predetermined suffixes given by the shrine?
What happens to the Rare sacred item suffixes?
8. Won't these items go above max level after adding MOs? How can you walk around it, if you can.

iirc the feedback damage is physical (at least it was before 2017 because it did no damage to the phy immunes in fautz when i was playing a sorc). I havent level'd a sorc yet this season so it could be different but if you want to know just go to fautz and only do feedback damage to test it.

When I click create game, it goes to the loading screen, sits there for a while and eventually goes back to the main MP screen. Are there any workarounds or fixes for this issue? Thanks in advance

Ahhh thank you :)
So any +magic dmg or % magic dmg won't work. And the -enemy resist% MOs are gone. So if an item has +200 mana (or +energy) then it boost the total mana and that boosts the Feedback Damage?

I'm wondering if this is do-able build since Immersion got "greatly increased damage". Or is it only good in UL (Unformed Land?).
Thinking is:

    Use Arcane Torrent (hits for % of current mana) to lower mana pool. Also any other skills that use mana in the usual way.
    Use Antimass to heal, does Mana --> Life so it also lowers current mana by a lot.
    Now that mana is low, use Immersion which is dmg based on & of Lost Mana.

Some of those may be one-point wonders, maybe just Antimass, not sure.

I can still have two other skill trees so I guess Frost (lots of 1-point wonders and meat shields) and... Lighning? Poison maybe. Both look possible but I might run out of skill points to smax more than a couple.

Hey,

im able to farm terror tran athula really fast and find lots of set sacred items, but rarely uniques. Is there a loot cap on terror tran athula?
