What´s the difference between %max dmg mod and the adds dmg mod like the one i have on my wep?
Are they the same or equally good?
I dont get it...

Also, what shrine should i bless with?

hey guys, I had a quick question about items that give you a "Morph". Specifically I'm looking at getting a cotw with Deathlord and I'm wondering if I would lose the buff upon unequipping the item with the cotw or does it function the same as most other buffs and I could simply buff and it will last its duration regardless of the item still being equipped or not?

K3k, hands down. Even with 50-100 MF, you get a descent amount of sets and SU’s. Just dont expect the top items to immediatly pop up. You’ll see many sets and su’s dropping over and over though,..., and when you get tired of that, it is time to transition over to dunc
Might also wanna check the lvl 100 rune & Runewords. They are very accessible and build enabling.

Is there a chance to get even the best items from K3kba? Or some uniques can only drop in higher content?

Okay, I see. That's still a ways in the future for me, though; none of my Sigma characters have managed to reach Nightmare yet.

AFAIK, the very best items only drop in Duncraig and Fauztinville. K3k doesn't have a high enough map level to drop them.

It depends on what you consider 'the best items'

K3K can drop sets (has a higher % chance) and SU's
Dunc can drop up to SSU
Fauztin can go to SSSU

For some builds, some SU's are BIS, and therefore can be farmed in K3K.

%max damage is % based. "adds damage" just means you have + min and + max damage not effected by % modifiers on the weapon itself. Shrine blessing is going to be based upon your overall gear and needs.

Do you need cold pierce? Sacred Shrine

Do you need more str/vit? creepy/quiet shrine

Do you want deadly strike? intimidating shrine

Do you want tri pierce for a boost to nephalim spirit? trinity shrine

Do you want more % and + damage? Weird shrine (for you this will not work as you are already past the cap of 200% ed

Soooo... %max dmg is the better mod i presume?
Since it applies to more modifiers?

I played one until I got to Hell @ level 103. It was very easy with crap gear, even in Hell.

I could never decide what to do with all the other skill points so I got bored. I just opened him up again and saw that he has 73 unused skill points lol.

So yeah, TL;DR = easy character to breeze through the early game. From then on... try it
