Thx!

U need Great Runes for Gematria, not the Elemental ones.

You can use both Elemental Runes and Great Runes. Elemental Runes only give 70% of the effects though.

Elemental runes won't activate the bonus though :S

??? Elemental Runes work just fine for me....

Edit: So I tried it out to see if it changed, I may have been mistaken about it working for me, though I could've sworn that it worked before; sorry for seeming hostile. Tested on a

that I had in my Stash, put 4 Earth Runes in it and it didn't work. I had 2 Great Runes from Fauzt farming and put those in and still no dice. Gematria has it listed though that Elemental Runes give 70% of the Gematria effect while Great Runes give all of it. So it seems to be a bug. Shrug

Is The Golden Cycle just a totally random drop in Triune? Also, is it a Cycle that rolls unique (affected by MF), or its own type of drop?

which build can you recommend, when I want to do most of the content with mostly crafted items?

Timestrike.
Vizjun charm still have timestrike on striking.
Many many seasons ago timestrike was totaly crap for buids whom was using multihits based on weapon damage. For example bow ama or stormblast barb.
That timestrike was have some like 8sec duration and 4 NHD or more- so that was blocks multihits dmg. At now this skill a bit different.
And to increase dmg many people was just non using vizjun charm.
So does time strike still have NHD in sigma?

What a good place to farm UMO'S?
