Short Questions Thread

creating unique jewelery is random . you can get what you want in the first 5 rolls if you are lucky , or you may roll 100 times and not get what you need .

Crafting summoner jewels is better anyway.

I just hit level 120 with my Flame Nec, so far it can do Duncraig well. But I have this question about high level (required level: 100 and above) gears, exempting runewords, stuck in my mind just now and I feel that I need some advice.

Now, with the gears for level 100; they can still be MO'd 5 times (that's the maximum I can get for now) and can be socketed with crafted jewels (these 2 are what I am familiar with as of now). Anyhow, is there more I can still do to enhance these high level gears at my current level? or should I just keep on grinding for better ones?

Who ever created the idea for the AKARAT quest can go f themselves with a kitchen implement hard. Seriously. I really enjoyed the hell out of median xl for the past few weeks and then this crap happens. This is not fun. this isn't entertaining. This is beyond frustration. This is like the kinds of crap some insecure DM at and old school RPG session would come up with when they had a bad day and wanted to be a prick with a power trip type of stuff. Nobody enjoys this mission. This is making me want to break things. I think my mouse hit the wall a few times already. The fact that it's basically impossible with a summoner is BS too. Why force people to respect into something entirely different to kill one monster. Thats horse crap.

This mod was sooo much fun until this point. And now I'm about 3 seconds from deleting the whole and trying out Path of Diablo or something. How anything can be so good and so ridiculously stupid at the same time is beyond me. How about changing it the label from "easy" to "Don't even bother". If the followers didn't die instantly then maybe it would be doable but they are too easy to kill so half of the time when they die they don't even trigger the immunity removal and the other time they are dead before I can kite the bastard close enough to make a difference.

So here is my short question... WTF were you thinking? (or smoking) :wall:

It's actually almost impossible to kill the pack of followers near Akarat without the novas hitting him because he spawns inside the pack of them unless you intentionally lured them out.

Akarat is one of the easiest ubers to help you begin to adjust to the charm content of MXL. It's a damage check mostly. What is the problem? What are you playing and why can't you kill him? not enough damage or pierce or what?

The chance for the Death Nova proc is not 100% anymore, it's around 33% now. Sometimes it is impossible to kill him, reset the game or wait until you get more damage and Akarat become a joke.

there are followers packs all over the jungle . if you did not manage to kill Akarat using the pack that spawns around him to remove his imunity , lure him to another pack and try to kill him again . he's not very offensive , so you can focus all you got on increasing the damage in order to kill him faster .

If you're raging already ... this mod is not for you ... there's way harder and more annoying Ubers to come

So instead, more info would be nice about build/level/gear etc so we can maybe help you out and get a better experience from the mod.

With Melee Necro, Akarat is way more easier than Jitan. Although the first time I tried to kill Akarat, it took me to kill two followers to drop the immunity coz my damage output (Carnage build) could not kill it instantly. It would only drop at 1/4 hp, sometimes it would regenerate quickly, so I had to run away, lure it near a follower, and try again after immunity dropped. Legacy of Blood is the pain in my Nec's butt - mini rant.

Akarat is really freaking easy.
As mentioned above he's very useful for damage currency check.
If you can't beat him even on P1 i have bad news for you: your build (usually it's equip part) sucks.
I'm playing hardcore ladder and usually on 115 lvl i'm capable to kill him easy (solo) with 2 players in the game.
Also you didn't mentioned your build. If it's Mana Sorc i can't see any problems here. It was easy even with Lightning Sorc.
Maybe you didn't got 105 charms and some 110s like Scroll of Kings?
