Short Questions Thread

Stuck my nose in fight with Kabraxis and the Lucien fights. While I enjoy a good fight, those are beyond my skill level for 72 year-old Barb. Might be fun for some, but a nightmare for me. I know it is a dance of moves, builds and certain skills but still way to difficult for me. Definitely NOT enjoyable challenges. Sigh.

So my question, Iron Spiral or Deathgaze Barb have best chance on either of those fights?

For Kabraxis respec to Fortress, keep summoning Edyrems near him so he doesn't target you too much, and stay mobile but not too far from him so he doesn't jump you and also if possible try to position yourself behind one of the statues on the sides but still with vision on him, just for a breather and to avoid direct dmg from his Balefire. It takes some time but you can do it.

For Lucion you have to use Dire Charm from the book Duram drops, in the N part of the map, use that spell on Lucion (the one with Mephisto sprite) and he will get an overlay of a small green tornado and essentially be on your side and fighting Malic (the one with Nihlathak sprite), so now he can be damaged by Malic and killed by him, just be sure to reapply the Dire Charm when you see the green tornado disappearing. Also lure Lucion in the open area where Malic is and try to keep the fight in between them there, it's easier to manage and run around avoiding Malic's bolts in a more open space.

Some ubers are more difficult for specific builds, some are easier with the same build, thats just how the game is made. You are not supposed to faceroll the game without thinking.

I guess you are supposed to play a melee oskill or even run around with regular attack (Area Affect will do at least some AoE damage) with this weapon and make use of the powerful?! (sounds powerful to me) proc on melee attack.

Perhaps if we knew what it actually was? The wiki says the spell doesn't exist hah.

I am pretty sure that is the same spell veil kings use. Also judging by the name, it is a poison spell.

Planning to play a bow class in the next season.
Is there any other class than Bowazon, Bowdruid or Bowbarb worth being used?
Even if its crazy build using oskills.

Can anyone tell me how to add depleted and charged riftstones to my d2stats notifier
