These skills make a defense check. It happens to everyone using this kind of build, especially when fighting Duriel since he is in a small room. Later, it won’t be as painful when you have easier access to physical resistance and higher HP. Since you have low hp, you get hit repeatedly and faster hit recovery kicks in, slowing your escape. Changing gear for higher defense would lower your damage. If kill speed is good, stick with what you have.

For now, try to aim for the shaman in the halls of pain first, he is the one exploding the corpses. For Duriel, simply stand next to a tp. Admitting you invested a bit in faster hit recovery, when situation goes bad for minions/merc or you see too many towers, go back town. Both builds you mentioned have their guide in the guide section. Perhaps your gear is not optimized.

As for mana issues, your problem is most likely going to solve itself by aiming at high energy rolls on charms. Worse case scenario, respec to remove excess strength and dexterity. Charms really help on this.

As far as I know, Dream Eater steals hp based on a fixed percentage of damage dealt. No stat can increase this. Someone might correct me on this.

Has anyone actually done the 30 second bremmtown run?

I have done that quest on previous and earlier seasons with pally (melee and rising dawn superbeast), actually easy enough, can fit into something 25s without big problems. And trophy bonus works, too.
So, probably depends on class which is doing quest...

In hell I get wrecked so fast by fortress (duriel) and any enemies that have I think the skill is called blood feast(shamans in halls of pain), the corpse cannons. Is this a defense problem?

Use the R.I.P recipe on both you and your merc to neuter storm shamans.

Awesome idea, thanks

So either this quest is broken or the player has to open the cube and transmute the charm within the 30 seconds as well in which case we got the kill within the 30 seconds isn't that enough?

You need to cube within 30s, same for the 90s (or is it 60s?), both buffs, both swirls need to be active. You cant also not go back to town or leave in any way.

We shouldn't need to cube it within the 30 second window. That's not how it works for the void and other similar quests. We just get a buff for killing the boss within the time limit, the buff lasts for 30 seconds to give us a bit of a grace period so we can open the cube to transmute the charm and once the buff wares off the ability to cube the charm is gone. Here we get a buff upon entering the zone and another for killing the boss within the 1:30 time limit but there isn't a 3rd for the 30 second clear. The achievement is hard enough as it is and players shouldn't miss out because they needed a few seconds to open the cube.

Does pierce on merc equips help my damage or does it only apply to their own hits?

[Johnny Impak]

Only to their own hits.

This is the only trophy I dont even try. I can hardly make it in 1:30 with any of my chars. It is not like you can try again over and over, you still have to cross Fauztinville just to get one attempt at it. You go too slow, it doesn’t work, you go too fast and you get swarmed and killed. Well, at least it is not required to progress so I don’t whine too much about it. Anyone remembers the challenge season when there were Temple Spires in in the level ?

Has anyone try Xbow Dudu with

Ranger's Disguise

Ranger's Disguise

Defense: (2836 - 3129) to (3182 - 3510)

Required Level: 100
Required Strength: 650

Maximum Life +(2 to 3)%
Physical Resist 10%

?

I did, and while widowmaker and fragmentation shot are decent single target skills, the max res penalty hurts A LOT. it does save you from having to gear towards fire pierce because you don't rely on nova shot for single target, but compensating that max res penalty is complicated. depending on the boss you want to fight it could be useful. I would not recommend it for farming nor labs.
