This might seem like a dumb question as the median page says that it is possible for ed and/or ar to roll onto a weapon with a 20% chance but I've been rolling this bow for nearly a week now. I've rolled nearly 100 luckies onto this base and its never rolled ed not once hell its barely even rolled ar at all let alone ed. Serious question at this point, is ed still a possibility? Did the success chance on luckies get changed? Do I need to see a shaman to get this curse of bad luck removed?


Not sure if your bow has zero sockets but this might be relevant to you.

Credits to Acry, don't remember who originally tested it.

Well that is unfortunate I was trying to roll a base to use elemental dominion on which requires that the weapon have 0 sockets but if there is a bug I may as well wait hope it gets fixed soon, thanks :D

Probably next season sadly.

are you kidding me? why would it take so long to fix such a simple bug?

Attack speed makes you attack faster.
Attack rating increases your chance to hit. Hover over the attack rating in you char stats and you see your % to hit the last hitted mob.

How do you guys deal with these? I am just trying to Nihlathak farm sigs (which should be trivial at my clvl - everything melts), but I die way too often to these MOFO . With just a little latency I am dead before I can respond to any of the visual or sound triggers.

Any thoughts?

What is the ideal usage of
Elemental Dominion
Elemental Dominion
Occult Effigy

Cube Reagent
Cube with a Elemental Melee Weapon to Add Bonus
4% Chance to cast level 5 Life Spark on Melee Attack
+5 Required Level
(Max 2 Uses per Item)
?

Apply it to a very good zero socket ethereal base weapon, then socket punch for runewords? Does this even work?

Anything else particularly useful with this effigy?

You can use it for runewords, yes.

No real strategy against lag. If you see a lightning wall just run like hell. I'm not 100% sure but I think RIP-modifier makes corpses unusable for mobs too so if they really cause trouble might be worth a try, without corpses they are just your regular shamans.

Have you considered just farming the Torajan Jungles for sigs? Best place to farm them IMO.
