I've switched to an elemental bow and suddenly my farming gone from facetanking to running around like a little b.

Life and Mana leech only work with physical weapon damage. It's arguably the worst drawback of IED builds.

is there a cap on life and mana leech? and how much do i need for endgame

No there is no cap but the effectivnes of it is reduced in higher difficulties (i forget the values so pls someone post them)

1/15th effectiveness on hell difficulty. But it's even worse for bosses. But I don't remember the exact values for bosses.

Skill change for new Shower of Rocks on Barb:
"Bonus magic damage now depends on your base Strength + your total Weapon Physical Damage modifiers (EWD from gear and skills)"

Can someone better explain what "Weapon Physical Modifiers" work here? Is this literally just the "Enhanced Weapon Damage" stat, or is there more? And what skills give EWD??

What is the main benefit of doing Dimensional Labyrinth's over say farming Duncraig for SU bias? I hit 130 last night having previously just sat at Duncraig the whole time and thought I'd give it a go. Got to Tier 5 comfortably just don't want to dump ACs into 6+ if it's dead content.

Is there certain items that only drop from there or is the riftstone content really just optional side content to challenge yourself? I know they drop mystic dyes but obviously that's cosmetic. Thanks!

I generally have more sets, SU, SSUs drop in Labs than Dunc.
Dunc doesn't drop all uniques, only zones of 130lvl and above do.
Labs can drop all items in the game, including lab specific items (effigies), at lab11-15 you get a sure 2 UMO drop if u can kill Phoboss, which are probably better drops than 90% of SUs.
Dunc is however faster and safer, so you get more runs for the same time investment.
I wouldn't farm labs w/o a character kinda built around it, it can be very frustrating when map spawns with 30 enemies right around your entrance point and you die in a blink of a second.

so is there a max amount of non ladder characters you can have

Thanks for the info. I'm 131 now (cold sorc). I just tried two runs at a T6 and it might be the enemy absorb (although I sit at -100% enemy cold resist) but it feels like a whole different planet of difficulty. First time I got slapped by Gharbad the Weak and then next attempt I got told to politely leave by Astrogha when I accidentally killed a Abyssal Shrine. Guess back to Dunc I go!

My unholy caster paladin is reaching it's end limits in terms of clearing 130/135 dungeons (too squishy) and mostly using it for farming rifts now.

Wondering which class/build has the best potential for clearing the 130/135 dungeons? (Assuming access to all SSUs, runewords, jewels, charms/trophies etc).

Thanks!
