Moon strike does not really do enough damage, and the delay on Fulisade make is a less than ideal. Is that the only option to kill Astrogha without respecing as melee sorc?

Equip Endless Loop and use Charged Strike.

That did it, thanks!

Interesting fight as melee...
--> remove excess darklings and avoid their death beam
--> do NOT under any circumstances kill totem
--> when debuffed by Astrogha, teleport away till debuff ends, OR stand there and deal as much damage as possible before dying, lol

It took me like 10 deaths to figure out the mechanics properly and from them, the fastest method was just to deal as much damage as possible before she made jelly out of me over and over so overall, maybe 30-35 deaths, but if I wanted to waste like an hour or more, I think it can be done deathless using hit and run tactics. Anyway, a fun battle. Thank's again for the headsup on Charged Strike, worked like a charm!

Does extra elemental damage (such as Banish) get reduced by resistance, or does that come after in the damage calc?

Also, pally Servants of Valor do not gain pierce from Sanguine Covenant, right? IMO this makes the fire damage upgrade for servers nearly useless. Unless Sanguine Covenant is actually an aura debuff?

The "show item level" option in the settings does not appear to work for me. Is this a known issue, or am I overlooking something?

Banish/etc. reduce enemy flat MDR, so it gets reduced by resistance and isn't affected by any of your other damage modifiers (spell damage, WDM, or anything like that).

Sanguine Covenant just gives you extra pierce, doesn't debuff enemies.

You just throw it in the cube with the essence, like it says on the treasure: "Cube with Essence/Runestone to Roll Stat"

All random, doesn't matter what you use.

Cube with ghost trance from spirit of giyua (replaced zorun tsin) for:
+1 to All Skills
+(11 to 40) to all Attributes

Remember that you must add the 20 essences/runestones first, then you cube it with the Ghost Trance.
