Impossible. With just two lines. I have 3-4 lines and get like 5-10 in an hour. You are doing something wrong.

ima try that later, thanks.

edit: checked out a few pages on realm item page, i gotta ask where do they get those low level crafts? i think maybe hatred fautz or dunc?

question about dual claw assassin. If i using twin fang strike (TFS) for main attack (gear - full witchhunter set), 100% ctc Crucify on Attack --- working with TFS attack or i need using normal melee attack for proc?

How much pierce to elements does quov sin have?

His Trinity Beam pierces 250 fire/cold/lightning resists. Don't forget that Destruction difficulty pierces additional 100 resists.

oh. I just crafted gear to stack resists... I have a lot more stacked than that. I guess DR and replenish are probably better to use then.

Actually 450 fire/cold/lightning resists is enough as well as 92 max f/c/l resists. Add here 60 flat damage reduction from mystic orbs and you're invincible to his beam. Unfortunately, you won't be able to max poison resists (not enough MO space and sockets for perfect Turquoises) so I usually stop at 88 max poison resists and about 370 poison resists. Just drink a potion to interrupt damage from Hive and you'll be fine. There's no shame of drinking hp potions as only barb, paladin and fire sorc (I don't include Vampiric Icon here) can afford high regen

Yea i'm using a din, I have 450 stacked resists for all easily + I'm MOing flat DR to go with blessed life for phys component and replenish. Tainted blood sorts poinson out too. Ty for info.

Can anyone recommend which runewords I should consider using over it? Also, what types of things should I keep an eye out for that would be better than said runewords?

Depends on the build:

- Wildfire = Ohm - Xis runeword axe is best.

- Pummel (smaxed ofc) = Any weapon with big physical damage, other nice extras are of course procs and CB. So here we have the usual suspects - Nimmen SU War Axe & Tal - Xis runeword (war axe is the best 1h and if you go yolo 2h then giant axe). Other nice options - 6x Stone runeword, Headsman SSSU axe, Cranium basher SSSU 2h hammer,

Build is Pummel. Thanks for the info. I'm currently not ready for those options unfortunately. I am playing from scratch on SP and have have this character that has just reached Destruction, and one other that has finished a handful of the easiest ubers. Any S(S(S))U options will only come my way by chance, and I'm not farming for Xis runes yet. Is Sharp Beak a reasonable option to start with (it seems better than the TU Double Axe), or would something like Xar (Gehenna) or one of the Axe Runewords be a smarter option?

use the Sharp Beak untill you can get a better option . it's decent enough for mid game . i recommend you go and farm some Xis as soon as you can

you might also want to try a 1h axe (double mo'ed) Gehenna RW + shield for more defence
