I don't think anybody has used a throwing barb in a long long long time.

throw barb is fine , be it retaliator or overkiller . in fact he's a bit safer since he doesn't go into action head first . but compaired with the melee versatility (at leat 16 different ways to play as a melee , with lots of combination of main skills and stances) , he's outshined .

i did . and made(updated) 2 miniguides for them

I'd recommend strength melee necro (scythe) as a good startup build, since he can wreck face with cheapass gear

Stealthmaster made a phenomenal melee necro guide for all three variants of the build (strength, dex and proc)

How do i summon the butcher ? I'm a lvl 71 amazon in the hole 2 diff terror.

Thank you I was wondering why I couldn't summon him.

what does starfire on ctc on meele attack on ssu mace do? I hear it breaks enemy resistance, but there are other spells that do that and you can mitigate immunes with other damage types.

Why is starfire a 2% ctc on meele attack... what does it do??? I tried looking it up in docs and i found it but description is a joke.. wtf is kot? why does internal name contain innate when there's no other spell name similar to it?

indeed , it breaks immunities . it used to be a sorceress main spell in the mana tree a few years ago , but it was removed due to it being overpowered . immunity shield fights were a joke for any sorceress. all they had to do was to cast it on the opponent then spam a high damage spell (flamestrike/whatever else)

at the moment it's only 2% to prevent people from cheesing such fights with that skill (proc) . even if it was 5% , it would have still been very strong , because many builds have very fast attacks , and would have proc a lot of it + there are dual wielders that may equip 2x such weapons for a double chance to proc .

documents -> faq's -> lfaq -> search for "starfire"

you can combine it with a 2% ctc mythal on attack from rare amulet , if you really want a higher chance to break elemental immunities with a weapon damage build

You can also find Bane on a few items to use with physical damage builds , or bear stance to ignore the physical immunities of the undead (k3kba skeletons can be killed with bear stance on , even if they are still protected by the immunities granted by the totems)

Void Seeker

with ctc phase bomb . you can use that with a skill that converts 100% of your physical damage to some element . (if you hit phased opponents with physical damage you get f'ked)

from lfaq : " You can use resistance reducing skills (*1) to remove an immunity off an enemy. These skills do however only work at 1/5 effectiveness if the target is immune "

this means that the -40% resistances from Mythal is actualy just -8% resistances vs immunes . trying to cheese fights with such procs will take a lot of time , but if it's the only way ... good luck !

No you can't, you still connect with your initial swing. Actually you even die using a ranged attack.

so if i theoretically get -500%res(looks like not possible) i will pierce immune enemies?
