@Stealthmaster

Thank you very much. I will farm more signets and I will try to get some charms from the quest you described. I regret turning into signets some part of amazon set that I could use for respecing to bowazon.


I have other question. As I mentioned before, I was playing a pouncezone, so the gameplay looked like precast and pounce everything to death. Is there any other build that would require using more various skills and tactics? What about summon/reanimate necro?

Best regards

You're welcome.

You're right about the pouncezon gameplay. Yeah, it can be boring sometimes, but it's one of the best uberlevel farmers you can get. And one of the fastest, for sure :D

I see you want to use different tactics like skillswitching, summoning etc. I recommend you to try a caster sorc. You will use 3 type of skills (elemental-1, elemental-2, mana) so you can switch between them to deal with immunities. Also, it's far more easier to play a summoner sorc than summoner necro because as a sorc you get really nice minion synergies in the cold tree. Also, sorceress is not as squishy as a summoner necro, because you'll have to make dedicated minion stats gear, while sorcs can concentrate on elemental damage without sacrificing much caster stats for the minions.

Thank you for your answer. Median community is really great.
I am thinking more about nec, dunno why. I just like it. As to pouncezon, she is really fast. I haven't have so much killing speed in all my D2 career :-). I would like to try some other experience of Median XL.
Perhaps I should start playing on the realm.
Best regards

Realm is really great and, yes, the community is very friendly there.

Right now, I'm working with a melee necromancer guide. This time, I'm gonna add far more information about early and mid-game and the uberquests than the pouncezon guide. I'm exploring the full potential of the build so it will contain different strategies, different skillplanns etc. :)

I would advice you to add important breakpoints for the build that people should aim at, like IAS, FHR, total res etc.

I played melee nec many years ago, it was very fun, but I am aware that the mod developed alot since then.

Have a pretty early game Shaman Barb coming along, lvl 108, i'm curious if i'm multiplying the stats right from Lion Stance correctly, which currently is a 550% dam bonus.

Defender spirit-
Damage- 13278-13286x 550%= 73,029- 73,037

Lion Stance Magic Bonus per Base Strength= 1100%-1650%
Base Char strength- 1003

1003x 1100%-1650%= 11033-16549 Magic Damage

So the total damage in it's entirety would be 84,062-89,586 before enemy resistances are taken into account?

I don't feel like i'm getting that much damage from my spirits, though they do have good damage. How wrong am I doing this?

Edit: Unless Minion Damage isn't calculated separately from enhanced damage from Lion stance, then I would have to find out their base stats, and add my bonus minion damage onto lion stance.

I'm convinced this is just TL:DR
