I would have chosen the 1st variant against Zorun Tzin (ratfinks deal physical damage), the 2nd against Kabraxis (most dangerous attack is magic-based). Haven't done Zorun much in XV though, but I assume the 2nd variant is viable as well if played carefully.

option 2 definetly, since you have good ortxis bow with gift of inner fire ;D

Any known issues with w10?

I'll be going over to w10 soon'

median issues.

No current issues. Diablo II (and D2SE) may not start unless you set their Compatibility modes to Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

I played MXL quite a bit... 2+ years ago and started again a few days ago. So much have changed, so many new skills, so many old ones are gone. I loved playing Totemancer, but now it looks like the skill that added to number of totems you could summon is gone, and they have built in reanimates (that IMO are super annoying since they C-block Rhatma's Priests from Talon's Hold and other awesome ones on gear). Anyways - Am now lvl 62 and doing... Fairly, OK'ish on Terror, running Fire/Lightning totems + Shadows and Void Archon but not overly impressed with dmg and durability of totems so far tbh. Are Totemancers still solid/viable endgame? And since I have no Necro endgame experience other than with very, very old versions of MXL years ago. Anyone able to give tips on build + itemization? Since I'm sure I've missed obvious stuff.

Was amazed to see MXL:U still going strong, love the mod! Hopefully one or more out there with TotemNecro experience endgame willing to give tips on build and/or itemization

Yeah with totem built-in reanimates it's not worth investing in Talon's hold.
I personally havent played end-game necro, but from what I've seen totem/malice is the way to go. You get avoid for totems and damage from passive and a few offensive spells to choose from. I'd build him like a caster, focusing on either fire or poison spell damage (funeral/rotting). I'd divide points between totems/shadows/malice spells, pumping a lot into Nightwalker.
You probably won't be able to farm very efficiently with just TU, but crafts should provide enough damage to make it easier.

Damn, I was a bit afraid the build would have to go that way... I was much more a fan of the old "Turret Master" playstyle with strong reanimates though. Thanks for the feedback. Guess I'll have to fiddle with the build to see if I can improve the performance a bit - Starting to feel like it's severely lacking on dmg now (late terror). Guessing crafts would be Fascinating / Shimmering depending on Fire/Poison build? Not Quiet.

Well you can of course skip malice tree and do totem/summoner if you prefer a more passive playstyle. Yeah was thinking of elemental spelldamage crafts. Necro gets only 1 hp per vita so quiet shrines would be a waste.
From my limited experience with necro the light totem was slightly inferior to cold/fire. I believe cold one has no ND, but shorter range, so it has potential for the most dps.
