but whenever I go there, there are always a few enemies whose shields just refuse to drop.

Toraja monsters become invulnerable if they get chilled. Don't use cold spells, reanimates with cold attacks (act V frozen lords) or Ice Elementals.

and then it takes like 30 mins for them to lose shields again.

That's just nonsense.

Go do toraja for 5min and tell me if its nonsense.

Go to town, wait 30 s, should be fixed.

exactly, same solution goes for CoV so Crystal Ball can take damage from spells. Though I think it's instant, no need to wait 30 sec if a monster is chilled.

Do minions get the -40 to all res in higher difficulties like a player?

Do minions get the -40 to all res in higher difficulties like a player?

Not sure but 75% minion res on gear/charms will cap them in destruction.

The penalty is -100 and they do. But slvl 5+ minions get 75% base resistance bonus, add to that 75% from items and you get to the max. On Hatred and Terror they will become immune to elemental dmg, on Dest they will have 50% res (cap).

Hello everyone, I am new here. Just downloaded the game 3 days ago, and now I am stuck at destruction - just cleared terror.

I play light/cold sorc, lvl 120 with sacred crafted staff + TU 6 amours and gears, all max -% lightning, +% lightning spell, +%spell damage.

My amour is 70k, hp 10k with 75 all res- terror.

I am now trying to farm duncraig and fauztinvile (terror) for base sacred/ shrines/ runes, but my killing power is very low. Moreover, mobs in duncraig just 1 hit me at the entrance everytime I enter. What should I do to increase survivability and killing power in the two dungeons?

Farm some dcows or tcows for your base items. Get rings/ammy and reroll them till you get +1 skill, lightning dmg/-enemy light res. -200 for heroics total.

till you get a better staff, with those 2 items alone you can reach -100 enemy res. find sacred leather gloves/boots/sash/circlet/staff etc ornate shrines and get tstone dmg up. Aim for +3 skill on helm/+2 on chest/+3 amulet/+1 each ring and at least +10 on staff with spell/lightning dmg.

Acquire charms, sorc can do a lot of charms even in honorific gear thunderstone op.

Duncraig has explosive barrels which will 1 shot you, and theres a bunch of immune mobs it can be slow to progress there unless geared / multi elemental dmg. Stick to zones like cows/Tran athulua for now

Thanks mate! By charms do you mean uberquest charms/ character charms? I have finished the basic challenges until black road, have character charm. Where can I find Comaetho rune? I get a lot of random lv 100 runes, but not the ones needed.
My merc is the bloodmage, but the two of us are kinda useless against magic immune mob like the ones in faulztinvile. Should I switch to a barb ?

Thank you, I have read these docs, but they don't really talk much beyond the beginning parts. After shrine crafting, I feel kinda clueless due to the lack of guide, esp for items.
