no not really. i made a lvl 100 ring around lvl 20, so I doubt it has any effect.

I was just curious about what others experience for drop rates on great runes and primal runes. I've only done 10 or so teganze/toraja runs but have only seen a few elemental essences and a krys. Also wondering how quickly I should be able to clear these farms. Thanks for any info you can provide!

If you on SP, use median offline tool.
Open char->find your item->right click&select remove MO.

How exactly does "Life On Attack" work? I'm trying to build a bowzon currently. If I had something that gives me "30 Life On Attack", would I be healed for 30 HP every time I spammed Barrage? If not, I'm assuming "Life After Each Kill" and "% Life Stolen Per Hit" would be better right?

Also, what does "Reanimate As" do? Does that mean if I kill something with my bow, I have a chance to spawn a minion from that corpse?

Life on Attack (LoA) requires you to hit your target with a melee weapon. It doesn't work with ranged attacks or spells.
Life Stolen Per Hit (LL) works with melee attacks and ranged attacks, but not spells.
Life After Each Kill (LaeK) works with melee, ranged, and spells, as long as you land the killing blow.

So, yes, LL and LaeK are what you want.

Reanimate As x means there's a chance the slain monster will reanimate as whatever "x" is, as long as that monster leaves a corpse, and regardless of how you kill it (again, as long as you are the one landing the killing blow--not a summon, merc, or reanimate). The reanimated monster lasts only a short time. It will be friendly and attack your enemies when they're in range. It won't follow you or teleport with you like summons will.

LL also only leech based on physical damage.
If you choose LL, increase your physical dmg because its not effective if you have 60%LL but low physical dmg.

it will, unless you blink over walls or enter other parts of dungeon eg . what you reanimate in catacombs lvl 1 won't follow you in catacombs level 2 .

if for example you do an uber with no such situations (k3kba or cows or others as example - open space - ) they will follow all over the map , unless you get too far from them , either by running too fast or blinking too far . most of them are moving slow , reason why you are left with the impression that they don't follow - they try to follow , but they can't keep up with your pace , so when you get outside their following range (limited AI), they are left behind

here's a very short example https://www.twitch.tv/videos/349808311

Was the Runeword "Siegfried" nerfed in a recent patch? I found a few links that show a helm that adds 333-1000 fire, lightning, and cold damage. However, the one I made and the one listed on the site is much lower. Was it too OP, or are you able to uptier runewords and mine is just lower because I made it in a tier 3?
