Short Questions Thread

I am doing Lucion to get the wormhole... But this season it seems like it regenerates/heals so fast. I let Malik do some damage but if I don't enchant him right away with the tome of possession, then it will heal back to full life in a matter of seconds.

Is anything different this season's Lucion from the previous one? How can I avoid it heals? Last patches I had no problem killing it, but because it wasn't regenerating his life very fast when not enchanted.

Iirc this one now drops from normal andariel, and the catalyst of learning from nightmare summoner. If you lose them, I think you can now buy them from larzuk.

Just got a Qarak's will to drop so i'm attempting to use an act 5 mercenary, but he seems to get annihilated as soon as he steps into Duncraig. Is there any way to boost his survivability or are mercs pretty much relegated to lower level ubers in terms of usefulness?

Also, are procs affected by %spell damage?

Duncraig is not mercenary-friendly area, they'll died here and there

Yes, they work

Make sure you keep him at max resistances and try to get 50% phys res too. Remember that mercs get +1 life regen per strength point, and A5 mercs specifically get 20%+0.5%per level to strength bonus (so 80% at lvl 120). That, combined with lots of life leech (MO it on weapon) helps them survive greatly.

for melee classes im general, isn't uninterruptable attack more useful than FHR?

Anyone else having trouble finding +skills jewellery?

I've only found 1 ring and one amulet with +skills this season (sorc, level 120). And the amulet was from Anya quest in hell.

Is it just extreme rng or did something change?

Is Arkaine's Valor Buged somehow ? or does it get calculated differently ?.

I get from it over 500 Vita incl charms etc but my life just rises around 500life ( melee necro, dagger) but that would mean that the 162% life+ doesnt count on it rigth ?.
