That virus is a joke of the year. It just came to my country (one man got sick) and people are freaking out, pharmacys are out of desinfections and other stuff.

I'd pick Vine Companion over FoN. You get psn spell dmg as synergy, debuff, life and more Corona. Even strong Acid Fiends as you should max poison skills for Vine Companions synergy.

And here is where I realise that I'm on an old patch atm... xD

Sorry, caster druid. They are too fast for Rain of fire to be efficient, so I use poison Avatar. And acid fiends to "tank" the bloody Edyrems.

it sounds like you are either not dealing enough damage or your summons are not tanky enough . or both

what is your current gear and skillplan ?

Skill plan is max Plague avatar, Acid fiends, Pagan rites, lifeshield and all the synergies.
Thanks !

I'll do that. Thank you

Now that I have to put my hands in the crafting machine, there's still something I don't clearly understand :
I have to use a shrine to roll the affixes. In my case, Shimmering +(2 to 8)% to Poison Spell Damage -(3 to 5)% to Enemy Poison Resistance.
But the affix list in the docs says a druid helm can up to -25 %res.
Does it mean that the 2 figures stack (the one from the shrine and the core item potential ?) Or do I get everything wrong?

They stack, you get both the guaranteed affixes from the shrine and the random chance affixes based on the affix list here https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/wiki/affixes

Also, once you roll something you like you can do it one more time as a "shrine blessing". The shrine blessing recipe keeps everything as is and just adds the shrine affixes one more time. Be careful to use the "shrine blessing" recipe for this step or you'll just reroll all the affixes again. Also, you can only shrine bless an item one time.

Fantastic, now I know what to aim for. First gloves I made I did shrine crafting + blessing, but I had no clear plan.

I should also mention that the shrine blessing part just gives you the shrine affixes. You only get the random ones based on your item during the initial shrine crafting roll. Also, the shrine you bless with doesn't have to be the same kind of shrine as the one you shrine crafted with. Shrine craft as many times as you want until you get a roll you like. Shrine bless one time after that to give it a bit more of a boost.

Here's an older but still good video about shrine crafting and blessing.

Hello there, I'm curious to know at what point resistances stop helping you.
My main has like 350 each and it seems like he takes a lot less damage than my newer char who has 200 of each. They're both in the gold.. showing maxed.. But it seems like more is better.
Also curious about breakpoints for FHR Attack speed on wearwolf.. struggling to track that info down!
Thanks for your time all! ^_^
