What is movement penalty? How is it working/calculating? Is it better to use light plate for rw?

try equiping ancient armor and the penalty will show in d2 stats but yes light plate is better in terms of movement speed

[Jampula]

Always use light plate. Minor def loss doesn't matter much, but velocity loss is a huge gimmick now that game has slowed down globally.

Why i can't use sigil on rw? I even tried to add all my stat points in case of similar mechanic to regular orbs, when You can't add more than Your actual lvl.

[Immortal2563]

Sigil does not work with RWs.

Guys how is limpet laser working now? Does it work like it used to work before (inheriting player caster stats) or does it work with new trap mechanics and get literally 0 elemental pierce on tree?
Trapsin seems really bad in mid-late game, and I remember limpet laser being really strong.
Is there any guide for the skill in post 2.0?

Also is limpet unaffected by catalyst trap now?

Limpet now has nothing to do with traps, and work like a normal cold spell. It's 2 quirks is that it get more mine per slvl, giving 4 mines at lvl 60 and 3 at 40 (then you add the +1 mines from

and the relic). The other is that for some reasons it works with melee devotion and anathema, making the build pretty tanky if you only use limpet.

It's pretty strong currently but suffer from how much it multihit (teleporting bosses at best start to dance around the screen, at worst goes whenever then want), and also of course that it's very dependent of the layout. So some bosses are literally impossible (riftwalker III), some near impossible/very unsuited (atanna, for some reasons the walls are further than the unwalkable terrain. And anyway she teleport and tank too much), but I kinda had it working pretty well for Giyua and Uldy.

Also the layout thing make it pretty random in labs, I could destroy T7 without issues due to how narrow it is (and that the skill shoot beyond the funny doors), which is very nice due to how horrible T7 is for many builds, but I couldn't do T8s at all.

I see tyvvm
It's always been kind of niche skill, but since labs got streamlined, I guess she really needs the correct maps to do well.

Is there something with a drop bias towards unique mystic orbs ?

Need 3 for Scosglen charm and I got none in my singleplayer playthrough.
