Catalyst of Learning disappeared from my inventory, I didn't drop it I was just clicking around in my inventory and then it was gone, now it's not dropping from Summoner in Nightmare or Cain. How to get another one?

no. 75 is 75


Pretty sure he's asking in regards to debuffs/curses that lower the minion resists, and its a decent question. Will overstacking their resists counter -resist curses?

yes that's true, i was wondering if the minions get affected by 1) the additional pierce in t9 and t10 labs and 2) the res curse, cause i noticed my bear starts to die rapidly from t9 onwards and that feels far more than the additional damage from enemies should accomplish (t8 does not do anything with his survivability for example, and thats a huge elemental dmg increase). playing with an IED bow build, so not overstacked minion res for dmg, and frequently playing together with a psi-sin, hence -elemental res curse. i've seen some summonmancers on notarmory with crazy minion res settings like way over 150% and was wondering if that does anything.

i mean, i guess its fine that i have to recast the bear in a t10 lab pretty much on cooldown, but i would like to understand how it works.

Overstacking minion res does nothing nor for curses and additional pierce. That's the reason why you will never ever see summoner doing labs 9-10

are the odds of classes for relics evenly distributed? i'm assuming it is, but i'm asking because i've had i think 14 relics drop but none have been for my class (necro). just wondering if this is bad rng, etc.

thanks!

All classes have equal chance.

i think that majority will agree that this is madness. Class relics absolutly useless, what chances of good relic drop, i can assume that its none

i think that majority will agree that this is rng. while getting class restricted, relics also got buffed and some otherwise ridiculously overpowered relics were introduced. this is probably only a one off season to have some fun with relics and rng does not like fun sometimes, true. i find all the poison relics for barbs for example... never play barbs though. too bad.
