It's not used for anything. Pretty sure it's just dropped to hint that Brachyceran's crystal drops are used in the Laz charm upgrade (Book... Glorious Book of Median.. etc)


I see thanks!

There is a secret use for it, not listed in the docs. You should know this you write guides Kappa

I'm not sure what you're asking. How could a minimum damage exceed the maximum? The only thing I could figure is +minimum damage affixes on items

Could you give a better, specific example, like using x item with x spec/char, etc?

I have no idea, in that case. If it resets itself upon saving/exiting/rejoining, perhaps its a display error from some buff she had the previous game that somehow retained its value, visually, and just resets back to the proper value upon re-equipping. I know people have said before that there's some thing with mercenaries having some bugs (I believe its mentioned in the docs as well under the Hirelings page?) that they can be bugged upon reviving or entering new games. There's my useless two cents :D

I'm pretty I was the one talking about it ( or other people responding to similar questions I had ). Afaik, if your minimum damage stat is 1 less than your max then every point put into minimum damage would also act like max damage. Another way of seeing it is that min dmg turns into simple flat dmg to your weapon. Now this i'm not sure what happens when you also add max damage while you're "exceeding max damage". I believe it's like for example, I have a weapon with 100-200 dmg. A modifier adds 199 min dmg. So my weapon now becomes 299-300 dmg. If I also add 100 max dmg then nothing will happen. Ofc i've never tested any of this. Also, min dmg is kinda rare enough that this really won't matter.

Finally got in to forums through EDGE no Chrome.

Any suggestions for Toraja farming? Any way to make edryems more powerful with Unholy paladin?

I have about 40% DR, Natasha legacy armor (no good usable SSU, SSSU). I think i could clear the level in 3 hours slowly.

If you have the Black Road Challenge skill unlocked, max that and use Hoplites, buffed with Tainted Blood. They have high avoid, along with the Blessed Life passive making them immune to physical damage. Buffing them with Tainted Blood will allow them to tank Lilith's poison attack (I believe it's Symphony of Destruction? -- irrelevant, they won't die.)

Keep your TB'd Hoplites summoned (they shouldn't die), and Edyrem/Divine Apparation on a hotkey. You'll have to do a lot of teleporting to collect all of your Edyrem/Hoplites on top of you. Just namelock and jump onto the archers/Morlu's as they come. Ideally, the hoplites will tank most of the incoming attacks, allowing your Edyrem to last a bit longer to drop the Toraja shields on the enemies.

Do your best to avoid large packs. Try to lure out a few at a time to an emptier area and manage the crowds this way.
