Radiance bonus is not capped.

It is possible to code a Sacred Unique one-handed sword that gives bonuses if the character isn't wearing a shield?

Guys, any methods to increase flat DR? I'm playing as wolf druid but the only source of DR I can get is from amulet and rings (capped at 90 DR). Now I'm stuck with Quov Tsin.

there are a bunch of tu's and SU's that provide more of it . check the docs on which of them may go well with your wolf .

Try craft/farm rare sacred Body Armor/Paladin Shields/Barbarian Helms, they can give up to 50 DR.
And Shields/Amulets/Helms can give up to 30 DR.

Then you can MO amulet and ring for more DR.

You can get over 230 DR easily. Combine with some from Tier unique/ Sacred unique, you have more than enough for QTsin.

Hiya.
This might be a stupid question, but, in your opinion, what is the easiest and beefiest build to play that still can kill stuff moderately fast?
I'm not looking for a build with 666 oskills where I have to be a keyboard ninja, just something simple but still beefy / reliable.
Is there anyhting like that or do I have to 'git gud'?

I am not good at all at this game but besides getting good you can try Xbow necro. Easy to play (spamming Widowmaker) and easy to gear. There is a guide for it in the Guide Section of the forum.
Also please use Short Question thread for something like this in the future!

if you like 2-buttons builds , you should try the traprat

Sorry, and thank you for moving my thread.
While these ideas sound nice - are they tanky enough to survive Hell with capped resistances?
Because various builds I tried always get one shot by Hell bosses - even with capped resistances and sometimes even 20+% phys res; which is why I was looking for a beefy/tanky build.

yes , the rat is tanky enough after level 90 (lifeshield). you only need to get some cheap gear with %physycal damage reduction (
