i'm new to this forum and have just recently installed the mod. (this mod

Right now I'm in act 2 but keep getting almost insta killed with my amazone, i know resistance plays a big part, but i dont know how to effectivly up the level (no more resistance on gems) also there is no life leech on skulls.
Can someone give me so tips and how to get resistance and maybe lifeleech.
Second thing i have a problem with is the mod it's self (on youtube videos) i see in clear text what a skill does ect. but on my game there is no way to see what the skill does (the white letters)
Also i don't see on what item i can put the mystic orb (probably also the white letters) Has anyone seen this issue before?
