Its really annoying and pretty much everyone can agree on that.

Well it clearly still serves a purpose, especially with quest lockdowns being a thing. Back in d2 you would lose exp, gold and a corpse you need to recover (easily over 5s or more, with bonus chance to lose all gear) - sigma penalty is a joke in comparision. A rather essential mechanic which can easily be circumvented by: not dying.

You can't hit the big maggot in the maggot lair with Rotting Flesh. I tried from all angles but it simply doesn't work. Not a huge problem since you still have Dream eater but it's still a bug.

It has a lockout timer on a giant banner as you enter the arena, it's really hard to miss. You probably just didn't see the notification that you can't re-enter or you placed a TP poorly off the map so you have no walkable space to return to.

causing his max poison resist to cap at 77 for whatever unknown reason.

Is it possible to make all the pillars in Fauzt non-targetable by homing skills? It's frustrating having Banshees haul off to attack nothing, and these things are all over the level. This happens in TA (despite no snakes present) and other places as well, I'm sure.

Screenshots taken using my nose.

Necromancer Jinns give 2% -enemy resist less than is displayed on the skill. Skill level 4 (granting -13%) my -enemy fire resist jumps from 22 to 33. Same for all the other enemy resist. Tested with D2stats only.

Some thoughts on poison necromancer:

Rotting Flesh seems to be okay. But it's awful that there is no poison skill that can help you against bosses. Even using Dream eater doesn't help much if you don't also focus on magic spell damage. I'm currently stuck at duriel in nightmare. Not really stuck, but I just didn't want to continue after 7 deaths against him with his life still being at half. I have around 47 k damage if my memory serves me right. So for farming it looks pretty good. but the lack of boss killing ability is pretty severe.

I'd suggest the follwing: add a poison component to dream eater. Make that poison component scale with base points into Rotting Flesh. Do the same for the magic/physical part of Dream eater with a synergy to Boneyard. Make it so you can't put multiple points into either Rotting Flesh or Boneyard if you already have 2 points in the other, and scale the damage of Dream eater down so it is the same with the full Boneyard synergy as it is now on every level.
Ideally you'd have like 3 poison damage on Dream Eater if you're skilling Boneyard and like 3 magic damage if you skill Roting Flesh. That way Dream eater would be the way-to-go boss killer ability no matter the skills you use. As for Pestilence - you can still go the physical router with Carnage doing insane single target damage, so no synergy needed there.

StF skill appears in zon right click menu (when you hover over rmb skill) while having Icepick equipped enven tho StF is a proc. just a display issue as you cannot select it.
