Added quick links, that use the new code (thanks to suchbalance). Might be helpful if you're want to take a quick look at something :wink:

Looks good, Stealth. Maybe I should make some sort of a bbcode that formats a list with borders, background and other stuff to make a proper content table? If you have any design ideas let me know.

i've been dreaming about a background that looks like something like this ever since the item bb codes were implemented , the inventory you got in game where you can insert the item bb codes for people to check the gear you used instead of making a long gear list / screenshots of the item .

you can have a look at the Terrorblade miniguide early game gearing as example of what i meant and combine it with the image uploaded above . that's what i'd love to see :yay:

I have to give you a cookie (as soon as i figure out how to do that :bounce: ) . This is what i call a guide . I remember when MXL was young and builds were like hey guys i have sacred items and i will make a guide . UMAD? Sadly MXL guides don't sum up to anything that exceeds unity like Median 2008 builds that were selfusticient and adding some item combos together would increase power manyfold .

Sadly i can't give thumbs up but i am glad you mentioned a good early and midgame section as well as :
- Gabriel RW that nobody uses
-the awesome Balefire proc i first noticed when fiddling with Median Hardened
- Taqyia usage
- The fact that lemures do a bad job at protecting you because it takes time for stuff to die while Blood Thorns create a safezone in front . Let's remember how many people advocated for 1 pt thorns max lemures
- Rainbowcleave is a good item but i think you could elaborate on why items like Death Pit stake is bad (low attackspeed) , Herr Donner (low aoe proc and you lose skills + elemental dmg) and so on
- I would like to add that for UMP Shadow Avatar works while in Terror Strike so it can be used to kill stationary targets you can't get close to at a given time and that need to die asap
- I am glad you didn't pick eazymode buildmaking like use hivemind , use skills win game

I'm new to this game, so there is a lot I still don't get.
Can you tell me how to obtain those procs and oskill? And gear location too?

Lightning arena oskill is obtainable from rare (yellow) amulets. Vendors sell Oils of Renewal that are needed for rerolling your amulet.

Get Balefire proc from a rare/crafted crystal sword that you find in any location beyond Chaos Sanctuary on Terror difficulty. Collect every shrine you get and use shrinecrafting recipe on your sword.

Not sure if has been said yet, but in mid game Crystal Sword description it reads "Crystal Sword range 1, Flail range 2".
Actually Crystal Swords have range 2 and Flails have range 3.
It doesn't really matter, everyone gets the gist of it, but I still can't resist pointing it out. :mrgreen:

Thanks a lot. And about the Terror difficulty. Is it automatically change when I get to later act, or it is like a New game+ ?

When you kill Baal on Hatred, you gain a new rank and after that you get kicked to character menu. Then you select your char for a New Game and may choose between Hatred or Terror difficulty (useful if you want to complete LC1/Ennead challenge on SP without losing your map roll). Same rule applies later for Terror Baal.
