until you craft an axe which adds at least 300 maximum dmg. It may take as many as 200 shrines to hit this number. Reroll the Wrathchild using the TU upteir recipe until you lucky it for AR (and ED if you have enough AC to keep trying for both). That’s the only comment I have at this moment

Ive tried to roll something, and this is the result:

and i should stick with it. What do you think?

[aerial]

yes this is one is better than TU.
But there is point in understanding that TU isn't that easy to replace, don't look only at damage, other stats are good too, including slow for instance.

As for Witchuinter's cap being better than craft, depends on rolls, for damage. For survivability against elemental damage it will always be much better.
I'd definitely use it over craft in scosglen or labs. In easier areas, debatable.

Currently preping my first build (Pally) and getting my Barb leveled up to eventually also run scosglen... So its like lab in Max Resistances are a must have to survive? Pretty sure i have damage covered but, Defenses i figure that place is pretty rough since it has so much going for it for farming.

[aerial]

Ye, its max res stacking for most part, scosglen has this too, you can compare to about lab 5 (now lab starts from tier 6). You notice that in scosglen elemental attacks respond really well to increase in corresponding max resistance.

Hi, is this build better than ww in terms of doing ubers?

Just tried out Scosglen and you definitely going to need all the Max Cold and Light Res you can get for sure. Fire doesn't seem too big of a deal however with careful play on the fire tree things. Those Elemental Ghosts things though will rip you a new asshole without massive cold and light res.
