Short Questions Thread

Hello dear community ! I am trying to find what the spell called Gamma Field does.Can someone explain it to me?

1- Is ethereal higher or equal damage compared to 50% ed on a weapon? Just got an eth scythe and I'm kind of wondering if I,m just better off with a non-eth version with ed on it.

2- "Enhanced Damage stat now caps at 200%" Does that mean that new ed% cap for trial'd weapons is 375%? (60 superior, 40% lucky, 5x15% MO, 200% RW affix).

Ethereal items gain 50% base weapon damage (meaning %ED bonuses will have a greater effect) but you can't MO them, which often makes them useful for Xis RW's, as opposed to a regular non-eth which you can MO and roll a more customized item.

Base items cap at 35% ED, and Oil of Luck can add 20% ED. You'll get 55% ED from a perfect roll + 75% ED from MO's = 130% ED excluding the RW, which would mean the highest roll, apart from Xis RW's, would seem to be 330%.

Gamma Field is a posion dmg type spell that, when casted, leaves a wide AoE contagion field. It tends to stick to the walls, so narrow passages will be fully affected by it. The damage per second is moderate, while the period of effect is very long, so in endgame you'll have smth like 1M dmg over 50 seconds (roughly). You can try to calculate the dmg here: http://dev.median-xl.com/?script=skillcalc

Also, Vampires from Inner Cloister Cathedral cast this spell.

Thanks for your answer, and jesus christ at that half dmg nerf! I guess I understand now why he doubled the life leech % effectiveness.

edit: whoops, we forgot to double the value of MO (trial'd), so thats 55% luck+superior, 150% ed for MO and 200 from RW, doing a total of 405 ed.

Just installed D2 and LOD, DL'd the mod file and pasted all of the files into the D2 folder as instructed by the the read me, but when I create a new character and try to load in the game I get an error. The game hangs on a loading screen w/ the music still playing. The error message pop up says:

Halt
Location:, line #2233
Expression: Unrecoverable internal error 0066a65d

I have no other mods installed or any modifications made.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

There is no Luck Trial MO anymore.

Hey guys, i started my adventure with Median today. I was looking at some guide and i came across Honorific gear. How can i make Honorific gear? I believe they removed Meditation Candles and Sacrifical Hearts so that means there is no Honorific gear anymore?

> MARK OF INFUSION: new item used to create honorifics, dropped by Shenk on all difficulties

Mystic orbs have been updated - most honorifics are probably worse now especially if they needed -enemy resistances.
