It is low. I don't know how it is now with the new layout, but in previous patches, you were generally lucky to get 1 skull and 1 stone per sewer clear.

Oh only Goliaths drop the runes?

No no. Unformed land used to be the entire act 3 sewers area. Elementals drop the runestones and essences. the bottom floor with the goliaths is a separate uber boss and summoning uber boss to upgrade the first one

Ohhh alright thank you was worried fucking rats eating me and stuff

What's the best merc for a Lightning/Cold sorc? I've been using a bear act 2 follower the entire game, he was tanky af and never died, but now he dies way too often and doesn't really provide any real benefit to using if he's dying.

What should I swap to? I'm at level 120 and starting out in endgame stuff, doing Kurast3k and early summon uber bosses.

depends on ur situation might not be the mercs fault:
1. what area are u talking about?
2. what gear does he have? does he have life leach?
3. if you/he dies once and you revive him in the same game his stats are bugged, means they are way lower and he dies very easily, so rejoin after reviving and he has his usual stats

He dies a lot in Kurast3k, even with 15 Ice Elementals going around to split the tanking duty.
He does have life leech, only one on piece though. I gave him a couple set pieces that I found in early Destruction just to fill, and he's wearing the unique lance weapon that has Miasma on hit.
I actually didn't know about that last part, good to know, thanks.

But I'm still wondering if there's a better option than what I'm using now. It worked so far, but I'm new to MedianXL and still don't know what is the best

Anyone sup with Baal in Destruction mode? I finished up all my ubers / dungeons etc then I go to baal and it takes like 5 years to kill him sup with that? He had more health then the mini boss in uninformed land wtf lol

Am I correct to say that the Wildhunt helm is better than the Snakehair helm for bowazon ?

I was thinking about getting one of the Kabraxis' runewords on my sorc. specifically

Brocken (Xis)

.

So two questions there:

1. The runeword says "Crystal Swords" - does that mean that it's NOT going to work in a warp blade? Because there aren't any warp blade specific runewords.

2. Does it still work like other runewords - that i can put in 4 jewels and then the Ist + Kabraxis' rune? Or does the weapon have to have 2 sockets only?

I know that it sounds kinda stupid - but i want to make sure, because i cannot unsocket it afterwards.

is there somewhere good to get shrines and sacred rares in terror?

1. It says Sorceress Crystal Swords, which means only warp blade.

2. I think so (never used one). Also remember any Xis Rune RW requires level 121.
