Which one is better: Terror-Fauztinville at players 8 or Destruction-Fauztinville at players 1?

If you want sacred uniques and jewelry, destruction is your only option

I can now farm Dest TA very easily... I am finding too many SUs to keep. Is there a general rule of thumb for what to keep and what to sig? Or am I just checking each item individually?

Also are there any SUs I can find that would be worth an Auhe rune?

If you have 95% chance, he's going to be teleporting all over and it will be much more difficult to land purifies. To each, their own.

But what about Baal? That's what I'm wondering about. I'll give Tantrum a shot (probably Ort bow first since I don't think I have enough Shrines atm to craft a good Tantrum bow). Also got a few SUs with decent %Absorb and flat Absorb, so gonna see if stacking that does anything against Trinity Nova.

I'll probably try Wyrd first for Uldy himself and see how far that gets me (if I ever get past Baal, that is), so I'm not sure yet how high vs. low AR will affect that fight yet.

Does deadly strike work with skills like stormblast (100% conversion)?

nvm, found answer

Skills that convert Physical damage to a different type (Magic, Fire and Cold Arrows, Lightning Bolt, Fists of Fire, Berserk, Concentrate, and Frenzy (when synergized by Berserk)) do so after DS or CS are applied, so converted damage is doubled.

You can check items in docs. There are 3 columns, the right one will be rarer than the left one: in order SU:SSU:SSSU. So normally it means pricesSSSU would be higher than SSU. But the meta will make items more or less popular. You can watch in trading section what items are on the hype, when they have high price.

Rule of thumb : items that are extremely important to the mainstream builds in a season = highest value. Same goes for great runes used in important runewords (Auhe is worth more than Sha'ad mostly because of Auhe belt which is probably the best belt for a melee character out there , despite Sha'ad being rarer as a drop in toraja)

Does EWD boost TTAD? Don't have any sources of TTAD rn to test it myself.

EWD doesn't boost it.

Is there any attack rating threshold i should aim for?
I know that I want 95%, but I'd like to have an rough estimate

on what difficulty?
