If I am in an area (Terror Kurast 3000) where sets can an do drop, can ALL the sets drop there, or are some set items Destruction level only?

Thanks!


Pretty sure all sets (except yshari sets obviously), but they will be much more rare to obtain in terror than destruction.

what do you mean ? max block is 75% so your goal is to reach that value . for a dexterity based build most of the time you pot all points into dexterity anyway and enough points into str to hold the armors .
for abbandoned crafts (helm belt gloves boots) you get up to 10% when crafting and up+10% more after blessing . A decent craft must have at least 18% and some flat dexterity .
you get up to 30 flat dexterity when crafting , up to 30 more after blessing . anything above 45 flat in total is fine imo

here's the affix list https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/wiki/affixes

Destroyer shaman won't benefit stormblast or AH damage. It gives a small spell damage boost, not boosts to elemental weapon damage. The life and regen aura is nice though (if you're not already using
Khazra Plate
Khazra Plate
Ancient Armor (Sacred)

Defense: (8603 - 9489) to (10651 - 11748)
Required Level: 100
Required Strength:
2310
Item Level: 120
Demon Blood Aura
You and Undead Minions: Maximum Life +6%
26.6 Yard Radius

5% Chance of Crushing Blow
10% Deadly Strike
+(172 to 200)% Enhanced Defense
(20 to 25)% to Strength
(20 to 25)% to Vitality
Physical Resist 10%
Requirements +200%
Socketed (6)
).

Unseelie Lady is a great damage boost with her Burning Veil skill. Boosts damage a lot.

Vultures have a bloodlust proc, but only when they die, and most of the time, reanimates tank quite a bit of damage and you'll be clearing too quickly anyways to sit and wait for one to die.

Snow Witch and Succubus and Siren can all cast Lower Resist, but again, that's on death (see above).

Moon Knight and Pit Knight (pouncing winged things usually seen as soon as you use the Travincal wp) can use Dark Power, which gives Crushing Blow, Magic Damage to weapon, and IAS.

Razor Fur Titans have Thorns Aura. Bronze/Silver/Gold TItans have Fire/Cold/Lightning Resist auras (respectively) similar to the D2LoD's paladin auras.

Void Archons are super nice ones. They reduce enemy speeds and damage and prevent monster healing. Check necromancer summon tree for better explanation on that aura.

Alpha Centaurs can use Colloseum (see paladin holy melee skill tree) for a nice AoE debuff effect.

Rock Maul and Stone Hammer Demons use Shower of Rocks (check your own skill tree for that debuff effect).

Gloopers use Miasma (check sorceress tree for that debuff), but they only use it as soon as they're reanimated and usually have a long cooldown before the next one.

Basilisk uses Spellbind (Amazon Ennead skill) which can break physical resistance and severely slows down the enemies hit by it (although you shouldnt be doing much physical if you're going with the 100% lightning convert Stormblast, but still a cool thing to have).

Overall, Basilisk and Void Archons are generally my favorite ones for weapon damage characters.

When you have all charms, sigs and +155% dex you can reach about 3,1k dexterity which is max block when you have 6% block (for example an amazon with an ama shield RW Khalims Protector). So you basically need aba gloves, aba boots, a great shield for max block at least. Barbs excluded since they can easily reach it. For ama/sin if you do aba armor, helmet and belt too then you should be able to reach it with basic charms.
