But there seems no way to go the other area. Nothing clickable and jitan teleport is not enough range to go northwest on the map.

Apparently you should reroll the map.

In the patch notes, "optical detector now grants +1 to Maximum Skill Levels (due to Mirror Mirror removal)"

Is there another charm that gained +1 to max due to Witch Queen removal, that I'm just not seeing in the notes? Or did we all just get -1 to max skill levels this season? xD

Lost a max skill.

Is Melee necromancer viable w/o high-end gear?

My sad attempt so far: Completed LC1, LC2(slowly) and Managed to get to D-Baal. Can't kill him in timely manner. Carnage seems to be quite strong against individual adds, but bosses seems to be quite evasive, hits rarely. Do i lack AR or something?

Tried K3K, not enough dmg to take down totems safely before getting overrun and killed by adds.

Tried TA, Dunno if i lack dmg and defense, but i die when there 10+ archers shooting at me.

you need the void ring made from the scrolls + ring dropped by the sub-bosses in each of the areas.

Probably lack AR. Hover over your attack rating and check your chance to hit after attacking a boss. Should say "chance to hit (name of enemy/boss)"

Lure skeletons away from the totems into a space you can kill them outside of the shield range of the totems. I hope you've done K3K before to compete your Ennead challenge if you've already gotten to DBaal.

For Tran, you need high defense, high %DR (50% is cap), and life leech to keep you alive. Also helpful is life on attack/striking/kill.

I put + energy factor to spell damage orb on my weapon in cube, and all of my spells hydra, and ice ( I am holy caster) still showed the same amount of damage, I reequipped the weapon, and recast solar flare.

With very small mana/energy numbers on ur char, the change from even a smaller energy factor wont make any difference. U will only see the change after u get sime high energy or some high energy factor

What are you calling very small? I am level 99, and had energy factor of about 50 on the weapon, that should do SOMETHING shouldn't it? Otherwise you are wasting orbs for very little difference, meanwhile every melee has 20 ways they can upgrade their damage =/ I just feel like I'm beeing ripped off here. Or it's glitched, and not working.

If you're talking about elemental spell damage, then get things to boost your spell damage and pierce. Energy factor doesn't make much of a difference until you get a lot of energy stat and energy factor. Elemental pierce will not show higher damage in the sheet, but you will notice it in play.

his trininy beam ofc, that was why i mentioned that i have full res/absorb.

If it's still like it was last ladder, I had to stack TONS of flat damage reduction in order to tank the beam.

so it's impossible to tank/manfight/melee him if i'm not playing a pala? 30 flat dr x 2 rings and 1 amulet = 90, seems not enough at all. I have to keep building my dmg until I can hurt him off screen or abuse trap skills?

Does melee and xbow necro both feel kind of lackluster compared to Ultimative or am I just remembering wrong? Something just feels off, and I can't keep a similar flow to how they were before. Mainly talking parasite and widowmaker here. Both feel a lot slower/squishier.
