I have enjoyed the new Median XL patch for a few days now and really like it. I have a Wolf druid who is massacring Destruction TA but who does not do very well against single target ubers.

I would really like to experience the whole patch, so I would like one build that can basically go through all ubers/charms with decent gear. I remember way back when I played (2008 I think) I had a melee assassin with Naginata who plowed through all the content easily. Is that still the case?

Also, I have found a couple of Sacred Uniques now, but they are always the first one mentioned in the document. Do I understand it correctly that the second column is for SSU and the third SSSU? And that there are secret uniques too, aka. SSSSU (..lol)?

Thanks in advance!

Holy melee paladin.

You might respec and use Rain of Fire skill for strong single targets.

In fact, there is no build that can go through all ubers. You have to respec for some hard ubers, especially the purify bosses.

However, I would recommend Totem/Summoner Necromancer (safe build and good kill speed) or Treewarden Druid (Thorn strike as main skill, bosses die after several hits).

Yes.

It means you have too many affixes on the weapon and the game can't display all the lines for the stats.

Pick up an item, hover it over the sword, then click the sword to swap the item you're holding, then click it into the cube. add 3 pgems and oil of disjuction (if its a runeword), then transmute to break the sword down away from the jewels.

Make or find new jewels with more similar affixes to reduce the number of lines the item has for affixes so it can be displayed when you click your sword.

Is there no way to dual swing anymore on a barb?

Void uber.

What weapon value do I select in Speedcalc for calculating Sorc FCR BPs with an Orb? Is it just 1H swing or are the FCR values the same as a Staff, but 1 frame slower for each BP?
