Killing P1 safely is far more yielding than dying 30x at the first mob on P7.

Is Lemures viable as a main skill on an unholy pally now?

Its targeting was reworked to focus on monsters closer to you instead of traveling to random enemies farther away and it had its targeting speed doubled if I remember. It can be viable, but I think it suffers from ND pretty badly. Blood Thorns has been the optimal one for UHM for a while now, but would be nice to try it and let us know how it goes.

What is ND? No damage? I noticed it seems to sometimes do 0 damage or it does the damage and then the HP just comes back

ND stands for next delay.

For speedcalc, does ias and fhr from wolf stance count as skill or effective ias and fhr?

Like RIshab said, ND is Next Delay, meaning the number of frames the attack takes between damage application.

I think Diablo uses 25 frames per second?

If, for example, you're using a skill that hits 25x per second, it will hit every frame. If it has ND=5, then you'll hit once every 5 frames, even though the skill says it hits 25x per second.

If you want added sockets, you'll have to remake the honorific in a higher tier item. You can use Arcane Crystals to uptier the base item, but it only increases the defense or damage of it. The extra sockets come from a new honorific. The MO's will remain if you uptier.

For max sockets, find a tier 6, then make honorific.

thanks tyhats what i thought so basiclly find or uptier to tier 6 and than make honourific

so if i buy an hatered act 1 ilvl 1 req 0 my best bet is uptiering it to tier 6 before honorific so i can put in 120 lvls of orbs?? was told by hh that hatered act 1 items are 1 ilvl 0 lvl req so if i uptier it to t6 so i can get max sockets hopefully ill still have max space for orbsor is it a trade off of leave it tier 1 req lvl 0 so tons of orb space but not as many sockets and not as good stats or tier 6 max sockets and higher base stats but not as much space for orbs??
