Maelstrom doesn't seem to hit hard on close combat or narrow gaps. Wychwind took a while before it active. Mangler attack is shit as it single target. And poison knive does not pierce and/or hits once make it hard to utilize. And broadside, well... it locks ranged skill for quite a time.

Just started farming terror sewers to ~70 and it was painful especially vs Alpha Centaurs


Best bet is just to continuously throw Maelstrom down paths and large areas ahead of you to trigger offscreen enemies so you can see them. Alpha Centaurs are a bit different since they'll drop Colosseum and jump on you, but in that case, either a merc would help or just use blink for a momentary stun as soon as they get to you. or both.

Hi all!
Demigure: is this skill good?? It states that:
- Surround u in an unholy gloom --> is this kind of shield to protect me or just for show?
- Reanimates as: Seraph --> is this reanimate good?
And what weapon should I use with UHC paladin?

As a UHC, demiruge is the skill you would like to max if it is possible. It is not the shield that protects you. It greatly increases your stats by adding points to all attributes with every base level. That means that during the buff which can last aprox eight sec. when the skill is maxed, your life, damage and defense increases significantly. The Seraphs are good meatshield and cast punishers. For the second part of your question you need to be more specific about the build because different builds requires different weapons.

Lately, k3k and fauzt in terror. less items in the drop pool, so better chance of drop being a shrine, but also dest because higher density = more shrine chance. Whatever you prefer more

A few questions about Nagisin:

1. Does the bonus Magic damage from Barrier Strike apply to both the initial swing and the barrier blades?
2. Does the %Chance of Magic Critical Hit only apply to the bonus Magic damage?
3. If Laserblade's %Magic Damage depends on either DEX or NRG, is there an NRG-based nagi build?
4. How well does Hades Gate perform end-game? Right now, I don't see a scenario in which Barrier Strike and 2s Blink isn't superior.
