There are two entrances for Yshari Sanctum now.

Yshari Sanctum -- Valthek fight area, center of Caldeum
Spectre of Hatred -- World 1, Mephisto's Area of Yshari Sanctum, which is where you travel the mazes of each world and gather the set pieces, found to the left of Yshari sanctum entrance

@Knight_Saber and Hecht, Page 2 on D2Stats has a poison damage to weapon/second tab, calculated properly if you want to check your real poison DPS with weapon damage.

Thanks guys.
One more question, and I should explain why I'm on this line of questioning.

I'm on a nostalgia buzz, and have been trying to recreate builds I played back in Median08, this one is the snake stance/thunder slam barb.

The weapon slot is so open to choice, as all the damage is from poison.
I was trying Calypso RW (ix in a hammer), as I thought glacial novas all over the place with long poison would be epic.
But things don't freeze (or rarely).
Is there something I can do (without taking over 9000 MO/gear slots) to make it useful, or do I just switch to a different weapon?

If so, what to use?
Urada has always looked like fun to me, and I've never tried it. Necrobot reanimates must be absurd.

Part about summons that i dont understand

17k+dmg and even not smaxed...
But stances adds lets say 250- 300% dmg and spirit bloodlust some like 350% to dmg.
So 17000 x 5= 85 000 ? and dmg rolled to 5 000. Or i calculating wrong?

what the stances are adding is a %ed boost to the base damage . in your screenshot the summon is already having a heavy damage boost to the base damage , so the extra damage increase will not so big when adding a stance . it's all about boosting the base damage .

remove all your "extra minion damage" gear and don't activate shamanic trance so you may see what the base damage is

Thanks Chuck !

Try max lion stance.

Wheres the best place to farm rare sacreds? I can barely do duncraig, TA or Fauzt. Most of my luck has come from farming the end of act 5, but surely theres a better place to farm? No access to d cows either btw. Thanks in advance!

k3ba should yield a decent haul of sacred rares.
