i dont really like the demhe because of the lack of view, i need a suggestion

Hi, is the mana regen formula different from regular Diablo 2? Just incredibly basic testing tells me it's approximately 5 times faster, am I wrong? If anyone knows the formula I'd be very grateful if you could post it here or point me in the right direction, thanks!

...and balefire is not impossible to get it on rare item, you just need to check them when they drop ( Notifier d2stats )

you could role a blue magic :mrgreen:

or craft one with shrines
both can take a bit, but the rerole on magic isnt rly fast and results are only 1 or 2 affixes, but in other case you could get a magic one with decent stats, because you play unholy melee, you use fire dmg and the weapon dmg on unholy melee items is in most cases low, just because of this

BUT roling a magic item for one affix can take quiet a while

Regarding magic find stat....

What does it affect?
Drop rate of rare runes?
Essences in tengaze?
3% drop rate trophies?

none of the 3 things you asked for . it may help you find more sets items / tu's and su's . it affects the item quality , not the type or quantity .

i sold my sunstone of the twin seas and make new but i alredy use scroll of resistance for my old one, can i make new scroll somehow or just make new character?

Anyone know what would increase oSkill Charged Strike damage? Would it be %lightning spell damage or %physical/magical spell damage or neither?

Just a short question: lockdown on dungeons means after 2 min i have lost my chances to obtain whatever they drop right?
If that is true, i see my frustration going up roughly ...

@zeitzi No, just means you have to make a new game / save and exit in SP and try doing it again. Afaik the lockdown means if you die after 2mins the level is locked for that game session and you have to follow the steps above.

Bowzon's Dragonlore, does it require sources of elemental (and magic, magic for the sake of this question) damage from gear specifically or will it work with magic damage from skill (barrage) or other buffs (E-frenzy)?
