Hes not in level 3 of sewers where the chest is.. and the chest doesn't drop the skill book is it right?
So where is Radament?

Radament should be in last lvl of sewers

Sorry he's isn't there... cleared whole level 3 times.

Sounds weird, maybe post it in sigma bugs thread

Have you checked https://docs.median-xl.com/ on the main page? They explain most of the mod there.

I think you're reading the wiki page wrong, I don't see anything suggesting you should take the tooltip as a DPS reading. The ingame tooltip is correct though. It means 5K poison damage over the duration. So that would be 5000 / 4.3 = 1163 DPS. The character sheet shows you the total damage you will do with one hit if you sit there and wait for the poison to wear out. So it's pretty useless as a DPS metric once poison gets involved.

If you install the latest D2stats version, on page 2 you can see your poison DPS pretty clearly along with physical and elemental damage per hit.

The character screen seems to get weird when you add other sources of differing lengths. Also it factors +Poison spell damage which only applies on melee hits, not missiles. Here are some test results I did with Plague on basic attack, no weapon:

Plague: 7.3k - 13k
Plague + TU4 Wormtongue: 16K - 28K (seems to be using 9.3 sec duration here which you get from totaling the separate sources)
Plague + TU4 Vilehand: 13K - 20K (seems to be using Plague's 4.3 duration instead of the 2.65 average)
Plague + TU4 Wormtongue + TU4 Vilehand = 13K - 20K (interestingly this seems more accurate than the above cases, since the belt really shouldn't add too much total damage)

Long story short: ignore the Lying Character Screen

How to deal with attack rating problems when starting the game? I'm trying bow druid and I have ~65% hit chance on most melee monsters making the game annoying as hell.

A number of runewords will give AR if you need it, you can filter the runeword page for "attack rating". Also Amethyst and Eld runes in your weapon can help.

1. What Synergy Mean? Stat add dmg to your skill right? Like assasin cluster bomb i should max energy for it?
2. Is this possible to not pressing alt all the time and just enable always showing items ?
3. And i can reset skills stat/skill infinity time for free, right?

What is the point of the "Mark of the Wild" druid innate skill other than getting fed up by needing to recast it every x seconds, as the tooltip doesn't say anything about the length of the spell and you want to have it on all the time? Why not make it just a passive?

Are skill signets removed or what, cant find a single one.
