Just got 4/5 Malthael set and was inspired to make a paladin to use it. Which play style would go best with it? Was thinking holy caster with hydras + frost breath to take advantage of the +% fire and ice dmg on the items but I saw the hydra skill was nerfed in sigma so idk. Thoughts?

No, it's not relevant, scorpion blade was changed and now does spell poison damage. The question was whether the clouds stack.

Even with 100 resistance, summoned Sinner from the runeword Rathma's blessing seem to die so easily from spell compare to all my other summon. Why is that the case? Do they start with less resistance compare to other summon?

No sure what you are talking about, the only change to scorpion blade in Sigma is this --> SCORPION BLADE: damage reduced by 30%, now gains an extra projectile every 4 base levels of MkIV, up from 3.

It is outdated for the Sigma changes not for the changes before Sigma.
I gave you information about scorpion blade when it was changed to become an active poison skill so yes it is still revelant.

Edit : Maybe I'm wrong I don't know but at the same time I played a tiefling scorpion blade + limpet assassin before Sigma so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

If you read it, you'd see that active poison damage is not affected by % spell damage for missiles, when clearly the current scorpion blade is. Try equipping any poison damage item, it won't add to the duration or damage much. Scorpion blade used to be active damage, before it was changed to the clouds that it is now.

Yes, it applies on every strike, making it quite good with anything that hits a lot.

a few other short questions^^ what is K3K and is there an infinite stash for median?


K3K is the Rift - Kurast 3000 BA. You need to be level 115 to enter. There is no infinite stash for sigma.

The unique will be the tier of the item you use, 1 through 4.
