1) Is Pentacle set item a good substitution for Erawan runeword on a melee sorceress? I found the set item, but I can't find the Nih rune necessary for Eralam, though I'm already at act 5 hell, and did all 105 and 110 ubers...

2) Is it possible to somehow affect the belladonna elixir drop chance? I never had it drop, ever, am at act 5 and need to respec, and there's just no way to do it.

Some versions of the game weren't fully compatible. Did you make sure to start the game via the game.exe and in admin mode?

iceinmyveins wrote:how much is good or decent minion damage?

Depends. Summon Barb can have a lot more minion damage due to his buff. For a summon pala I'd say about 1000%. For summon barb - seriously, I can't say anything about it.

m0uth wrote:Does Stun not work with Stampede? Only Melee?

You mean the modifier "Stun attack"? That only affects direct attacks where you actually swing the weapon. And then it only affects the guy you're clicking on.

ixvid_ wrote:maybe a dumb question but how to disabled windows key? I am playing full screen and misclicking alt/windows key is driving me mad >:(

Can't you just change the alt button to space or something? As for windows key... Have you tried googling? I'm pretty sure that you can do it, but I sadly have no idea what OS you're using.

No. MF won't affect it. But Belladonna's are part of the so-called "world drop". And Cow level has an increased chance for world drops (or Junk drops as it's called in the docs) Aside from that, no, there's no way. Have you already used up all 3 respecs from Akara on every difficulty?

Not anymore, here is the quote from the patch notes:

WORLD DROPS

World drops are no longer significantly biased to zones which drop the most junk per hour: cows
Belladonna Extract can now drop starting at act 1 normal
Viz-jun is no longer excluded from world drops
World drop chances improve slightly with area level

Hello everyone, Im playing light sorc, just build the Elemental Chldren set. What should I use to theempty sockets ? Thanks a lot for your advices.

I see. Seems like the docs weren't updated yet. Thank you.

Im curious if all stats have a maximum boost allowed per item? For example, I believe enhanced defense caps out at 200%. Is there a cap for everything? I'm most curious about spell damage like +fire spell damage% I don't want to waste precious level cap space on my gear with mystic orbs if I am at a cap.

One more question -- just tried Assault on Arreat uber, I was forced to flee via town portal, and now when I click on the portal back or go to the arreat summit to re-enter through the original portal, my character says "I can't", and just refuses to enter.

This is single player "offline" mode. What have I done wrong, I never had problems like this before.

If you fled any time after two minutes then you'll have to remake the game as Assault on Mount Arreat has a lockdown timer of 2 minutes

Sorry if this has been asked before. Ive searched everywhere, including the cube recipes page, and cannot find the answer. Is there still a way to drop a rare or magic item down to superior? It would make the act of making runewords so much easier! Thanks in advance.
