Isn't everything calculated off of the damage on the weapon making this more significant?


Can anyone help?

Always always always put enhanced damage above enhanced weapon damage. No matter what the situation is, you will be getting more damage with enhanced damage.

Anyone know what is meant by "50% less Storm Crow Knives Lost When Hit" on
Meshif's Iron Parrot
Meshif's Iron Parrot

Item Level: 105
Dexterity Damage Bonus: (0.11 per Dexterity)%
+8 Storm Crows Projectiles After Being Struck

My first thought is that it allows half the storm crow knives to continue through an enemy, hitting another or homing back and hitting twice. Is this correct?

When you haven't been hit by an enemy for a little bit, Storm Crow throws extra knives. However when you get hit you lose those extra knives and only throw the base amount. This just basically halves the knives you lose when you get hit.

Wouldn't a harbinger build benefit a whole lot from orbing attack speed on Maleficence, since harbinger only benefits from attack speed on weapon? (also Maleficence already has 200% ED on it so enhanced damage orbs wouldn't do anything)

Yes, make sure that you have enough to hit the lowest frames per attack breakpoint. If you are using wolf morph, then factor in the attack speed from there as well. Good luck!

does the following happen to anyone else? it's getting quite frustrating:

- im looking for a few specific items for my 2h-barb (follow aerial's guide): SU labrys or Gotterdammerung, wolf druid chest (marchosias), akarat boots
- farming dunc atm, at a very decent speed (7 min full clear) with 327% mf. I am on SP, so trading is out of the option.
- i found all pieces of marchosias set, at least 5 times. Still no chest armor. I get dropped the full plate mail 1 or 2 times the base, mostly magic, sometimes rare, but never set...
- strangely, all the other armors around the full plate mail, like the ancient armor or gothic plate, i have found in abundance in set and unique version...
- same goes for labrys; found over 20 magic sacred ones, never a unique...
- lastly, same goes again for light plate boots: akarats; i found the su and ssu version of greaves and heavy boots, but never the light plate;

i want ot write it of to bad luck, but damn, this is getting on my nerves :(

Anyone got an idea of whether or not it’s posible to upgrade the Samael items in any way? It seems like they’d be too good if MO’s or sockets could be applied but I just thought I’d ask. Also wondering about luck bonuses.

It's only happened to me when I've stood still attacking him for too long. I assumed it was a desynced comet but if someone else is getting fully oneshot by it then it's probably not.

I'm playing solo so desynced spells are unlikely and his comet takes less than half my hp even at point blank so it's definitely not that, few times it happened I could see him cast but there was no visual or anything and it killed me instantly
