Nothing a melee character can do against that.


What I found is that life steal or life after kill negates it. You need one of those two stats as a melee anyway if you plan on surviving late game, so you might as well focus on getting them now.

When you have teh typing window open, there's a bunch of icons just above where you're typing. Click the sword and you can search for items, then click on the item you want to link :)

Didn't get an answer to this one yet. :-8


There's no theoretical cap to movement speed (it's just called movement speed now instead of FR/W)

I've played in hacked b.net back in LOD where people had a million FR/W and ran at light speed, and if the code is unchanged in median (which I don't see why it wouldn't be) then you could, in theory, stack movement speed in perpetuity. I could be wrong however.

How to feed a potion to my merc?

On d2 it was shift + 1 (or 2, 3 4) [whatever was the hotkey for the potion]

Now it doesn't seem to exist or be configurable on the Preferences?

I just drag the potion to his portrait. Or let him die.

shift (left) + hotkey for potions still works in sigma

Farnham's Lost Marble
Mystic Orb

Right-Click to Apply
1% Movement Speed
+30 Life on Melee Attack
+30 Mana on Melee Attack
+10 Required Level


There's different phrasing on the tooltip of that orb. :think:

I Have a doubt about honorific items.

What i did was using oil of renewal in a white item till it got a superior item with the stats i wanted, then with oil of luck added also the one i wanted.
Afterwards i wanted to make the item honorific, but it needs to be made magical 1st so i used oil of enhancement, therefore losing what i did in the 1st place.

Is there a way to do what i tried to accomplish? (Superior Honorific with the stats i wanted)

Thx in advance

Vodkacho, just change the order of the things you did there. :)

Don't apply the oil of luck until the item is Honorific. If you don't get the lucky bonus, you just need to start over with the oil of renewal. Basically it's competely irrelevant what stats you get from the first 2 rolls with renewal and enhancement oils.

I don't think you can have "superior honorific" items. That's probably because you are able to add a shrine blessing to the honorific item you created: 2 x Arcane Crystal + Shrine + Honorific item.
