no . it's quite viable , regardless if you go for elemental + hunting banshee or RoF+Freezing Gale , plague avatar or any other combo . it deals good damage , has good defense and regen + meatshield (acid fiends are mandatory). . how can caster druids be bad ? how can any druid be bad ?

the only builds /classes that are suffering in Sigma are the assassins , but even so , a few of them are still decent and viable .

I'm no leet, but I think that if you have two sources of that buff then the last one to fire will overwrite the other. So if your merc triggers bloodlust, then your summon triggers it, then the buff from your summon will overwrite the one from the merc.

Now, as for my own question, I recently defeated Baal for the first time in Sigma and discovered that the level lockout still exists even on Normal mode. :x Which leads me to wonder, does the level lockout countdown stop when the boss dies, or is it still possible to end up screwed out of the ending if you mess around in town before stepping into Tyrael's portal?

There is literally a wolf druid guide. I have a 108 druid im gearing up on another toon but yeah druids are good. Trap rats are op.

Pretty sure the countdown continues even after killing the boss, so if you defeat Baal in ~2 minutes and goof around for 19 minutes, you wont be able to enter the portal. I defeated Bartuc before the lockout and exited to Torajan Jungles, yet still got the lockout notification after the time was up.

How irritating. Thank you.

Searching for FS (Flamestrike) formula or for sorc with maxed FS.
I've checked by myself up to skill level 29 and tried to reverse, but seems too complicated.
Target is to calculate FS lvl 50 damage.

If you're fire sorc with maxed FS, give me please please please these current values:
- charlevel
- energy (full current with all mods, not base only)
- FS damage
- FS total damage per blast
- mana cost
- % of increased damage by energy (this value can be checked while hovering skill in tree).

Many thanks in advance!

Get any rarity T4 (drop/gamble and uptiered) or Sacred tier (only drop) Stinger Crossbow, use Oil of renewal until you get on it as close to 35% ED and maybe 100% AR too, thou not as important, what is important is that it has 6 sockets or 0 sockets (can be cubed with 6 jewels to create sockets). Now use Oil of luck first and hope that it work, if not and you have the gold repeat until it does, then start socketing 5 jewels (preferably crafted, doesn't have to be the best just anything better than random ones) and then in last socket put the rune. After you can start cubeing it with mystic orbs until 200 ED%, +max dmg, %AR or whatever you may need, just pay attention to the required lvl as you MO.
