Im closing the game without exiting and saving, which allows me to redo it over and over again. Is there some sort of mechanic that keeps me from succesfully roll the bonus, or is RNG just against me?


The moment item drops is set if its going to get or fail luck/lottery. No point doing it more than once each per item.

Yep everyone's having a problem with it. Seems to lie only in Melee strikes as I did testing and Elemental/Ranged mobs weren't one shotting me. They were barely doing any damage too, tanked 5 or 6 Arrowside procs from Tran Athulua and only lost a tenth of my Life (18k)

Which rings/amulets are SSSUs? I can find Tyrael’s might in Fauztin or no? It says lvl130 but not sure if area needs to be higher than 130?

How exactly does minion resists work? Do they have any passive resists or do I need to supply "all" of it?

Base of 0%, so you must provide any/all of it.

Unless things have changed in Sigma, summons gain +15% innate Elemental res per Skill Level, up to a max of 75%. You can increase it further with the "Summoned Minion Resists" mod--again, up to a max of 75% (so, 150% total). They suffer the same res penalties in Nightmare (-50%) and Hell (-100%) that you do.

Iirc, mercs have +100% innate res. But their character sheet is bugged, so it always shows 75%.

Tyrael's can be found in Fauzt/Viz-Jun or any other 130 zone like all other SSSU. Jewelry are not included as SSSU and are as such just SU and can be dropped in any A104 or greater areas which has potential to drop SU, though some are clearly rarer then others.

Fauntz->Bremmtown is a good SSSU route since BT is inside Fauntz and both are A130 areas.

Sounds generous, none of these are stated in tool-tips or calculated in D2Stats. Would be nice to see a total calculation of these somewhere.

So it's impossible to get minions with 75% res in Hell? I guess immortal minions is boring, makes sense. Thanks.
