. Build would be pretty simple to work around the weapon (pure str, disregard dex due to ITD, focus purely on strength and survivability, etc), but due to the weapon not being usable with parasite/carnage, I'd like to find a solid oskill for farming and a solid oskill for single target, latter leaning towards charged strike.

What's going to be best for the farming side of things?

Thundercrack skill. When i hover over skill it always shows the same ligthning damage. Doesnt matter if its scepter t1 or good dmg roll war scepter. Only +skills is changing that value. Since its 30% weapon dmg as lightning why its always the same value???

I tried to do Tantrumdin but cant use tantrum, any idea why?

grim presence . i see you got the buff active . it only allows the use of melee/summoning/buff . wait for it to go off or save and exit

Ty mate

Can anyone please explain how exactly manasteal works? I am new to the game and keep struggling with mana on every character. So we have %mana steal per hit and +x mana per attack. Does both work for any attack? Does it work with “Spells” and “Projectiles”? Im trying to build throw assassin, and i dont feel like any of this modifiers work with Maelstorm

Mana on attack works only with melee attacks. Mana (and life) steal works only with weapon damage based physical damage (so not for spells that do physical damage, like paladin vessels). Maelstrom converts most of its damage to magical, so the remaining physical damage is not enough to leech decent amounts of life/mana back. Leech also has a multiplier of something like 1/10 on nightmare and 1/40 on hell, just to complete the whole picture.

As for maelstrom sin, you need Void runeword in a throwing knife, which has mana on striking. On striking is an action that happens whenever you deal any kind of (weapon based) damage, and maelstrom hits many times, so it will keep your mana up. Weapon damage doesnt matter that much for maelstrom damage, so the low damage on it is not a problem.

Anyone know what's the weakness of necromorbs in Duncraig? Do they have any? If so I'd like to use my merc to take these guys out quickly. I can take out the souls easily myself but the necromorbs are like pesky bees and they sting pretty hard.

Any one got spirits of the nephalem set for summon barb

After huge amonts of farming I nearly gathered 3 other sets,.but got only the helmet from this one.

I found on the forum that Edyrem have biggest chance of droping them, but I can not find them, only imortal versions in tje dugeon with the two portals.

They have high physical resist. If you only do physical resist, just ignore them.
