After die in legacy of blood i cant enter, but i kill Bartuc, How many coldown to enter in dange after die ?

A lot of the uberquests have lockdown mechanics where, a short time after you enter, the entrance becomes locked and cannot be accessed again during the same session. It's kinda bullshit imo, but that's the way the devs want it. If you lose, all you can do is return to the main menu and restart the game, then work your way back to the quest and try to do better this time.

My guess is the lockdowns are to off-set the fact there is no gold or experience penalty on death like in D2 LOD. With no penalty when you die it'd just be like that Tom Cruise movie Edge of Tomorrow. You'd just keep poppin back to life to try over and over and over until you finally beat the uber. What's the fun/strategy in that.

What is the fun of dying over and over on something ? Accidental deaths happen, but if you die 5-10 times, either your gear, skillplan or strategy is wrong for said uber.

I take this like a Dark Soul game. Die and retry, find the way around it and enjoy your victory.

Is there any visible indication about my pierce breaking enemy res ? Yeah, pierce works and it really hepls to kill faster, but i'd like to see a sort of "visual confirmation" - whether my pierce threshold (120 vs common enemies, 170 vs bosses and 200 vs some yberbadasses) breaks enemy "inner resistance" or not. Now w just have to put a trust on utility program (dstats).

its just a stat that works. nothing "breaks"

I dont even know what to answer other than its 135 / 170 / 199 for pierce tresholds.

I feel like I'm playing this wrong. I played D2 for a bit a while ago and I tended to try to clear everything and reveal the map. I'm level 20 now and haven't reached Andariel yet, if I keep playing like this I probably won't be able to do Athulua without paying in crystals. Should I just try to get through as fast as possible?

lvl 22 ish is about correct for defeating andariel. just keep an eye on the area level displayed at the top right of your map info. You want to generally stay +/- 5 levels of that.
