Thanks for the info, now that i checked i have %624 lsd with superbeast -%170 elr.

For the town portal tactic i have to ask:
Lets say i have succesfully tped town before he started healing, if i go back from portal when does he starts healing again? I have to ask because he may not have dropped lightning resistance as soon as i come back if i cannot damage at this point do i need to tp all the time until he drops resistance? Because 1 element drop from heroic shield depends on RNG and can take quiet a while.

Once the healing has stopped (after you went to town and came back) it will not resume until the next time you damage him. I.e. until the next time lightning res is dropped. Just take a look at the memories video again, I'm not sure how you missed that as this is exactly what I am doing.

Thanks for the great guide ! I've been following it from the beginning with no in-game help and I have completed the first 32 uber's so now it will be time for the hard ones (it was hard from the beginning so I am delaying the moment were I'll start them :D)

I love the guide you have written, it is easy to read, easy to follow, and easy to understand :) You did an incredible work on the content and the form, really !

I've read in the guide that we should be farming duncraig for a while, why is that ? I didn't get many SU there so far, is it bad luck or is there better place to farm easily ? I have most of the mid game gear (except amulet, gloves, prebuff weapon, boots).

Also, which bow is the best tantrum + knives or tantrum + arrow ? I think I understand arrow is a better proc right (I think it is written this way arrow > knives, just want to make sure I read it properly)

Thanks again for your great work, it must have taken you hours (or weeks :p) to write it

Thanks for the kind words, always good to hear when your work is appreciated.

Duncraig is the best place to farm for sacred unique weapons & armour as well as sets. If you are playing on realm the drop rates are lower than normal, but still with 300%+ mf you should be getting good results. As for the amulet you should head over to destruction Fauztinville. Because you already have the high defence pieces, farming that place will be super easy for you and it is the best for sacred unique jewellery.

For the bow: yes you understood correctly. Tantrum + arrows is the best combo available, although it is prohibitively rare. From my own stats last ladder: I used 338 shrines, I saw tantrum 56 times, tantrum + any proc spawned 13 times. In all those 3380 rolls, chance to cast arrow only appeared 3 times.

Thanks for the fast tips, it will help me a lot as for what to do to keep progressing my way up. I'll keep farming Duncraig for a while and will mix with Fauztinville for the amulet (let's hope for some luck :))

For the bow, thanks for confirming my thought, I'll keep rolling till I get one with arrow and will play with my knives for now (it already does some amazing damage)

Desmodai, one short question, do you play SP or online? :) (I still haven't rolled a good bow with tantrum+proc yet btw.. it's getting pathetic)

I play online, and was lucky enough to have 2 times the roll tantrum + knives (around 300 shrines I'd say so 3000 rolls to get there :))

God I hate crafting, but this guide made me try it. Sadly I only got Knives/Tantrum, 80 life and 100+ poison res.

But guide itself is so well written that it can be applied to other builds as well, so thanks suchbalance.
