So I have a geared mael assassin, and a fire sorc, but its obvious I cant do most bosses 125_. Anyone recommend any builds I should look into that can def do higher stuff? Mael and fie is great for clear speed but bosses are so tough.

It is not the build's fault if you cant do 125 bosses. And no, maelstrom doesnt have great clear speed, it is just okay, same goes for bossing, its not tough, its okay. That is the point of maelstrom sin, that it can do both and its not terrible at either.

What was the downside of placing

on the offhand as barb? I think there was a nerf to this right?

It doesnt work in offhand, like most (if not all) other orange text.

can someone explain to me the details of an uninterruptable attack?

by using the search function of the forum , you will see this question answered twice already during the past 2 weeks

what would you suggest i search for? i dont find anything.

and your kind of answer is always the best one, because it helps nobody, and i already posted in the short question thread with very specific questions i obviously looked for in other places.

%UA reduces the time when your character gets locked by hit recovery or block animation . if you got to the cap of HFR (and FBR if you wear a shield and got any significant chance to block) , UA is not usualy needed for a spell caster .

chuck explained in his seer guide comments, but i dont think it's accurate. it doesn't reduce the time of hit lock (think chuck meant correctly but phrased wrong, maybe from dialect). thats what frame breakpoints are for. i could be wrong, but i think its actually the chance that, while attacking, if you take damage that would normally put you in hit recovery state (at least 1/12 max hp), it will ignore hit recovery and keep attacking

Overlord summon - what kind of aura does it give ? Looks similar to the wolf pack from druid passive ?

Not worth it.

How do you make sockets with jewels? I tried using them on grey, blue and yello items, but it didn't work.

That only works if the item has no sockets. If item item already has sockets, you cant modify sockets in any way.

Where can you find items without sockets to make runewords? I can't find ones in normal shops.

you can just buy any item and use oils of renewal until it rolls as a grey item

What's the best place to farm ilvl 130 sacred uniques? I'm thinking fauzt or viz-jun. What about Bremmtown?

Fauzt maybe best, if lucky you get some nice jewellery on you.

HI, I recently re-installed Median XL, I used to be able to use my gaming mouse buttons to show the map and dropped items but not anymore. Any ideas on how to fix it?
