I am playing assassin and currently 50 level. Got one point into Perfect being and It says It does 52% evade and next level albo 52% evade. Should i invest more points? Will It go above 52%?

It based purely on hard points in skill and also will go down as you level up (ending up at around 60% avoid with full investment on high char levels).

Hi everyone. So I found my first Cotw this season, Frozen Soul.
I'm wondering if it's any useful. Is it strong or is it weak? Thanks for help!

It is pretty useless. Super weak Cold spell that is only used as proc in progression for Bow chars on

for some Crowd Control

Also, for the life of me I can't seem to cube Ghosts of Old Bremmtown Trophy with an upgraded Dragon Claw. I'm keeping the trophy on me and I kill the Dark Star Dragon in way under 30 seconds and immediately upgrade in the cube and then immediately try to cube with the trophy and nothing. What gives?


D2stats sometimes will have a bug when reading merc stats. Best fix I've found is to join a new game and immediately alt-tab and hit the merc box on d2stats and then hit "read". Should hopefully fix the issue.

For the Bremmtown trophy, my experience is that you first need to complete the 90 second challenge, which should just be transmuting the claw in the cube after killing the dragon in under a minute and a half. After that, you'll need to kill him in 30 seconds either on your own or with other chars of the same class you're running and you should be able to attach the trophy to the claw.

Edit: sorry I just saw that you wrote "upgraded" dragon claw. Assuming you already did the 90 second challenge. If you're soloing it then I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working. I do know that if any other players are in Bremm with you when you're trying to complete it then you can't trophy it if they're a different class.



Any ideas on this one yet? I’m having the exact same issue

Which issue? The suggestion that Crosby4HyG gave about getting the merc stats in d2stats seems to have worked for me. The one about cubing the trophy with the dragon claw is still not working for me.

However after reading this thread it sounds like I must not be actually doing both in under 30 seconds as I assumed I was. Maybe I'll set a timer and see

Dragon claw upgrade- I did time myself and was under 30 seconds for the kill... so I need to cube under 30 seconds as well?

Sounds like all 3 need to be under 30 seconds. Kill, upgrade, cube with trophy. The good news is that it sounds like you can use an already upgraded dragon claw that you already have so perhaps it would make sense to enter Bremmtown with the already upgraded dragon claw and the trophy already in your cube and just rush to kill the dragon in under 30 seconds and then transmute the cube quickly. I'm going to give it a go.
