@Jon:To me, it looks like a jewel have the +3 minimum damage modifier on it. And since the maximum damage varies, this is basically a terrible roll.

When an item have + minimum and + maximum damage modifiers, they are merged into “Add x to y damage”

@Wulf: I’ll take my own advice here and hire an A5 merc to help me out. A better bow would help too. I can still Dunc until lvl 135, so I’m not in a hurry to farm Fauztinville.

Hi again,

Quick question. Regarding the early game milestones, you mention using AC's to "ber" jewelcraft for 2x jewels with ias". This confused me, because the jewel crafting cube recipes show ber as adding life/mana steal flavour, rather than IAS. What am I missing ?

Also, just curious - what's the longest it has taken you to have a rare or imbueable sacred reflex bow drop? This is my first chara (first time with MXL or even D2 in over a decade for that matter lol) ... I'm clvl 113 no luck yet. Im pretty confident I havent missed any, Im using D2stats and actually cut/paste your example for my notifier

Thanks again for an awesome guide, I've read and used many across different games across the years, and yours really stands out. I like how you explain things clearly and simply, no fluff. Soon as I work out how to give a cookie I will be doing that similarly to the previous couple of posts

Cheers!

Ber crafted jewels spawn with preset modifier life/mana leech, but the jewel itself can have IAS as it’s random mods every time it is rolled. Think of it as a rare with added life/mana leech. Same rule applies to every different rune you can use to craft. So basically, reroll Ber crafted jewels until one spawns with IAS on it.

You ain’t the only one having issues finding a Reflex Bow. Keep your TU, max it as guide says and level up normally. If by 120 you don’t have one, Duncraig will eventually drop one. It’s all about RNG. Got mine in nightmare Kurast Bazaar. Got extremely lucky here. There is no hurry to get it anyway, lots of shrines are needed to achieve a good roll. Guide expects 30ish before getting one 200ed and 300 max damage.

To give positive reviews on posts, you need to have positive cookies yourself. You’re still at zero. Let me fix that for you. You should be seeing green and red thumbs bottom right of posts.

Cheers

Alright! Thanks Johnny Impak - that gets the show on the road!

What I really wanted to do was actually spin some TG his way, sort of as a thank you. The guide has helped me heaps already, and im only really just getting started. But hey I am slowly starting to get the gist of how things work on the forum - and I see now that TG is currency, of which indeed I had not any ... a situation I had to remedy! And umm, well yeah i did

You can always sell signets of learning if you farmed Nilhatak to get 400 signets. Arcane Crystals sell well if you want to get started. Pretty sure you can find information about dealing with TG in the Sin War section of the forum. I’m always playing on Singleplayer, so I can’t help you much on this.

I always have huge lag spikes when playing TSW, no matter what GS. Now I know it is an ISP issue that I can’t fix for now.

Thanks. What do you mean with 1% luckied items? On docu i only see 20% luck and 3% luck recipies.

20% chance for luck to succeed -> gives you 20%ed and/or 1% physical resist. 1% luckied refers to a succeeded luck that gave you phys res.

Hey guys, i procced this Frozen soul on striking, ands its fires like machine gun, freezes enemies before you and do some good damage with pierce from passive, is it good ?

from what i recall, frozen soul dmg is very low. all elemental procs are bad (flamefront, deathstar, etc). your bow is still decent however, because its a 200-300

yeah, i figured out damage just by "look", it feels like damage is big, becouse when this procs like 15 times in second in tanky mob, its melts , also it freezes everybody near, so they cant reach you and attack, very usefull

Alright so I rolled a frozen soul bow. as I suspected, the proc deals less than 1mm hp of a regular dunc mob. its absolutely irrelevant dmg.

Hey, thanks for testing, i think theres some different aproach, its deals small damage, but when you shoot at pack of 15+ mobs with wyrmshot its procs like 50 times in one second, so the damage multipliers cause orbs flies in front mobs all at once.

Also i got proc on quiver too

and my clearing of dunc become 2 times faster by my feelings, its pierces all mobs when shoots, some times it deals 25k damage as description states, and i noticed it, cause some times all mobs just dies instantly in all room

where did you see it deals 25k dmg?
Are you refering to this? the 25k dmg refers to the 1% atomize part, not the spell itself.



I think you're getting your procs' dmg mixed up with your wyrmshot projectiles ><

Is this an endgame-worthy bow or should I keep rolling my second reflex bow with inti-shrines? I know it's a good bow cause it's a 200-300 roll and it's the first one I got so I use it (cubed with life leech and ewd) but is it worth upgrading? I couldn't get anything better with 40+ inti shrines.
