Btw does /players x work in SP still?

Nope. Difficulty and drops are fixed in SP - not to be changed.

Okay thanks for the info.

By the way, anybody got a guide on skilling a 1.7 hunter druid?

[ABeLina]

I had unholy pally + rising dawn few ladders ago. Was very fast farmer and easy to play.
Later saw some guides, all recommending unholy + rising dawn.
Now playing holy + rising dawn, also not so bad.

So:
- superbeast gives ~80%SD late game, tainted blood gives spell focus - on unholy
- incarnation gives ~160%SD late game (guess innate elemental does not work on rising dawn) - holy

More SD, less SF, overall damage similar - why guides keep recommending unholy? It's because solar flare buff?
EDIT: oh, +1 faster frame on cast, but better defence on holy... Hm.

Does innate elemental damage boosts from rainbow stones and skills boost elemental damage on weapons or just the ones with the special elemental text? The TU babr axe for example does tri-elemental damage but doesn't have the XX-XX elemental damage line. Does it work like that or what?

Only the special elemental text one.

If ice elementals are applying a cold spell damage buff to a Merc, do you think that he would max out at 100 spell damage boost also? Or would he be able to get more than that?

SF is alot more useful if you have lots of pmsd. But to compensate Incarnation 150% spd bonus you will need ((160-80)/12)*100=~700 pmsd from gear only (and other buffs that are not bound to one of trees). Also UH tree giving you shitton of free stats. If you have just around 300-400 pmsd - then in term of spd holy would be better.

I do not understand math - incarnation boosts TOTAL damage?
Else 150% SD from incarnation = 150% PMSD (if care only about rising sun) from other sources.
Anyway, at lvl 122 i tested both, so far holy has higher lcs damage. One frame less cast speed - yes, but with that rising sun manacost this is 1-second cast spell anyway.
I probably don't know something... ?

Holy has dragon blessing, also lots of stats, maybe slightly less late game, but still a lot...

I think you are underestimating the dmg increase from that extra frame. Going from 6 frames per cast to 5 is effectively almost a 20% TOTAL dmg increase (that is, after all bonuses are applied)
