Short Questions Thread

Hmm... well. There's 6 possible types of damage as for weapon attacks as for spells.
"Spell damage" modifier boosts all types of damage (fire/lightning/cold/poison/phys/magic).
"Elemental damage" counting only fire/lightning/cold/poison but not phys/magic.
So "phys/magic" counts physical and magic damage sources like paladin Vessels, Balefire, Magic missiles, Singularity (don't miss with Weapon Damage Modifier skills- they won't benefit from it).
But it won't work on feedback skills with damage based on some of your stats (mana, life, etk.) like Psionic storm, Arcane torrent, Immersion.

Soul of Wrath isn't taking any damage when i'm inside sacred shield ??

Not really a question, but a quick followup: can personally confirm that you can farm with

Satan's Dark Delight

, though the majority of the loot dropped is tier 3-6 rares and probably isn't worth it (because it's too much loot to deal with for the occasional SU or Set), and that

The Idiot Ball

is kinda useless for farming summons/reanimates because the summoned hostile monsters have no loot. So much for that idea

Not sure about the shield but the ring is indeed useless even for a charmer druid (dat -%DR) and yes, mobs that are 'called' drop nothing.

hello there.

How do I improve my Bow-Druid survivability? I just completed act5 Hatred at some lvl54 or so, but I am so squishy. I have upgraded some of my gear with crystals and stuff. with TU Viper Bow(4) I can easily clear the screen in few seconds with cascade but at the same time I can be close to dead aswell. honorific gloves and the level challenge 50 charm thinghy provides me with 75% resistances aswell...

more defense? more life? life leech? more reanimates?
I DO NOT want to invest points into acid fiends and its synergy...
any tips?

Post your gear and stats and say where you have trouble to progress (what areas are difficulty for you), than we could help you because now the only information i have is that u have a t4 weapon, TA charm and 75% all res.

you should aim for all t6 gear

try jitans or something with % DR and make sure all your gear is orbed as well

To progress through terror and then destruction with a tantrum paladin I needed around 200k defense, especially for tran athulua. I also had about 15% DR from lucky bonus and jitans

If you can't progress, farm mephisto for shards and then use crystals to upgrade all your gear

most of the stats are in Strenght, about 120 base dexterity- just for the attack rating.
I am having difficulties deciding about gear. TU Splint/chain or gothic armour? gloves are honourific. boots are TU light plaited, TU Heavy belt, lvl1 TU Spirit Mask. rings and amulet are shite IMHO...

there wasnt any specific place I struggled to get through. I just felt like a glass-canon...

yeh, Mephisto is a pal of mine by now.... should probably visit him more as soon as I figure out the right gear. I am wearing Jitan's Kamon(4)

orb gear with what?

Can I farm the brains in one character and cube it with other to do the Blackroad Challenge?
