Also, after about 5 Fauzt runs, I found 2 Taha Runes. It seems to me that these runes have a greater drop bias than the other runes. The Toraja rune drops are really suspicious from this point of view. Does anybody know why I've found only Krys Runes and not a single one of the others? I think I should've found some of the others as well. I'm playing single player. Also, does anybody have an idea what are the chances for each of these runes to drop (both Toraja and Fauzt). Thanks in advance!

Tahas are the easiest ones to find in Fauzt,

Kryses are the easiest ones to find in Toraja

Other greatrunes are more rare.

All right, thank you. Do you know anything about the drop chances of Teganze Runestones/Essences? For me, it seems that they all have about an equal chance to drop. I have to do several runs in order to find a Runestone which can be frustrating since I need as many runestones as essences in order to combine them. Then, to make a Xis rune, I need one extra runestone. I think that the drop chances for Runestones should be slightly higher than the chance for Essences.

Is Soul of Gluttony a pure DPS check?

Looking for the best build to farm Toraja, can some one answer?
1) What build is better for Toraja? Is it summoner?
2) Does Barb stances buff Edyrem?
3) Witch skills can buff Edyrem?
4) Does minion stats affect Edyrem?

What does demon blood aura from Khaz Ancient armor do? How much spell damage? Wasn't the aura name from skeletal minions changed to something else?

Bump. Anyone know?

Ewd. It gives ewd too in addition to spell dmg.

1) It's actually a ranged caster with high cast speed. Summoners fall behind somewhat, because you'll want to summon as many edyrems at time as you can, spam them on Toraja's mobs and blast them apart once edyrems do their work. Summoners have less control over application of damage, or need to put themselves at risk.
2) No.
3) Only certain charms and one specific item set.
4) No. That's why specializing into summoner just for Toraja is pointless.

Summon builds farm toraja easily. The summon barb stance sharing skill also applies to edyrems.

Zon with red vex set (farming set) actually does very well. Maxing fire elementals and dropping a handful of points into defensive harmony slows the archers down very well and makes them easier for edyrems to kill and then blood storm does the work as it’s a fire and forget skill. Easy clearing.

Thx a lot! But Seikun in his message above says that barb stances don't work on edyrem, and that nothing works except for items designed specifically to buff edyrems

I played melee barb in 1.6, and my Wolf Stance buffed the Edyrem.

I checked the patch notes and there is nothing stating that Edyrem buff behavior has changed since then.
