How does poison damage works ?
If it says "30-50 poison damage over 2.4 sec", does that mean :
- 30-50 damage after 2.4 sec ?
- (30-50)*x every x second, during 2.4 sec ? (and then, what's x value ?)
- Other ?
- 0 damage on hit, or x damage on hit ?

It means over time. Poison mechanic is pretty complex on D2... I try to find the link that explains everything about it.

For assassin trap build
do i need to level up "way of the gryphon" to max level?

If you want some spell dmg and -res, your choise.

What is the recipe to use Oil of Intensity?

Does /players 2 still work for SP? can't seem to make it work. I thought they allowed it but set a cap to /players 2-4

Where do enchanted runes drop? And where to farm them that has a drop bias?

Player- command is gone. Runes are best to find in Fauzt.

Any tips for invasion 2? Its significantly harder than the other 115 dungeons. More like a 120 dungeon.

Does he just have 2 spells? the spinning lightning and the lightning circles/bolts from the sky after delay?

For the bonus quest: Defeat the Greater Riftwalker without taking damage from the Rift Storm.
What does 'Rift Storm' refer to? His spinning lightning or the bolts that land from the sky?

He has 3 attacks, 1st is the bolt from the sky, 2nd is the "Rift storm", to dodge this properly check in which direction he's facing, he'll always throw it this way, so you can predict the attack. The last one is the fire aura, check out on top of him, you should see a fire animation thing sometimes, it's his most dangerous attack but it's easy to dodge by either going far away or going inside the cold ring that appear at the same time.

Oh, thanks !
I didn't even think that it could work like in D2, and kept looking for the way it worked in MXL.

I found the following link, which should be the way poison currently works in D2, since there was no other change in more recent patches :

Is that it ?

I got pummeled by those swirly attacks - I only aimed to dodge all the lightning circles/bolts. I got the upgrade. Hope that helps

I see, maybe I was lied to then
Gotta try out that because that would make the last upgrade 10 time easier than I expected

Not the one I was looking for and I didn't read it through, but at first glance it does give a general idea about poison. It's still best to test in game than theorycrafting.

Are there truly only 2 runewords for necromancer wands or is the runeword webpage incomplete?

I MO'ed my sorceress wand till level 108 required and realized that I haven't put anything in the sockets yet. Will the level requirements get too high now if I put something in the sockets?

Did i blow it?

Depends on what the item's original base clvl req was before you MO'd it. For example, if it's base clvl req before MOs was 48, then you can add any socket filler with a clvl req of 48 or lower without increasing your Sorc Orb's overall clvl req.
