A few quick questions:
1. You mentioned that Shrine crafting can not be worth it, but I'm SSF, and I have tons of shrines. What kind of stats are good to look for when shrine crafting a Crystal Sword?
2. Any thoughts on some of the new Runewords? A lot of Elemental barbarians are usingDawnCrystal Swords.Dawn

There are some very strong on-melee and on-striking procs that can spawn on Sacred Rare Crystal Swords. If you got those with a decent Attack Speed roll, extra flat cold damage, cold pen, dexterity, etc. then you could have a very solid weapon on your hands. I don't think you could ever hit 3 Frame attack, but you could hit 4 frame with some very nice procs and mods, potentially.
Dawn would not be good for Cold Wolf, since you would not be able to get enough Attack Speed on it to hit a 4 Frame Breakpoint. It also has no improvement to elemental damage whatsoever, so I don't see how it could be remotely useful. Even if it was good (it isn't), counting on a Zol in SSF seems like an impossible thing to hope for.

I've seen them spawn with +15% Dex a few times, but couldn't seem to get +skills and Dex% at the same time.
Don't think the Affix page is updated, kept seeing affixes spawn that weren't listed.
Now just gotta get motivated for the IAS+Dex% jewel grind

yeah nothing impressive since everything pre 125 is like knife in butter
things change later on and I still cant run scosglen safely even with a dementia dropped from fauzt
You can run Scosglenn safely if you do not stand in the burning ground from the Spriggans. There's really nothing else there that should scare you besides that.
How much peirce need for Scolagen bro. Etherborns and Sapling Guards is tanky as hell and scary as well,1 is fine but 2+ is causing too much problems, need to take down them really quick. Yeah sacrifice mf is hurt but faster kill time is a priorIty. I notice the different kill time drop significantly from dozen of extra peirce but dk what is the ideal number. Feel like 120 is not enough.
Do mind sharing your mf setup? with my current setup, there is not much mf . I accidently clicked report to reply. sorry about it lol

Dawn gives a crazy 75% to All Attributes, which increases your Dex, which increases your innate cold damage. If you are usingSvalinn, that extra Dex means more elemental penetration.Svalinn

About getting a Zol in SSF: not sure if I got lucky or if I just farmed Scosglen too much with my neutlradin, but I got one. Which is why I brought it up.
