Short Questions Thread

Also can dimension key be upgraded in single player? Don't seem to be able to do that either at 100%.

Yes both can be done in SP

What's the difference between offline and online play? Besides being able to play together with people online ofc.

Is there a difference in droprates? HIgher/lower? Offline obviously has no lag which should help with quickcasting. Offline also offers the option to backup items and essentially keeping an unmodified copy in case your desired upgrade doesn't work out. But what are the downsides of playing offline?

Lately my connection isn't that stable and I notice that I get stuck sometimes with teleports not working all the time and some other small issues.

Also, my game always crashes when I kill the last boss before Uldy, so I probably won't be able to get Uldy charm in offline, but I guess that's ok.

Main difference is the lack of trading. I believe drop rates are very similar in SP/MP now (might be very slightly better in SP, but no big diff I think).
Also some features/bosses might not get released to SP when they are first introduced to MP, like the new boss for example.
Personally I prefer MP to trade and do some labs/farming with friends, but if u don´t do either of those things I guess SP is nice. Spec if ur internet is trash^

I think the uldy-crash happens randomly, not everytime u kill diablo? At least I've had it happen occasionally, but far from often.

It refers to the affix: "Enhanced Weapon damage"

but only from buffs and the affix itself counts towards it. The EWD stat from Weapons based on the scaling stat - as well %str and %dex from items like

do not count.
Basically the base damage of the spell is lowered but cold spell damage and EWD are now added as effective cold spell damage for that skill.
Rest of it scales like any other ordinary cold spell.

with Bowdruid is so funny & amazing

What exactly is so amazing about it?

Thanks, Mortimer.

Yes, Nheleo.
I've just tried Chillstring & Coldhunger & Cryo Beam -quiver today. Cryo Beam's freezing is the best support for Ice Lance, since Ice Lance projectile need to accelerate.

I specced to focus on cold spells procs.
- Get some fire pierce because it'd be added as cold pierce, thanks to Hunter tree.
- Get some % cold spell.
- Put a lot of attr points to energy.
- Invest to minion res to get the 750% EWD from the bear's passive.
- Use the ultimate skill that gives spell focus.

The result was somewhere okay ish, but it's not as strong as I expected.

@Mortimer_85 does the 750% added EWD count for Ice Lance? It seems not.
