Short Questions Thread

Hey all,

I need a build that "feels" really good to play all the way through that will keep my attention. Basically, I've done a summoner necro to 110 and found its gameplay in hell kind of boring since I can't really grow the army and it feels like it's kind of falling off?

I'm mostly looking for something that can just aoe clear everything, doesn't struggle on bosses (like having to resummon minions constantly just to beat NM bosses) and has a pretty clear path at endgame. Doesn't need to be able to kill the hardest bosses in the game, just let me see all the content up until that point.

I looked at the starter build tier list, but since every ability is different from D2, I have no idea how they play for the most part, when they come online, and how to build it out (every build guide says "1 point here, 20 here, 20 here" instead of "put 5 points here, then 1 point here, then max out this skill, then put 1 point in this skill".

Basically, I want a guide that can hold my hand and feel good clearing without failing at bosses, lol. I ran into the same thing with Grim Dawn and once I got that one build to endgame I was comfortable enough making several builds and taking them to endgame.

You don't need a guide to do that. You have free respecs until lvl 50, then with Belladonna Elixirs or unlimited with Offline Tools if you are SP.

I bet you used Grim Stash or Mystic on Grim Dawn too.

Every character has good clearing speed and bossing, no-one can tell you what you like.

Hello everyone !
I had a question about D2stats, are they anyway to add more possible colors for the notifier ? 3 of them are variations of yellow and 3 other are variations of green, I'd like to have brown, grey, pink, and maybe stuff like a very pronunced cyan so that I can put more different types of notifications.
Thanks.

Yes, by editing the source code and re-compiling it.
So no as far as "hacks" within the program itself are concerned.

Nope, actually hit 100 in HC, then 85, then 70 before moving on. Also hit 100 in PoE along with over 100 level 90s since early 2012.

The thing with Median XL is it's kinda like a custom game, nothing really "flows" so it's hard to pick something that works without having prior knowledge.

Check the guides page. There's a guide for pretty much every standard build available and all go atleast to 125 content, most much higher. And have pros/cons listed.

IMO, pick something that supports how you like the play the game.

It's the same with every ARPG. Devs have build a great thing here with MXL, choose any class or build and you can beat most of the content. If you get bored or stuck, respec and continue.

If I have an Eth weapon with 1 socket is it possible to add more to it?

Nope.

Does anything particular need to be done to spawn the Nemesis in the Mirror Temple? I've full cleared it on my assassin and no Nemesis spawned anywhere.

EDIT: yeah, that's two clears with no Nemesis present. Unsure if it's bugged.
