2) i did notice that with my characters at 2019 also, i couldn't kill with mixed skills barb at that time & was able to easily with thornwarden as damage was above 28k. now they have changed druid to bear & no longer a thorned hulk
Right now my character at 118 as earthquake barb. waiting akarat, legacy of blood, azmodan, inarius, tal rasha, invasion II, truine & jitan (done with primus, rodeo, black road) waiting 2 levels to get my favourite dungeon judgement day

If you know Akarat is a dmg check, what can you do? Maybe more dmg... I've been playing since 2008 and Akarat haven't changed besides location. Just use Shower of Rocks.

Not the fastest but with certain items not bad. Still I would use other necro-builds.

Edit: Oh you asked about the guide. I don't know about that.

can you use the soulforge on angelic items? it's unclear to me if that counts as "crafted"

hey, there's a problem with Angelic crafting.

it turns out you can, i guess crafted is reserved for shrine crafting. (even though technically you are crafting the angelic with soulforge)

i do have another question. the soulforge gives you that warning that you should use MOs after, what happens if you try to soulforge if you've already used MOs will it just not work? just trying to make sure i won't brick my boots.

thanks!

Is there a point where there's too much defense? My earthshaker barb is almost 1.5 million defense but now I'm wondering if I should hold back on "bonus to defense" MO and instead use the space for stats.

The engine doesn't keep track of mod groups on items. So if you apply one "% Enhanced Damage" MO on an item, the recipe assumes you have that mod group already and won't let you craft "% Enhanced Damage" mod. Same with shrine blessings and bonuses from sockets I assume.

You shouldn't have used bonus to defense MOs in the first place. Defense is useful, but not when it detracts from other stats.
