With maxed Curare, it adds 8-9K poison damage over 2-second, so a little over 4k per second. Maxed Hyena Strike adds 1.5-3K poison damage over 0.8 seconds. Combined, that's roughly 6K poison damage per second... in theory. In addition, I get an Angel of Death amulet and Crown of the Black Rose circlet. Unfortunatly, none of this shit seems to stack in any meaningful way or help whatsoever! Hyena strike sucks fucking donkey dick! My clvl 1 skill GREAT HUNT is LITERALLY doing the same damage as Hyena Strike for 1/5th the mana costs. It took so fucking long to kill Diablo in Hell. I hope one of the devs sees this and does something about it! Just remove the fucking timer from Curare so the poison damage adds instead to Hyena Strike and this should fix everything.

That's because poison sucks in this game, and pretty much on every arpgs.

Yep! You are 100% correct. It just seems like HS and Curare are natural and symbiotic to push HS to the next level when this could NOT be further from the truth. I'd like to see hard points in HS lower Curare timer till 25-points = 0-sec, so the PD from curare adds directly into HS's 0.8-sec timer. This would solve literally everything and make it a useful combo.

Yo, MXL just updated to v2.10.7 and all my gfx settings got erased. I had to reset a few things and I cant remember how I got the sharp text graphics. How can I re-enable that? Thanks!

2.10.7 has built-in d2gl without those extra features, you have to reinstall d2gl (see https://wiki.median-xl.com/D2GL_Wrapper) and then enable HD text

I get this buff icon when I enter duncraig(not sure if any other places, but tried other uber locations or just normal and nothing there), any idea what it is?

its the buff for the trophy challenge. thats generally the symbol of challenge buffs in many areas since the trophy rework.

Thanks a lot, it has been bugging me for some time ^^

Are there any changes to eth items, cuz i last played long ago when we had durability and just curious if there are any limitations, like not all rarities having eth versions , or just some other trivia about them, I tried searching the changelogs from earlier versions but didnt see anything about eth items.
Also the new Mastercraft items, any list where to find them, only saw the bow.

Ethereal:
-durability removed
-25% base damage gain instead of 50%
-cannot be blessed

Mastercrafted items are a new type of base items (they are *not* **Sacred**-tier) with the following properties:
- Always spawn as rare with max sockets
- Cannot be used with Oil of Renewal, which blocks them to be used for runewords
- Have unique implicit modifiers that stay during shrinecrafting

Current Mastercrafted items with their drop location:
- Maiden Bow (Bow class): Amazon Defenders in Hell Tran Athulua
- Kukri (Dagger class): Storyline side areas in Hell
- Flying Khinzal (Throwing Knife class): Bremmtown (sub dungeon in Fauztinville)
- Soulbinder Gloves (Glove class): exceedingly rare drop from Kurast 3000 BA (K3K) - can shrine craft any oskill on them

Cincture and Gothic Staff bases were available for a limited time during the Pandemonium event in Season 36.
