I'm kind of new to this mod and only playing in SP, I'm playing a holy melee Paladin level 96 at terror and always playing at players8 for faster leveling and better loots, still got a lot of questions on how things work in this mod.
1. What is the maximum enhanced defense % on sacred items?
2. What max resistances (the one appears in details stats windows) should I aim for? was max is 'enough'?
3. I'm still dying a lot on uberlevels (at terror) should I worry this at this point of my char? or just start it at destruction? I already completed challenge 2 tho,

thanks!

1. 350%, up to 700% when Runeworded.
2. Usually aim for max resists, 200+ if you can. Resists can only go up to 95%.
3. You should get to 120 first and get stronger gear before trying uberquests.

thanks a lot, that would clear things out for me, I hope they have this facts / tips on documentations

Hmm, it is wierd that it doesnt though, but then the LFAQ is old as stated.

Also, id like to add something about resists. Some uberquests bosses/mobs have elemental pierce too, so some uberquest/heroic areas need you to have more than 300 or up to 400 like Quov Tsin.

hello. I'm level 41 in act 4.. not getting much exp. or any gear upgrades.. any advice?

Bumrush to act V. You should be able to clear IV just fine at 41

if you think you can take stronger mobs + good loot drops, use /players 8, you level fast + good drops but stronger mobs

Hiya, just started playing a few days ago and, well, I'm getting mauled lol. Doing that level 5 challenge with the traps took me 10 tries too many and now just barely in act 2, level 31ish.

I'm playing a wolf druid and I have no idea where I should be putting skill points. I put points as soon as they're available in every wolf-related skill because I have a surplus of points, but I don't really feel much stronger, and I feel like I die way too fast.

Should I be putting points in another tree? I find it hard because of the sword requirement and the lack of on demand mana.

Also, the moment I see the strongest available 2H sword I just stab a Tal rune for the strongest available RW I can get. Is this wrong/should I be using a sword/shield to combat the squishiness? It feels like 2H damage just keeps me alive because harbinger kills way faster, but I'm fairly uncomfortable with how easy I get downed.

Thanks in advance!

i'm a newbie on this mod too,, it would be better if you follow some guide that suits your gameplay >>Guide center

I tried searching and none of them seemed to be for wolf druid, and I'm not sure how relevant other class/spec guides would be considering how specialized everything is.

(I could also be completely blind and missed it completely but I don't think it's the case)

Hi All,

Does the merc items like +xx% on finding magic item / +find gold have any effects on drops? or is it only applicable if you wear those items yourself? or if I put some -resistances MO on merc items will that proc only on mobs they hit? does it stack with -resistance I have on my character's gear? thanks! :think:

Your merc's MF is based on your MF + theirs, so they have more MF if they are the ones to kill mobs (assuming they have MF in their gear).

On other stats, I do believe mercs' stats are independent from yours.

thanks! I mean, if your merc with 50% -res hit a mob then I hit that mob too (I have -50%) then that mob got 100% -res?
