Nice choice for helm. As i said. I`m no expert. But right button was pretty much useless only for divine appartion, but if there is a stance then why not.

What's the use of "book" that branchean drops?

It's not used for anything. Pretty sure it's just dropped to hint that Brachyceran's crystal drops are used in the Laz charm upgrade (Book... Glorious Book of Median.. etc)

There is a secret use for it, not listed in the docs. You should know this you write guides Kappa

There is? Mind sharing that "secret"? XD

It's the old Uldyssian free-for-all stage. It's really laggy and hard to do unless you have a character to do it well with.

You'll have to provide more info about what character you're playing and what gear, etc.

What do people mean by 'rushing'? I understand that they skip almost all quests, but how they level up?

It shouldn't be nearly as much a problem with lag on single player compared to TSW.

But regardless, I believe Mahi chose to use 3sec lockout timered Fortress to apply Open Wounds, and Tantrum to help keep Edyrem away from hitting you, while you purify as you can. You'll have to stay far enough away that Uldyssian doesn't put up his shield (when he has a beam of light above his head = shield is up). He puts it up within melee range (I think about 1/3-1/2 screen distance, roughly), and will randomly drop it at certain intervals (usually 4-6 seconds I think?) You have to time your Purify shots to let them travel and hit him at the moment his shield is down (so account for the time it takes for purify to move across the screen). Then just use Tantrum in between purifies and use Fortress when you can (every 3-4 sec, depending on how you spec your skill points, ideally).

To help with some of the lag, reduce any extra visual effects you might have. For example, don't use

Hanabigami

Hanabigami
Arrow Quiver
Required Level: 60
Item Level: 80
5% Chance to cast level 36 Ice Lance on Kill

Adds 13-25 Cold Damage
-(1 to 10)% to Enemy Elemental Resistances

if you have a

Arrow Quiver
Required Level: 5
Item Level: 1
4% Chance to cast level 1 Arrow on Striking
Adds (2 to 3)-(8 to 10) Magic Damage
(4 to 6)% Life stolen per Hit

. Less flashy/animated procs = less lag.

If this still fails, you can try to figure out a method that uses

The eagle stance will provide you with the mana regen you need to be able to cast Disco Inferno at a decent rate, and with maxed vitality, will also give you some decent regen (though I think it's one shot deaths anyways. I forget.) If you do this setup, you'll have more options for your weapon, allowing you to make

Also a noteworthy thing is an amulet with Banish on striking proc or

Hooves of the Thunderhorse

. Banish is a small range aoe curse that reduces enemies' max health. It should reduce them about 15-25% depending on your +skills if using the boots oskill. It's marked by little blue curving/swirling lines above the enemy's head, and before you panic, when it applies, it will look like he heals.

*to explain that last part, here is a hypothetical situation to help:
Say he has 100 HP. Banish reduces 20% of enemy max HP.
You've got Uldyssian at 50 HP when Banish applies, so he then goes from 50/100 HP to 50/70 HP. It will appear that he heals, but if you, in theory, keep Banish on the entire fight, he will die in 20% less time/purify shots. Hopefully this makes sense.

Hi all. I am successfully farming D.Diablo with my Bowzon who has -100% resist to fire and cold and -80% to lightning vs enemies. Yet I can be shooting him with Sunstrike or Wyrmshot (with or without Estatic Frenzy) and he takes zero damage. Randomly his hp will drop in chunks, but I think it is from the over 50% Crushing Blow. I have a 93% chance to hit Diablo as well.

What is causing him to not take consistent damage? Thanks, I am super confused, and feel like I am missing something.
