I don't know but he might have avoid by default.

Also there was (still is?) this weird bug that sometimes gives a summoned monster like dragons and shardspawn a huge amount of avoid like 99% and it becomes very hard to kill them. Might happen with diablo as well.

Every act boss have 25/50/75% avoid and same ammount of each resist (including magic and physical)

They lvl up in dunc or cows with exp pots.

Gotcha! But there is a level limit between the characters? For example, can a lvl 120 character rush a lvl 20?

there is no such limit

What difficulty of dunc or cows would you do this in? Also, why would you? If you play SP, so I don't have to talk about dcowing past 120, you should be close to level 120 by the end of destruction, and simply playing through the game ( which you still need to do to access ubers ) you'd reach level 120, right?

you can get 120 at mid terror in SP quick enough , with no cows involved . you just need to get to Fauztinville and get the brains for BRC and get the class charm from K3kba . clear those spots and you will get level 120 before act 4 terror , also , you will find shrines and runes up to level 100 to boost your gear .

What is the best place to look for a gray ethereal long sword (or any eth socketable) for a runeword?
I was thinking Dcows and I noticed you can get -25% mf with ssu cliffhanger
Any thoughts?

Do my character get the bonuses from on-switch itens, if they're not active? For example, if I have a spear on item tab 1 (currently my active tab) and a sword+shield on item tab 2, do I get the bonuses from the sword+shield?

Also, is it possible to rush a lv 1 char on cows?

Negative MF is useless because Fool's Gold already gives more MF as a minimum than

Cliffhanger

does negatively.

Fauztinville seems to be a good spot. DCows is fairly reliable.

If you use your on-switch items to buff yourself, then yes, the buffs will stay. Active damage buffs will disappear (such as if you use a crafted Necromancer Shield to get the Vessel of Judgment oskill, the animation surrounding your character will remain, but the skill itself will not work. Things like Bloodlust or Tainted Blood, etc. will work just fine.

For the lvl 1 char in cows, no. You don't begin to receive any experience in hatred cows until about lvl 25, and even then, it's not so great until about lvl 32. Terror cows is about lvl 40 minimum, and Destruction can be 40 as well, but notices a kick around 60-80, if I remember correctly.

When crafting with Shrines, is there a chance to get +cold, fire, lightning or poison damage on gear? If not, is that something that might be changing in Sigma?
