Dark Portal: new skill which allows you to open a quest portal upon killing certain bosses
* obtained from the Summoner on Destruction difficulty

Dark Summoning: disabled as no more quests require this mechanism

Hey guys my summons as a barbarian are not following me causing me to resummon them constantly. Why do they not folow me anymore like they use to.

Spirit minions will not follow you like minions on other classes, they just seek for enemy and fighting it. To keep them near you use Blink oskill from Pax Mystica runeword or Spirit Walk skill which teleport you and spirits on target enemy.

So I understand what it does but is there any real usefulness for Demiurge?
The active buff is really nice but only being a few seconds, I don't see the point except maybe equipping heavy gear after dying
Is the reanimate chance only during the few seconds that Demiurge is active?

I did some experimental builds at S14, I was trying to recreate lazydin using mark of que hegan (when it still was granting you 2nd passive damage)
I maxed demiurge just to get more HP,but you can clearly see amazons were not hitting me at all. So between 37k and 55k Hp there was not much difference. This char is still non ladder so maybe one day I would do more tests (like comparing killing speed with exact build from current ladder, etc).

The biggest problem with demiurge is that you never have any spare points and there is always more important skill to max.

Hmm what about Adrenaline Rush?
I'm curious if Demiurge is one of those skills that isn't affected by increased buff duration (Like Sacred Armor) because if you can buff up the duration, you can make it constant. just refresh it every 14 seconds.
At that point you'll also get a pretty significant power spike from the pure energy increase, not to mention % based attribute bonuses.

Do you know if IBD affects Demiurge or not?

No, buff/debuff/cold dur does not increase demiurge's duration.

I just installed median XL ultimative through D2SE, but for some reason D2SE launches vanilla D2 LOD wven though I have Median XL selected. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I went back to terror to do brc challenge but I get no portal sign over my character's head when I kill Talic. I can still activate dark portal after he's dead, but nothing happens? Thus, I can't complete brc or do that uber at all. Anyone elso have this problem?
