Hello, I am new to Median XL and am trying out your build to get my feet wet.

I've been following your milestone progressions and make my "Shark" Reflex Bow from T1 to T2 after the end of Act 2.

Unfortunately the dexterity requirement from T1 to T2 was massive. Despite putting all my attribute points in dexterity since lvl 1 (now lvl 32), I am almost 100 points short of the 290 dex requirement for this weapon.

Am I missing something in your milestone progression? The flow seems pretty clear that I did what I was supposed to do, but the dex requirement seems way out of line with what's possible at such an early level.

Hope to hear back soon and thank you for the detailed guide.

You're not supposed to upgrade your shark to t2 or t3.

  • shark in t1 reflex
  • farm andariel to upgrade your shark runeword into a t1 reflex unique
  • at lvl 30, upgrade t1 unique bow into t2
  • at lvl 48, upgrade t2 unique bow into t3
  • when you have 570dex (lvl 80-85), upgrade t3 into t4

Read each milestone steps in the guide carefully.

Ok, I did some lab testing and it only adds to all her other good points. Ecstafrenzy bowzon has a great time in Labs too. Wyrmshoot lacks damage with less mob density but tantrum/phalanx combo works really well. Tantrum kills all melee, and phalanx is guerilla type, working from behind the walls. In tiers 1-10 ama is literally immortal, has burst damage and that with no respec needed.
Red tiers require a dedicated setup, maxed fire ele/spellbind instead of bow skills (barrage, wyrm, most trinity). Since it would be best to get 200-300 bow + Tantrum (don't have it myself still though, feels great as it is) so maybe Magical craft will synergize greatly.
She clears tier 13 and should go even further. Some bosses on 13 already require effort dmg wise but overall it is fine.
Main problem would be not dying at the enter and t11 is actually harder than 12-13 in that. Killing bosses in t11 is easier though as phalanx works better in the open. Also when you're face to face to them they won't bug and cast invisible spells. Anomaly especially likes doing that with flamestrike, just a oneshot out of nowhere.
Rifting with this build is crazy adrenaline gameplay, maybe not the best labber but still very effective. Im also not sure which merc to change into, still sending my abjurer to death lol
