    Keepers of the Trove bloodline affix. Every blue mob in this pack will drop the exact same rare. If you're VERY lucky the rare is semi decent and you can sell a bunch, most of the time it's just trash.

    Monk was "the job" too back then, at least until they revealed SAM, and they didn't show shit. In fact they also didn't really do much for monk in that expansion until they buffed Riddle of Wind in a much later patch, there wasn't anything to show even if they wanted to since the new skills are...

    While it's possible they'll talk a bit about it, I think next week is still going to be focused on new content, rather than updated content. As far as I remember the time where they really talked about the old classes in SB was during the ~may live letter, where they showed some of the new...

    You probably don't need both Orb of Storm and Storm Brand. But yeah it'll reapply on each hit. That said if you're running Herald of Ice remember it adds cold damage to everything you do, which means every lightning hit will also hit for cold, thus making it apply +25% to both resists and...

    They're very expensive early on, but this is pretty old gear now. Depends on your server though, on mine rakshasa weapons were still 700-800k a couple weeks ago when my sub ran out, although someone was transferring mad shit from Balmung and flooding the market with half price shit. It'll even...

    For the change about distant memories, just click whatever it is and then move away without clicking the stabilizer. Eventually get into the blue shit and you'll pop at the entrance, activate the stabilizer there and it'll bring the loot to you and you can just walk out this way.

    There's different scaling stuff at work so while the ilvl is small, the difference is huge. It helps not inflating the ilvl numbers too between expansions. But like defense values(mostly relevant for tanks), base hp, all secondary stat scaling formulas and the fact level differences in combat...

    Finalizing my gear, right now I'm wondering if I should bother getting enough over capped resists to do elemental weakness maps without relying on perma curse immunity/a resist flask, or if I should get my chaos resist up instead. I can get to like 15-20% over cap with ~15-20% positive chaos...

    The logic is that some people don't want to play on the hardest difficulty because it's too hard for shitty builds, and this way they can stay on it and reach 99 anyway. They could probably tweak normal to do that with another expansion though. Or make the added difficulty a toggle kind of...

    Honestly there's a lot of things they could have done to make it way less annoying than it is currently. I really hate it, first I have to constantly take breaks from mapping to go do the nexus shit, ok it's the league mechanic but it adds up with all the previous league mechanics(incursion...

    Bane aoe looked pretty bi when I watched streamers play with it, and it popped all the mobs instantly under it. Honestly looked really strong but I haven't played with it, maybe you have to use increased aoe for it to feel good? Maybe leveled a bit more if you're still leveling you might not...

    It's because they have stats, so they can't really stack. They should have let you upgrade the amount you can hold or some shit though, 10 is too few considering it isn't guaranteed shit like Temple was with Incursion. Best way to do it I've found is to just replace everything at 1 charge. Plan...

    I know the post is long but the key part is you need to look at the tier 2 limit, not the tier 3. Basically, the number is the amount the mod goes up to, not the amount it starts at. So you look at the tier 2 one, which is the max amount for tier 2, 95, and that means you need 100(since it's in...

    They don't fully scale, not sure how it works but I assume it's like how Niko will dig a fair bit on his own even if you never do the mine, but eventually stops and you have to progress yourself. Reddit figured out how to get specific synthesises. As usual it involves looking up hidden numbers...

    To be fair the atlas stuff is only relevant if you want to farm currency(as in, LOTS of currency) or if you want to get to 100. For normal play you can just kinda wing it, shape the maps you like and trade the ones you get that you don't like to buy the ones you like. It's just if you shape your...

    It's annoying in zones that are split in 2 though like Sea of Clouds in HW and Fringes/Peaks in SB, cause you don't unlock flying until the 2nd part which happens way later, makes gathering a pain in the dick in these zones until you lvl your combat classes. I hope they don't do that split zone...

    For the nexus map the thing I've seen someone post on reddit that looked good was figure out a decent space right next to your nexus in one direction, and build a lattice there, basically 3wide 4-5 long, then link all this shit together. You need the right pieces and islands spawning might fuck...

    I do blood aqueducts since it's much earlier and you don't run out. It's just pretty fucking bad sometimes, I went an hour without getting a drop to begin with, but then it started dropping alright. I stopped at 6 cards and bought the remaining 3 cause I already spent way too long in there.

    Just to point out, ShB should be 40$ everywhere(or less obv). The 60$ one is the digital collector that has a few more things in it, mount minion and whatever the 3rd thing was.

    You can build meter by doing damage, so as long as you avoid stuff or just block, you should be fine, it's just going to be slower since you don't build meter while defending.

    Curse on Hit or you use the new Bane skill to apply them all AND do good damage at the same time, which is probably the best bet. Alternatively you run them as Blasphemy in a low life setup.

    Well what makes them strong varies a bunch, but mostly, there's a lot of them and they use abilities that you can virtually make no cooldowns so they have good map clearing, they're very very tanky and targetable so they act as meat shields themselves, you get a large amount of buffs from their...

    Well there's a lot of summoner builds, that play fairly differently, from very passive "run around and wait for shit to die" to "casts a few spells to buff/debuff your pets" and finally stuff that is constantly casting, summons or others. The main summoner variations would be, and the list is...

    They ban bots constantly but that doesn't do a whole lot for the generic gold farming bots. Most bots I've seen seem to stop at 50 though, probably because they just buy starter editions then just farm 50 content(mostly early 50 dungeons), it's a lot more expensive to buy expansions. Some people...

    Toxic Rain seems pretty strong for starting out. Can check for basics, don't have to watch the whole thing but it's a fast enough Kitava and seems fairly simple. Can switch once you reach 75 or whatever you feel like. Probably doing summoner again, I think I'll try Soulwrest since I haven't...

    Well ED has some built in regen and Soul Rend can leech a bit off the direct hits, but I think the idea is that you use ES natural regen with Occultist passives which makes it so once your ES regen start it can't be stopped for a little while so any break in damage you can fast regen a ton...

    There was a meme on reddit that's scarily accurate though, on one hand, it's a Kerilian weapon so it should be pretty good, on the other hand, it's a shield weapon so it's probably going to be pretty bad. Shields are pretty fun but also kinda not very good versus just killing stuff.

    Unleash static timer is a bit disapointing, would be better if it scaled with cast speed or something.

    You don't lose AG that often in casual content, at least if you run other attackable minions(zombies, skeletons etc). You could unsummon the AG when doing stuff that might reliably kill it(various bosses mostly) but for the most part you can kinda ignore it. Kingmaker is probably going to be...

    Essence Drain can, but only on the initial hit, which isn't much of the total damage(it is however a bit better now that's it a small aoe). It also has its own life regen rolled into it, although I'm unsure if you can convert that to ES(Zealot's Oath maybe, not Ghost Reaver though since it isn't...
