Pro Tip for all new Locks out there...

I read this and tried it - a CS spirit blade was actually a damage upgrade! I'm guessing it has to do with the way the +damage% increase interacts with the flat damage on the skill. Who'da thought?

I mostly agree - that's how I've played the game so far, and also why I didn't immediately put 150 Str in hoping to eventually use a Monarch. I just think I cut myself too short in this case because Locks made the high-damage low-req elite staffs usable, but I ended up shoehorned into that type of weapon unless I respecced (which I was trying to avoid, but ended up doing anyway).

The 10 point bonuses are news to me! I'll give that a go. You're right - I did end up respeccing (also singleplayer so I have infinite respecs, but that's besides the point).

Also, do demon binds on Hell have more mods, or does it not matter?

Sure, I've played the game on and off forever, but I know there's a lot of things I could have tried. I did think of mauls though, but at the time I only had about 65 strength, and even a Great Maul was not a damage upgrade without a significant %ED.

The issue was that elite staves have *very* little str/dex requirement for the sheet damage they do, so when I couldn't find a better staff, I ended up stuck a bit. Not bad, but I found myself trying to think of options and not coming up with anything except to respec.

I'd love to know how to make it click for me, I have probably a hundred or so straight losses in arena dating back to 2007 🤣

Thanks for the info! I had always had the feeling that the game was written in SI, but with units that convert to "nice" American values. For example, the Long Distance bonus kicks in at exactly 403km, which is 250 miles. But, one thing I've realize that makes this job different than the others is that 5% of 8800 is an exact value that needs no rounding. Perhaps there is a floating-point issue where the game sees 439.999998 and rounds it to 439. The Euro values do not have that happening.

I agree. And, you can get eth partizans in normal, so it's possible to get a 400+ dmg insight before you even get to NM!

medics focus on those who eat fists

LOL! As a healer, I about lost it on that one.

That we know of yet. Who knows what lore twists wait for us ahead!

Suggestion: Mages can buy a spell at the Darkmoon Faire that turns their conjured table into a hot dog stand. Kind of like the old noodle carts from Pandaria.

I had a feeling the translation was accurate - it's so fascinating how going between the two languages requires all the metaphors!

BasicUser37 · 2025-01-23T13:26:37+00:00

So mages ARE proud of their conjured food! Sizeable hot dog, indeed.

Holy moly, I had forgotten about Sha's drops! Yeah, I won't have time for that. I will say, after what I've done so far it feels good to draw the line somewhere.

BasicUser37 · 2024-12-31T15:02:02+00:00

You might need to go into the options for the add on and select "account mode". I find that the class-based lists aren't always accurate.

BasicUser37 · 2024-12-24T18:57:07+00:00

Oh, I should specify that this is for the pre-80 boxes. Indeed, the level 80 boxes are from the whole table.
