Judging by the character level, I assume you're in Normal difficulty right ? I'm not a Necro expert, as I just finished Normal with him. Most of the stats should go to Vitality, it will make your skeletons much more durable. For more difficult bosses you need Golem, it can tank much more than skelet...

Yes, the acid damage of the worms is insane, unbalanced in my opinion. Wait until you get to Torment... each blob of acid 100+ damage. Anyway, for this boss you have to take advantage of the AI by luring it to a corner and then pounding it when it tries to escape. This boss and their minions will tr...

Nightmare is still a little bit early to find Apocalypse books. You should start finding them more easily in Hell difficulty.

You don't need Apocalypse to beat Nightmare difficulty with the Sorcerer.

When I MF with my rogue I prefer killing speed so I just switch the armor for a Skullder's Ire and maybe a ring with some MF.

I don't have much MF (around 150%) but it's enough to find some things.

Finding recipes is a bit like finding runes in Diablo 2. Your best bet might be the Cathedral levels in Torment because there are a lot of monsters and I believe they can drop most, if not all, high level recipes.

In LT you can get items up to:


qlvl 42 in Hell
qlvl 58 in Torment

This is coming from my experience

Hi This mod is challenging but it's mostly in later difficulties. It really depends on the class. I advise playing with the mod, it's a much better playing experience: 1 - You can move faster in town 2 - User interface is much better 3 - You can now use relevant skills 4 - Uniques are challenging an...

I think I may have been misinterpreted. Let me elaborate a bit. For Normal difficulty, you are absolutely right. Items are total crap, even uniques. But you don't need good stuff to beat Normal. For example, melee classes can beat every monster in Normal with Azurerath and decent Armor Class. The re...

I agree with sergio, it's much easier to progress when you already found something decent. Started with a mage, got to Hell and decided to farm the LT chests a bit to have some loot for my Warrior and Rogue. Bow of the Dead is easy to find and the Rogue was able to go through Torment with it. Zakaru...

If you managed to get a Sorceror to Hell difficulty, you can farm the 3 Lost Treasure chests for nice loot. If I recall correctly, you can farm items up to level 42 in Hell and level 58 in Torment.

I understand your frustration, I had it when I started playing this mod. But you have to press through. Some bosses might seem overpowered but you can overcome them. For melee classes for example, gear is very important. In the early stages of the game, Armor Class is crucial to avoid being hit. Use...

I managed to get through hell with bow of the dead. In Torment you can farm the Lost Treasure for Hearthseeker. From my experience, items up to level 58 drop from Torment LT.

I was lucky to find a Hearthseeker with a very good roll.

Good luck

If it's like D2, breakpoints are used to determine the frames necessary to do the action.

Ignore Target Defense

Hello

I've seen some posts talking about this mechanic - ITD.

Why is it so useful on bows ? I have a Rogue in Hell with a bow without ITD and I have no problem hitting monsters. Is the mechanic different in this mod ? Does it do more damage also ?

Thank you!
