On my Witch Doctor i have a weapon with +1000-1250 Poison damage.

Does that affect my spells like Locust Swarm, which also do Poison damage?

I know that the "Poison skills deal 20% more damage" bonus obviously affect my poison skills.

But what about the (elemental) poison damage that is on a weapon?

If the bonus just states "+1000-1250 damage" without a specific elemental type, does it then affect my Locust Swarm's damage?

I tried reading the various wikias but they are really convoluted and sometimes even out of date...

So if anyone can please explain simply how it all works

I recently got a character to max level and i would like to progress towards end game (greater rifts i assume).

I will be playing solo (no multiplayer/boosting) so i gotta know what is the fastest way to start getting meaningful (set) gear.

Currently my char can clear bounties on Torment 2, but so far i have gotten no meaningful set pieces (for crazy bonuses).

I know there is a ring that decreases how many set pieces are needed for a set bonus, so i assume that is a priority to get?

Are there any other such important items to obtain early in the gearing process?

Any other advice or suggestions?

Thanks all for answering.

If anyone has anything more to add they are welcome :).

Shield Bash/Sweep is exactly the kind of combat-style i am looking for.

You know, the old fashioned melee beating - no charging across the screen or using a whirlwind to dance around.

SO was i right about Barbarians not having a single endgame viable "Melee" build?

Nothing that actually viably uses things like Hammer of the Ancients or Seismic Slam in endgame?

I recently started playing D3 again with some friends.

I wanna go for the hardest end game (greater rifts if i recall), but i have trouble picking my melee class.

I really hate being a "melee caster" like the Raekor/Charge Barbarians play, where you spam "spells" instead of bashing faces.

So which classes can stand toe-to-toe in melee with the nastiest enemies D3/RoSouls has to offer?

I am guessing it would be Monk and Crusader - but i am really not sure.

Perhaps barbarians have a viable end-game build that does not include spamming charge or whirlwind?

This is just a simple .d2i item file to be used in hero editors to create Tokens of Absolution (stat/skill respec).

The hero editor i found to work for single player and "open multiplayer" is "Hero editor 1.04" (diablo 1.13d).

I made this thread because i had to spend some time finding this file, so i wanted to make it easy to get for anyone interested in easy respecs without intrusive mods.

They all give you the same item file, usage is just like with any other .d2i item within a hero editor.

Obviously some folks do not like editing heroes, but this is just for single player and "open multiplayer" games where people can mod if they want

Almost a 100 views and not a single link to an updated 1.13 skill calculator???

I have searched many links/websites (even on non-english websites) that supposedly had skill calculators updated for 1.13 Diablo 2 changes - but none of them were actually updated (or working at all).

What i am looking for is the really simple skill calculator that looks similar to the in-game skill tab.

Blizzard has a similar one but they do not have any tooltips when mouse-overing skills, which is a huge hassle!

Can anyone please share a proper working skill calculator for 1.13?

I recently got my WD to lvl70 and i am doing my Torment 2 bounties/rifts.

Currently my gear is mostly some legendaries and some "yellow" gear pieces, and i do not feel like rushing for some specific Item Sets or legendary gems.

I just wanna have fun and enjoy my WD - but first i need to actually understand how to play the class in a Torment environment.

Most guides on diablo-fans are very oriented towards Item Sets and Legendary Gems - and i really don't have any of those, nor do i wanna rush for them.

I am having trouble setting up a proper single-target repertoire of spells.

Usually i use Locust Swarm for AOE, Haunt for Single Target and Spirit Barrage for some really durable enemies.

However it is still rather slow, so i am hoping you fellow WDs can offer some better approach to single-target DPS (without set bonuses and legendary gems).

Also if you got suggestions which spells are good for AoE that would be nice, but i am mostly fine with AoE dps.

I am having some issues with the Creeping Death passive (makes Haunt and Locust Swarm last almost forever).

It seems that if i move too far from afflicted enemies the passive will NOT work - the dots seem to expire, since the monsters are still alive when i return to that area some 8 seconds later.

I am 10000% sure my DoTs would have killed the targets if they did not expire, so i am confused as to what is happening - is the Creeping Death passive malfunctioning?

For passives do i go for damage output, or some defensive passives?

Or perhaps the mana regen passives are the most valuable?

Do passives like Pierce the Veil also increase the pet's damage?

WDs have a lot of pets, namely the zombie dogs, the gargantuan and the little crazy people-things.

Which one of these are actually useful, without using specific "Item Sets+Legendary Gems"?

Is their purpose to tank damage or to deal damage, or both?

WDs have a lot of DoTs and pets, but all of those do not seem to scale with Attack Speed - only from Weapon damage?

It seems to me that a big strong 2hander weapon is much more useful than a weak/fast 1h+offhand?

This is all not counting some specific beyond legendary 1h+offhand setups - i am comparing regular legendary 2h with 1h+offhand?

Which stats do WD pets actually benefit from, or which stats do pets not benefit from?

I really value my pets to be as tanky as possible while still doing good damage, but i got no idea what benefits them.

As i progress through the Torments, do i need to focus primarily on defense stats - or offense stats (glass cannon)?

Do you fellas use the Poison Darts/Firebomb/Toads/Corpse Spiders abilities?

Honestly i have not used these spells since level 20, so i have no clue are they useful in any way?

Also what about stuff like Hex, Horrify, Mass Confusion, Sacrifice and Big Bad Voodoo?

I never ever used those weird utility spells, and i do not know are they of any use in Torments?

How about Zombie Charger, Spirit Barrage, Acid Cloud, Firebats and Wall of Zombies?

Those spells i almost never used so i really am not sure are they of any use in the Torment difficulties?

Thank you for reading and helping me out

Is there a good high-torment barbarian build that allows you to actually beat the enemy into a bloody pulp LIKE A REAL FIGHTER CLASS?!

No hiding behind a shield, no kiting/hit&run, no whirl-wind dancing - just some honest face smashing like a proper warrior class is supposed to do?!

Ill say, check out my profile Barb, Its does over 1.3 mil damage in game and is monstering T6.. Its is very fun not only reliying on Reakor but also IK Reborndiablo#2561

that is because you are playing level 65, almost everybody is playing 70 level champions. This is why you don't find any player.
