Re: Are amulets of harm worth it?

My opinion is that the game is somewhat balanced around the current max damage of monsters and that adding a +20% incoming damage modifier makes things a lot more dangerous, to the point that +30% more damage dealt does not make up for it. Personally I think that the difference between bad/balance/o...

Re: CIP - OpSu of Ash

You could find excruciating wounds for the demon trident. I don't think I would uncurse the weapon slot. If you training polearms to 14 you would probably lose more damage to the enchantment/base type/skill level difference than you would get from the pain brand vs elec immune pain vulnerable enemies.
