New To The Game--Again
I've actually played before, but it's been a long time.
I have the following several questions. Please answer as few or as many as you like:
1. Is the skill info at Arreat Summit accurate to the latest patch?
2. What outstanding bugs should a newbie know about. I'm especially interested in knowing about bugs that should have an effect on my character build decisions.
3. There are alot of character builds to be found around these forums in sticky strategy threads. But it is often unclear which are relevant to the latest patch and which are not. Is there a nice, organized place where character builds are laid out and where it is made clear that they are relevant to the latest patch? I am especially interested in Single Player builds.
4. Are there good Paladin single player builds? If so, do they use auras at all?
5. Where can I go to find out about monsters' immunities and vulnerabilities? Along related lines: If I build, say, a sorceress who concentrates on a single element, but a major monster or boss is immune to that element, what can I do to defeat it? Just rely on my henchman?
6. Is it feasible to build an Amazon who uses swords rather than either spears, javelins or arrows? Related: Does the "penetrate" skill work with all weapons or only with spears and javelins?
7. What is this I hear about there being runewords that allow characters to use skills from other classes? Where can I find out more info about this?
8. Is there an application which allows me to simulate the building of a character from scratch? I.e. a program which helps plan out a character build?
Thanks!
