I know that luring a rare out of Amanunu's void before killing it causes it to drop more valuable omens, are there any similar mechanics for the Kurgal and Ulaman?

I've got a wand with +5 lightning skills, 30 % extra cold and lightning, crit chance for spells and I desecrated a prefix. My options are low tier mana/spell damage hybrid bleh, or 62% spell/minion damage, or 77% elemental damage. I'm thinking I should take the 77% elemental damage, or am I crazy?

What's the incentive for making new characters if I can just try any build on any character? Just to test out new ascendancies?

I wanna do a lightning spear build, feels like that makes the most sense on a Huntress but it works on Blood Mage. Trying to decide if it's worth it to make a new character now

Hi folks,I've just hit 70 and tentatively doing a few maps, I seem squishy all of a sudden, any Witch builds that are destructive and good at map clears. Currently running my own build but I need something better. Any ideas,builds,knowledge greatly received. Tyia.

I can’t figure out for the life of me of how to craft a “+5 all spells skills” wand. I have the 4 base but after I get it rare, it doesn’t have the ability to divine it up. Do you get it by sanctifying?

How is it that archmage makes my mana go down SO FAST?

Like there is nothing I can do to compensate the drain.

Is it worth being used?
