Stupid question time - Sorry it took so long.

I'm working on my temple... and sometimes I add a room and it continues a chain (i.e. I can keep building in another direction), and other times it terminates a line and there is nothing I can do to keep building in that line.

How do you know WHICH rooms will let you keep building, and which rooms will kill your line?

Pc Game lag: My pc mounts a 4060ti and I have 16 gb of DDR5 ram but the game lag make it impossible to play it in fact. Has it happened to anyone? Do you have any solutions? Thank you

Any way to add quality to Apocalypse skill from shaman ascendancy? That increased frequency would be nice. I know about the support gem that adds quality, but is there a more obvious option? Same for enervating nova. Staff is at 30% quality.

Thanks!

Does increased rarity effect loot from chests or just enemies?

When using sacrifical lamb on my skeleton warriors and cast pain offering with the danse macabre skillgem, It always targets only 1 skeleton warrior. The other target always seems to be random. Is that intentional or a bug?

I started using “Woolies Wolfman” Druid build via Mobalytics. I’m just starting act 2 and I’m starting to get beat on a little harder than I did in act 1. What’s the best way to get my gear in check without spending all my currency? I can’t link a PoB cause I’m on console and don’t have a pc that I can do all that with anyways. All I can say is I try and get “upgrades” on gear but the vendors usually have stuff that doesn’t seem to be an upgrade and it’s hard to find the right “base” items via the trade system for me still. I’m like level 17 I think and my chest piece is level 6 so I figured it’s time for something new there.

I'm using the huntress right now, just a couple hours in. Is there an early skill I should get that procs the elemental twisters. Right now just using the parry frost skill but wondering if there's another or better one I should get. Got 2 level 3 skill gems and 1 level 2 and a support gem.

So far my skills are rake, lightning spear, fangs of frost, twister explosive speed, whirlwind slash. Should I just upgrade the skills I have or get new ones?
