Okey, I got through normal with ease but when I reached cruel my minions die very fast in the first zone, can't really clear anything in cruel atm. I'm 31 atm.

My current gear. I know its pretty bad and the links aren't ideal but where should I look first to change things up so I could actually kill things. (I got melee splash and spell totem in stash and can use them once I lvl up and can take str note.)

EK + Faster casting + Added fire damage + Life Leech/Faster Projectiles/Mana Leech
Hatred + Clarity + Reduced Mana

Do this, it will make your life easier. Replace hatred with Purity aura if you need resistance that will also help zombies as well.

At least get EK+faster casting+added fire. Then later you can get one of the others for 4th.
If enough mana regen Faster projectiles for dps, LL if you need increase survival.

I know I'm not Rath, but he has all that info posted. EK(etheral Knives) works really well
and you will be using it for awhile to help clear.

I actually appreciate correct answers from other players more than you know :).

An alternative route that I did, was I combined his leveling section in the OP with a splash of his power leveling guide which you can find in Rathik2's signature. I actually used a bow until level 50, which was when I felt comfortable with using EK with correct linkage. Why? I preferred the additional range of split arrows/rain of arrows, thus keeping me out of harms way whilst still being squishy. Meanwhile, I ensured that I was also leveling the proper gems for my minions as well as EK.

At lvel 50, I was comfy with EK + aforementioned links augmenting my minion damage.

Rathik2 did mention that minions at lower (and even middle) levels aren't going to kill much and will die rather quickly. Now, I did still cast them; both to serve as decoy, as well as to learn how to use those damned things hehe.

Hopefully, you are still life based, and haven't gone CI yet. I didn't really look at your gear, but at level 30 you should still be looking for armor/life, imo.

I don't know if the route I took at lower/mid levels would meet with Rathik2's approval; BUT, there is actually room in his guides for personal ingenuity/creativity depending on personal funds/gear/game experience. His guides do represent the most efficient way tho, hehehe.

400 thousand views mark.

Well I got myself EK+faster casting+added fire and that does like 0 damage. Is it because they are all lvl 1 gems still or is there something else wrong? :P

//hmm, I used linked faster casting+spelltotem+summon skeletons and doing much better actually.

Thanks for the help anyway. :)

All party members share the same quantity modifier. Players add their item quantity modifiers together and any modifiers from maps, and each player after the first adds a bonus +50% to the party. Increased item rarity modifiers are only counted from the player who lands the killing blow.

hello, i just read this on the wiki and now i am confused,
so i do understand that the IIR that applied is the one to land the killing blow,

BUT for the IIQ:
1-

"

Players add their item quantity modifiers together

this mean if every player has 50% quantity (exemple 3 players) we will have 150% IIQ together?

2-

"

and each player after the first adds a bonus +50% to the party.

so if we are 3 in the team, there is 2 more then the first player so we get an other 100% IIQ? (50*2)

3-
and the total IIQ will be 150+100?=250 IIQ? or did i understand wrong?

Each players adds 50% IIQ on the monsters, not on you. Total 250%. If the culler has 50% then it will be 300%.

Just to be clear,

if i go do dominus with 5 people waiting at the entrance and i kill it myself with 350IIR / 0IIQ
dominus will drop items likes if it was 350IIR / 250IIQ?

Rathik2 what is better 8 ress or skill point from normal bandits?

It's because they are level 1.

Why should i get Spell damage on weapon, how does spell damage help me?

Because the affix is "spell damage + mana," and you want mana.
