godbless

• Skull drop rate in the Worldstone Map has been drastically reduced from the normal mobs, and slightly reduced on the Boss.

So does it mean there is no point to farm normal mobs, but only uniq/champion packs?

It means the opposite of that. The chance is lowered, not removed.

Forked Lightning wasn't really the problem, it's Psionic Storm which is still one shotting people unless your moving 24/7 (which only summoners can do and still DPS). If you get a chance could you look at this please?

Psionic Storm is supposed to 1 shot under most circumstances. If it wasn't I would be buffing it. It's the last actual level in the Crucible, surely you don't want everything to be a walk in the park? :)

Isn't an unavoidable 1 shot a bit much? I mean, I agree everythings not meant to be a walk in the park. But there has to be a area between "walk in the park" and "I need to be a summoner"? As a melee character, I can't go near him without him just 1 shotting me. What exactly am I meant to do?

Uhh... it shows a marker on the ground (tal rasha symbol) a good 2-3 seconds where the storm is about to hit before it hits? Don't stand on it. How is it unavoidable exactly?

FUCK YEAH !
thanks :)

Hi Game, I have had continual problems with 6.1, both patches. I am not able to cube orbs or essences . Not a big deal but none of the monsters have their names anymore with the last patch. Not sure about the block issue mentioned in patch notes, but my Shield Barb does'nt do much against level 106 monsters that heal themselves. Dont know if it is just a weak char or I am suffering from the hit/block issue. Any ideas for a fix on my end?

As mentioned in the patch notes, you right-click all orbs and essences to use them now, not cube :) (Except for Orb of Alchemy). Monsters not having their names is weird, I believe someone else had that issue because they used D2SE to install other D2 Mods, I would just try a full reinstall. Shield Barb should be fine, if you're weak against high level monsters you likely just lack damage or physical pierce. Many monsters such as the ones with purple names heal themselves every several seconds so you have to have more damage than they have heal, this is to prevent "cheese" mechanics early on.
