Blocking and defense rating in Median XL work much the same as in classic Diablo II Lord of Destruction, but their role in the game has changed. In the regular game, max block (75% block) through investment into dexterity was common, while defense rating was hardly worth it. The two statistics are much more balanced in Median XL.

Median XL: Sigma

- Patch Σ 1.7.0 -

Game

General

Damage Shrink

With version 1.7 comes the fix for a long standing Sigma engine bug which would increase all weapon physical damage from skills by 50%. This means that the current patch is the best time to execute a damage shrink in order to keep all player damage sources in line.It involves reducing all player damage AND monster life by around half compared to version 1.6. Additional benefits of this change include: further reducing the occurrence of any annoying damage caps, more possibilities for us to improve server performance in projectiles vs damage trade-offs and, crucially, more aesthetically pleasing number values.

Q: What changes will I see to skills and items?
A: The following were reduced: Enhanced Weapon Damage modifiers, bonus elemental damage to weapons and skills, Energy damage bonuses, Minion Damage modifiers, damage numbers on skills not affected by the previous stats (for example: Purify, Psi Crown, Immersion).
Q: Do these changes mean my character got nerfed?
A: No, the killspeed of most builds will not be affected as monsters have had their HP values halved as well. Pure physical weapon damage builds (including damage conversion) will see a very small reduction in damage in the late endgame, to compensate for the fact that competing damage sources were never balanced around the bugged numbers. Life leech penalty was reduced accordingly.
Q: What will happen to my non-ladder and single player gear?
A: We do not have the means to update most existing item stats. As a result, most of your items will be stronger than intended.
Q: Was this damage shrink necessary?
A: Yes, otherwise weapon physical damage would be significantly worse off compared to other damage types.
Q: Why was this change made now?
A: Behind the scenes, in addition to our regular patch cycle, we are hard at work on the biggest content drop in Median XL history. We want to offload some of the bigger mechanical changes to smaller patches so there is more time for community testing and feedback.

Energy Factor & Energy Bonus Damage Changes

We have changed how Energy and Strength factors convert into a spell damage bonus. The problems with the old system were that: 1) these factors were completely useless until late game; 2) the formula was needlessly obscure and complicated; and 3) gaining small factor increments would have no visible change to your damage

To fix these issues we have made the following changes:

Energy and Strength Factor damage bonus is now no longer related to your total Energy and Strength attributes
Energy and Strength factor have been renamed to Spell Focus
The new Spell Focus damage bonus formula is: % Damage bonus = Spell Focus / 10 capping at 100%.
So every 10 points of Spell Focus will increase your total spell damage by 1%
Now Spell Focus will grant significant damage bonuses for early & mid game characters, while actually having a reachable cap in the endgame

We have also made changes to how the total spell damage bonus scales with Energy:

The issue with the old formula was that, ignoring Energy Factor, it would reach heavily diminishing returns very quickly
Now with Spell Focus no longer tied to an attribute we wanted to provide more damage scaling from Energy into the late game
For example, with the old formula at 1000 Energy you would already have gained 80% of the total damage bonus. Now to reach this point you will need 2000 Energy

This Guide is Based on a Basic Skill Trap Rat + gear..
trap Rats to me are Amazing Farmers and charm Colectors and are fun with different gear!
Same as all guides depends on items to where you can farm! but even the most basic Trap Rat druid can farm most places with ease!
i will add short videos as i go when i have time showing with basic gear and simple skills u can do alot of charms so easy, even if just making to collect for another char you have.
I will edit Post as i have time with Better pics and videos.
Stats :
Strength - ENOUGH FOR GEAR ONLY
Dexterity - ALL REMAINING
Vitality - NONE (we gain mass life from items/charms + Berrys on CC)
Energy -NONE
Even though its Really easy to gain max block on traprat with charms and basic gear and some gems, still always put in dex as it contributes to Def which is important , Remeber to Eat 500 sigs! to get the max stats for better performance on those harder places!
now for the skills : i am gonna just do skills as if we are already 120 ,

ELFIN WEAPONS - You need to total ur current CB with ur items on and with 1 skill here and see how much you need to 100% CB, 100% CB is important to try and max , it is easy done dont forget [color=red]TRAP RAT FORM add's CB highlight skill and see how much it add to cb! at end normally 1-2 skills is enough to max here, more then 100% CB is useless.[/color]
Elemental TREE
Elemental - 1 point
Hunting Banshee - 1 point
PAGAN RITES - 1 point (but is a very hand skill to max ur life when on low, i always hotkey this as it saves ur ass everywhere! no more then 1 skill in this is needed!
alot of people use [color=green]Summon Acid fiends in this guide i am not as i dont use, because these are rubbish unless few skills added in and they die easy but do add nice bonus's! ele dmg ect, but means using 5 skills to get it which later on with +max skill items means you need those extra spare skills to put into your tree as above[/color]

Once you have Enough craft points - and you have Berry and def berry Make the following Recipe - Perfect Saphire + TP scroll makes Elexir or Power(15 All skills)
then +12 dudu staff on switch, once hit pot use berry gives Big life/def buff, repeat each time you need to berry
[center]ITEMS[/center]
i will start with Low level Start gear Tier uniqes and so on
Weapon - TU Blade if you have plenty of crystals try rolling for Double Orb Effect once T6. once you got double orb once you can farm legacy of blood charm then do lucky upg with charm for ignore targets defence,
Low lvl req also, plenty of space to add orbs. get it to 350% ED upto you what you put as rest of orb, but i use MAX dmg and some CB orbs.
you can socket with perfect rainbow gems for more Crush blow or Perfect rubys for life after kill
Helm - there are a few choices here, you can use Grim Spirit dud helm which you get from gift box from tristram, or you can use Sky Guard which has DR % on it which is Very helpful. i will use Sky Guard as example for pic.
when socketing go for Perfect Amethsts to hlp get that max block and def and dmg
Use this as main helm until you get to mid game gear, Marco reminded me about this helm,
same as normal, make base helm (doesnt have to be sacred base but better def) make to superior and use renewal pot untill 50+ed base, then use lcuky pot for more def then mo as you wish, best going for ed def mo's but i am posting pic as base only withoiut jewels and mo's! but make 4 sox and roll nice jewels to put in ect!
thanks again marco for remembering this helm
Armor - Ofc Jitans mass ele dmg DR ect
also socket with Perfect Amethsts
Shield - there are a few different shields you can go for here to start and diff people will have different opinions, but for example i will use RAZOR DISK as add alot of dmg ect, here you can add diff things in, io's help alot for DEX for block, or Perfect Turqoise for 25% magic find,
Belt - Dead Fall, this will be your belt all the way through. shower of rocks on kill, mass str and Crush blow ect
add perfect Amethsts for Dex
Gloves - i will use Feather Claw as expample, but Horrific T1 gloves work good with dex,reis(makes 60all reis), couple of reanimates works well orb as you go
Boots - Here i use Death spur for str dex and max dmg on lvl with 4 perfect amethsts in works well, you can use lion paw here or horrific also ,
Rings - Use Emp bands here, Easy find, and can be made with the 2 arcane crystals recipe few rolls and go for 5% add Dex mo's this helps alot towards max block ect,
Amu - Here i can only give stats of needed untill i get pic uploaded as i muted my amu by accident and made into a berry when orbing
Basically to start untill u get to end game gear get a rare amu and use dragon roll in a2 roll untill you get +3 skills and Doom on kill enemy, then try for lucky up, dont worry to much if you dont get lucky up as u can roll another anytime. orb with Dex and thunder hammer, try to max thunder hammer orb. (15 orbs)(+30 lvl)
Switch - Roll a rare druid staff or make Thai runeword staff for switch buff for berry's and mark of the wild
with the items above, you char should be EASY able to get the basic charms:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mid Game Gear - i will post the items and stats only, will upload pics when i get time,
By Far Trap Rat SET , Try Double orb on it, then once you can farm legacy of blood try upgrading with charm for Ignore Targets Defence this helps alot
Awsome re animates and stats, you lack ele dmg but this is awsome till you find end game gear. all gear with perfect amethsts or io's and perfect turqoises in shield add's 150% magic find for farming,
Stats of complete set :
Full Set Bonus:
With 2 or more set items:
+25% Bonus to Summoned Minion Life
With 3 or more set items:
+1 to Druid Skill Levels
With 4 or more set items:
Total Character Defense Plus 50%
With Complete Set:
Adds 1500-2000 magic damage
25% Chance of Crushing Blow
+100 to all Attributes
All Resists +50%
50% Chance of Uninterruptable Attack
50% Reanimate as: Ratfink
with set you should be able to get the charms you struggled with earlier still only the basic charms, not laz,kab ect.
keep same rings unless on you way through farming you come accross Der Nebel Ring , Bad Mood Ring , or Rapture Ring
using set while farming with the mass reanimates of RatFink , your char just walks farming places as your ratfinks will chase the target being a distraction for you to kill them and collect drops.
for those who dont know what ratfink is:

These little rats dont make a massive amount of damage on your enemys but they do a bit and cannot be killed, they dont last for ever they die off within a few minutes but with hugh % reanimate you wont even notice odd 1's dieing off.

End Game Gear :
There are a few diff items for end game gear, depending on you liking, i will explain next to each item why this item is good, and al say which i use,
Armors
Hratlis Craft - High Dex, 500CP for making pots (untill you do dragon quest on CC) and high magic find % , DR
Natasha Armor - VERY endgame as takes alot of farming and trading to make but roll till high stats - 20% Damage Reduced, -50 elemental reis ect ignore target Def (newest patch doesn't allow Ultra runes to be removed form items)
Jitans Armor Tier 6 - Mass ele dmg and comes in handy for farming alot of places also has 10% DR - i use this most of time for Fautz tran ect until i got natasha,
Helms
Augurs dudu helm - Awsome helm casts BloodLust on kill of enemy and good stats
Metal Head - Ignore Targets Defence - life on striking which works on quills - re animates - lightning dmg - total char def = i used this till i got natasha
Goat Lord - Pentagram when kill enemy is very nice and queit powerful - increase life, absorb , re animate.
Sky Spirit (pic soon) . Once you see stats you will see why!
Weapons
Sssu Kriss - Claw Tornado Cleans Fautz within minutes brilliant item if you can get i use this for fautz,
Qor Runeword - Mass ele dmg +life + reis the best main item for farming
On this you need to make the following base : keep rolling till you get the Double orb base from the Sha'adz mo, untill you get 50+ ed base, as soon as you get the double orb base, then straight away use the lucky pot to make more ed, once this is done you need to get the ed to 350%ed base using the 15%ed mo's.
this is how you base can be, but aslong as you get the 350% ed base is the main thing, this MUST be done before making the runeword! dont go over 20% char lvl req from mo's. as the rune requires lvl 100 base, +20 from mo's gives max 120% req!
find best jewels you can, chice is yours i use 1 demonstorm jewel and random rare jewel in mine on this pic:
roll till you get around or OVER 1k dmg, this is just random i made.
Wizard Spike (sssu blade) - Death blossom when enemy slain and +1% block helps alot , skill , 100% FHR , dmg , -enemy fire reis
Frost Needle, GLACIAL nova on kill, wipes out and freezes remaining very powerful and nice stats.

Qor boots - Farming with these is awsome for reanimates, and the reanimates max your reis with there aura, but highly laggy

USE THESE AS MAIN BOOTS IF AND WHEN YOU FIND!

Switch
Shamanka bloodlust staff if you dont use augurs for buff, BL helps alot with ele dmg but has to be cast often,
get as high blood lust as you can, i think 16 is highest on here
Su Flamen + skills for prebuff berrys
Ssu Gnarled staff(Azgars) best staff for buff, high skills and Mark of the wild Buff!
Amu -
4 skill Doom amu works well with good stats and doom helps wipe places out,
Klaatu - skill , Psn dmg , lightning dmg , reis , 50% dmg to necrobots(fautz)
