2 parts to this post.

1, what is the rational that so many high level mobs are completely immune to any air damage? I get that some mobs you face will be weaker and/or stronger vs different builds, but it seems that against just every high level mob, air damage is completely useless. I am also a tamer build, so it's not like I don't have a way to kill the tough mobs, it is just puzzling why a specific build is next to useless vs just about anything...

The only way to move with a mouse in combat, as far as I know, is to have auto attack enabled.

Anyone have any trick to disable auto attack and still move with a mouse in combat?

I don't want to wear down durability on my staff smacking things.

I realize stacking makes the unstacked more powerful, that isn't the question, my question is whether there is any value in taking this above GM?

My question is, I had previously asked, in discord I believe, about if I needed to raise chaos magic to build the resistance, if any mobs used chaos magic, and an example I used was demons.

I was told that this was only for pvp.

I clearly was hit by torpid torment today by a mob mage, which ripped my air shield off.

So it appears for sure that mobs do use chaos magic for sure.

I had actually reduced all of my chaos tree skills I had recently, because a cpl...
