Does celestial hideout only drop from shaper, or is there a chance during uber elder as well?

It can be found from either fight.

I just got awakener level 7 but the last region does not have a citadel to put watchstones in. Am I meant to have killed Sirus before getting level 8? What do?

There's currently a bug where citadels can get hidden by atlas UI. If you zoom in on your atlas it should become visible.

If I am wearing Hrimsorrow/Hrimburns and I cast Wave of Conviction, will it cause Cold Exposure or can Wave of Conviction only expose fire or lightning?

It will cause cold exposure if it deals primarily cold damage, so that would work.

I saw a build with a node highlighted not connected to other nodes. How is that possible? Thanks in advance

Amulet anointment through Cassia, Intuitive Leap, or Thread of Hope

How does CwDT count suffered damage? Does it use really removed life after all reductions and resists, or unmitigated damage? Is it possible to use CwDT with CI builds?

Real damage taken, after mitigation. Works with CI or MoM, doesn't care what takes the damage. Doesn't count DoT.

I'm new to endgame, but does the "Awakening Bonus" mechanic not work due to a bug or is it something I'm doing wrong?

I've got four stones in the region, the hover-over says "tier 14" and my awakening level is 1. I've done Glacier three times in a row like this and the bonus never gets checked.

What tier Glacier did you run?

Trying to craft a sword like this. When I enter a base with one % increased Phys Damage in my bench it'll say a mod of this type already exists. Does this go away if you put 3 crafted modifiers on there? Or how does this work?

The non-crafted increased physical damage on the sword in the screenshot is not from an increased physical damage mod. It's from a hybrid increased physical damage/accuracy mod, which is in a different mod family to the normal increased physical damage mods (meaning that an item can have both).

Two MTX questions: * Does Invisible Buff hide Banner skills? Google gave me two answers but none really recent - No, and Yes but bugged atm. * I bought the Elder set with the tentacle wings last time it was on sale and really dig it other than the helm. Anyone have suggestions for a good helmet that will work well with the set that I can pick up?

Does Invisible Buff hide Banner skills?

Yes. Can personally confirm as of last league.

Smoking Hood maybe? I love it with the Crucible Hood, but Smoking Hood seems like the closest purchasable replacement.
