Which rings/amulets are SSSUs? I can find Tyrael’s might in Fauztin or no? It says lvl130 but not sure if area needs to be higher than 130?

Tyrael's can be found in Fauzt/Viz-Jun or any other 130 zone like all other SSSU. Jewelry are not included as SSSU and are as such just SU and can be dropped in any A104 or greater areas which has potential to drop SU, though some are clearly rarer then others.

Fauntz->Bremmtown is a good SSSU route since BT is inside Fauntz and both are A130 areas.

How exactly does minion resists work? Do they have any passive resists or do I need to supply "all" of it?

Base of 0%, so you must provide any/all of it.

Unless things have changed in Sigma, summons gain +15% innate Elemental res per Skill Level, up to a max of 75%. You can increase it further with the "Summoned Minion Resists" mod--again, up to a max of 75% (so, 150% total). They suffer the same res penalties in Nightmare (-50%) and Hell (-100%) that you do.

Iirc, mercs have +100% innate res. But their character sheet is bugged, so it always shows 75%.

Sounds generous, none of these are stated in tool-tips or calculated in D2Stats. Would be nice to see a total calculation of these somewhere.

So it's impossible to get minions with 75% res in Hell? I guess immortal minions is boring, makes sense. Thanks.

Thanks!! I thought jewelries meant jewels only but now I know. It’s crazy to think I can get an amulet that grants me an ultimate skill just by running thru hell acts

It's kinda one of those "hidden" mechanics that confused people for a long time (myself included). SB explained it after M2017 was released.

Afaik, yes. Max res summons can have in Hell is 50%

So all i need is +50% to minions res or more? Do they suffer a penalty like players and mercs?

Normal resistance in hell for monsters is 35%, bosses have 70% so you effectively need 170% pierce to bring bosses down to -100%. Samael has 199% and is the exception. Monsters with "Absorb" to X element are 30/50/75% resistant respectively and unaffected by pierce of that element.

-50% in NM, -100% in Hell, same as you. Innate they gain 15% per skill point up to 75%, then you can add another 75% from items to bring it to 50% in Hell, effective cap for minions.

Regarding the auctions on the forum: is there a way to tell if the item being sold is on ladder or non-ladder?
