the damage conversion skills benefit from those modiffiers . they carry CB , they benefit from Deadly strike , they also trigger life on striking (even if all the physical damage gets converted) which is nice to have around , as those spells you have mentioned are multihitting .

get your %ED close to the 200% Ed cap first , then worry about the rest .

What is the best Dunc farmer atm? 2 years ago Pouncezon was nice, is it still viable? I have no problem killing mobs in there with my Iron Spiral barb, but because he uses almost only runewords, I have no mf. And my abjurer merc with ~300%mf dies instantly when entering dunc :D (he has np farming TA though)

edit: If there is a merc-build capable of surviving in Dunc, that would also be an option.

You need to manage your merc so he isn't walking into barrels

How do I transform a sacred magical item into a rare sacred? Can you do that?

cube recipes page in docs.

you need to use affix burn to turn the magic item into a plain white one, then you can use Charsi to imbue it to make it rare

Stuck at "connecting to fastest server" then after 30 seconds it tells me it can't connect. Literally was playing an hour ago just fine. Made no changes to anything since then.

looks like the only server down is the NJ one. Tried restarting, and power cycling modem. No luck. ANyone have suggestions?

Edit: Nvm, problem solved itself.

Stupid question - Does resetting skills/stats (Akara or Belladonna) cause you to lose bonus skills/stats you receive from quests and Signets of Learning?

Haven't played in a long while but, is it possible to craft rare rings/amulets to have +skills on them? I thought it was just rare ring + oil of renewal but that doesn't seem to work.
