like if i have x-y damage weapon
and a-b elemental damages from passives and items
and dmg buffs like bloodlust and motw (lets say +k% damage)
and +u% dmg to undead (assuming im attacking undead monsters)

how do i calculate my final dmg?


(weapon base damage * enhanced damage (%ED) * sum of all sources of %EWD (stats, skills, mystic orbs, bloodlust, motw, dmg to undead etc...) + adds x-y damage from items and skills * sum of all sources of %EWD)
* skill weapon damage modifier * 2 (if deadly/critical strike) * possible -res = physical damage
+ elemental damage * skill weapon damage modifier * possible -res
+ doom, TTAD

==

((base * ed * ewd + flat phys * ewd) * wdm * 2 (if ds/cs) * -res) + flat ele * wdm * -res + doom/TTAD

Well technically -res is calculated when you hit your opponent, but for purposes of calculating total damage done it's included.

So.. I totally thought I just created an awesome build in my head, but just tested it and it doesn't work.

If you can morph with an axe into a treewarden, then switch to a valkyrie's prime and use sky siege, why cant I do the same with tantrum? Shouldn't they both be blocked out of the tree warden's melee/summon/buff/debuff only?

You could tell that skills like Sky Siege are considered to be melee range skills. Just like Pounce is not blocked by Lioness.

Good point. Thank you for the clarification. Just thought it would've been cool with Elfin Weapons +% Bow damage and CB and tree warden's Circle of Life and attack speed. :oops:

I'm playing a poison sorc and I got an awesome chest plate that really took me to the next level! It comes with acid fiends, minion hp and poison damage.

It also comes with druid morph, is there any point to this morph besides changing the way I look?

I've seen the instructions for this somewhere many moons ago but damned if I can find it now. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Perhaps it's worth just waiting for Sigma, seems it should be out soon (but it's seemed that way for a while?!).

install d2 (preferably outside program files)
patch to 1.13c (http://tsw.median-xl.com/rollback.zip put this in the d2 folder and run the 1.13c patch)
put mxlu in the d2 folder www.moddb.com/mods/median-xl-ultimative ... mative-xvc
(optionally install plugy: http://plugy.free.fr/PlugY_The_Survival_Kit_v10.00.zip )
that's it. (if you installed plugy, run the game trough it)

Sure. Druid have different breakpoints.
with staff:
sorc's max cast rate is 187 Faster cast rate for 4 frames per cast, and 728 faster hit recovery for 2 frames get hit animation or 142 for 3 frames;
druids are - FCR 152/5 and FHR 360/3 or 133/4
