It is physical, you can see also see the damage type in LCS by it's color.

Oh ok, makes sense, thank you.
And it can't be boosted by normal phys dmg boosters such as phys dmg % items?

adrenaline rush (unique ring) grants me a lvl 17 rapture and 200% buff duration and rapture itself only lasts 30sec? are those 17 points from the item not count as hard points or is this just a bug?

Hey,

im able to farm terror tran athula really fast and find lots of set sacred items, but rarely uniques. Is there a loot cap on terror tran athula?

Sacred uniques will not drop on terror difficulty. They only drop in destruction difficulty.

Rapture is a hard-point based skill for the duration. Hard points in the paladin skill add 20 seconds per level. As an oskill, its only 30 seconds, but gains the increased speeds still per soft level.

Sacred Uniques don't drop in Terror. They can drop anywhere in Destruction, but nowhere in Terror.

No. Immersion is a separate type of physical spell damage -- Feedback damage. It's only boosted by the amount of mana you have.

Glancing through quests page, am I correct in assuming that + to maximum skill levels is capped at 3 on class charms once mini games are done?

And what is the current patch + to max skills?

Thanks

Struggling to understand Sorc arcane (Mana) tree:

Immersion and Mana sweep say they do "Feedback damage". What type of damage is this?
Familiar does "Damage". Is that physical?

Does no-one know?
Immersion looks like a stream of bluish-white stars... could be lightning, cold, both... something else.

Hey Bud, Feedback damage is a certain type of Physical/Magical spell damage that can't be boosted, unless you put the enemy in the negative physical resistance zone. Same with Arcane torrent, Mana Sweep, and Immersion. They can't be boosted by any other means other than Gear that grants Mana. This makes Mana sorc VERY VERY Gear dependent. (But here's a hint, it's EPIC at UL farming.)

Ahhh thank you
So any +magic dmg or % magic dmg won't work. And the -enemy resist% MOs are gone. So if an item has +200 mana (or +energy) then it boost the total mana and that boosts the Feedback Damage?

I'm wondering if this is do-able build since Immersion got "greatly increased damage". Or is it only good in UL (Unformed Land?).
Thinking is:

Use Arcane Torrent (hits for % of current mana) to lower mana pool. Also any other skills that use mana in the usual way.
Use Antimass to heal, does Mana --> Life so it also lowers current mana by a lot.
Now that mana is low, use Immersion which is dmg based on & of Lost Mana.

Some of those may be one-point wonders, maybe just Antimass, not sure.

I can still have two other skill trees so I guess Frost (lots of 1-point wonders and meat shields) and... Lighning? Poison maybe. Both look possible but I might run out of skill points to smax more than a couple

Mana sorc was my first character this ladder, and has gotten me Natasha's from UL farming. (almost, just got lazy and missing a few primals)

I only used immersion for single target damage but I only one pointed it, so it was useless later on, otherwise I use Arcane torrent for mobs just after I use mana sweep, and I use Antimass to empty my mana pool to use Mana Sweep. Anti-mass>Mana Sweep>Arcane Torrent>Anti-mass. You are pretty much always trying to have a full mana pool, or an empty one. Never in-between. She does not do well vs Single target if you're only using arcane. It may be a idea to go Ice/Thunder for defense and T stone for single target damage.

You can do well with honorific gear with +50 to energy, Minion res to make the ice elemental's survive better... ALSO Huge tip, The melee tree's blades are a GREAT minion to dump points into. They can survive almost anything and are the most tanky minion in the entire game I believe.

Witchmoon
Amulet
Required Level: 100
Item Level: 100
1% Chance to cast level 17 Mana Sweep on Death Blow
+(1 to 3) to All Skills
+(10 to 20) Spell Focus
+(10 to 20)% to Spell Damage
Maximum Mana +(30 to 40)%

is also an ammy you should strive for. As much mana and energy as possible!

When it comes down to it though, just experiment. You'll find a mixture that will fit you best.

If my hireling has an armor with -20 to all enemy resistances and I also have it, does it stack? does it apply -40?

If instead of the same armor I have a buff like the one from the unholy paladin, does it stack with the armor from the hireling?

And how does it work exactly? is it an aura? if my hireling with the - resistance armor is a screen away, do the monsters next to me receive the debuff? this is quite important since the hireling bugs quite often and gets stuck somewhere.

I found an emblem of destruction, wich is a cube reagent, does anyone know something about it ?

[archon256]

Does Light and Shadow's holy bonus increase VoJ's base damage or is it additive with spell damage?
for example if I have 7% phys damage from Light and Shadow, and 10% from MOs, is the damage calculated as (base damage)*1.07*1.1, or (base damage)*1.17
