boost damage of skills like stormblast of barb since it's a lightning skill? (Does not say spell)
Will spells like amazon Fairy Circle proc weapon mods since it says 33% weapon damage?
Thanks!

stormblast isnt spelldamage, its just converted phys dmg, so no, it isnt amplified by lightning spell dmg.
what do you mean with "weapon mods"?
it deals dmg based on your weapon damage (phys dmg from weapon + flat dmg from gear/skills + cb + ds + ow and what else) and can proc "on striking" procs and leech life

This is what I meant with weapon mods haha XD crushing blow, deadly strike and on striking things! Thx a lot!

I felt like only 33% weapon damage felt a bit weak haha now it's something I wanna try!

How do we use OW with caster or summoner? We have to come to the bosses and hit them by ourselves??? -_-

You can use Wyrd oskill, but you still need a decent amount of attack rating to actually hit someone with this skill. It's hard to stack AR as a caster so it's always better to use some weapon spec for purify bosses.

Does Tantrum apply OW? I'm thinking yes but just want to make sure.

Yes.

what itens should i use for an act 3 merc for my trapsin? I'm doing early ubers now, have some shrines.

What are the IAS breakpoints for a Tantrum (bow) Paladin in Superbeast? I can't get the calcs right.

Same for FHR and FCR during Superbeast.

Can you extend duration of superbeast of abjurer merc?
I remember back in the day, where some merc was using liche form, duration worked.

I'm testing mercs on a summoner barb, and having issues with keeping alive elemental totem. Spirits don't die entire run, but 16k hp totems basically poof in first screen full of enemies. Is there some trick to keep them alive, or just recast non stop?

Which merc do you have? Bloodmage wants Fascinated Shrine craft+bless. Abjurer wants Ornate Shrine craft+bless. Necrolyte either Sacred shrines or poison stuff.

They all have incredible Energy, Energy Factor and Total Character Defense. TCD is useless to MO! So you want to MO their weapon with faster cast rate (see table below) and their gear should have high def, MO with +def and +elemental spell damage (depends on which merc), Magic Find.
