What is good for any build: % damage reduction resist and anything that makes you Tanky like defense or maxblock or avoid.

What's good for weapon damage based builds: life on striking, life Leach, ewd, CB and Dex or str depending on what your weapon is scaling with (daggers for example need more dex to do more damage) and procs on attack (only melee) on striking (melee and ranged) and on kill (any build that kills with weapon damage or poison)

What's good on spell damage based builds: %spell damage, energy factor, life after each kill, -enemy resist and on kill procs if you use poison damage.

There's a lot more but I can't count them all atm.

thanks so far

@ LH i have those Gloves, but i dont understand where is damage here... just because CB? Is that stat so much dmg? I read somewhere its the 4x of normal strike... right?
% to strth can be with shrine blessed ones too... stun atack is just for meele i guess

im so happy that i found this mr. Painless now, but i realize, that im just 1 Item nearer to my dreamed OP build^^

Crushing Blow is the % chance to do a % of the enemy's current HP on top of the damage that you deal with the attack.

You must have been thinking of Deadly Strike, which works more like a critical hit.

i found this "until you realise it sucks" - bow

is it just a nonsense item, or is there any trick?

you can cube it with the catalyst of learning and it will turn into a stat signet that gives 1 attribute point. beyond that, the paladin can use it under superbeast in melee, but thats not good. so far nobody has found any usefulness from this item

Can't A1 mercs use it? That's a good amount of slow if yo uget a nice roll

yep it works pretty well with a1 merc, can get 90% slow from a single item

ok... now the secret it revealed...ty.
i got 33% - so its a sig.
what would mean 100%? Frozen?

oh thats pretty cool actually, never thought to use it on merc. for boss type monster the item slow is capped at 50% and for regular enemies 90% iirc
