I forget, does -All Enemy Res include Phys/Magic spell damage?

No. Physical resist is just defense/dr ratings. Magic pierce only comes from doom hard points. Fairly new to the game I think.

For SpeedCalc, is it just '1H Swing' when using necro Deathlord morph? I'm using a dagger. Does the morph affect any other breakpoints - FHR/FBR/FRW etc?

Well, since I'm out of ideas, I'm just gonna swallow my pride and ask: has anyone had any luck taking Feedback Sorc through end-game? She just seems so slow and squishy, despite the active and passive DR. She's a terrible farmer and her gear options seem so limited. Every playthrough, I try different skill/gear combos, but always get stuck in the same place with about 10 Ubers left.

If anyone's interested, here's what my build looks like right now:

I've recently been playing around with basically the same setup, but with

Kerrigan's Chest

paired with an Eerie-craft War Scepter with the Psionic Storm oskill. TBH, this seems better than using the Sorc's own Feedback skills, but she still gets destroyed in many of the later Uber levels (especially Fauzt, Bremmtown, and Vizjun).

As far as the remaining Ubers go, I have an idea how I want to do most of them, but BPR, Kabraxis, Vizjun, and Bremmtown have been a lot of trouble. I haven't taken her to Ureh yet, but I can't imagine it'll be sunshine and rainbows.

Anyway, any advice is appreciated.

so on dest lvl to hit the 75% cap for minion resist do i need 125% total min resist? i thought for terror therers a -25%
penalty so is it -50% on dest??

same question about fire cold poison lightening resist to hit the cap of 75%(ignore things that raise the max cap for now)
to hit the base max cap of 75% on dest lvl do i really need to have a total of 125% all resist??or higher? does the same 25% penalty on terror and 50% on dest apply?

Q: What are the minions' base resists?
A: Every minion gains +15% to all resistances per skill level, capping at +75% at level 5. Items with +% minion resists, as well as curses with -% resists, are applied at the end.
Totems are the exception, they have 0% base resists at all levels and difficulties, and do not benefit from +% minion resists. Lower Resist affects them, though.


Q: What are the minions' max resists (without buffs / auras)?
A: +75% minion resists, will get you to the item-mod cap.
This means that (assuming level 5+ minions):
In Hatred with +0% minion resists, minions have 75% resists.
In Hatred with +75% or more minion resists, minions have 150% resists.
In Terror with +0% minion resists, minions have 25% resists.
In Terror with +75% or more minion resists, minions have 100% resists.
In Destruction with +0% minion resists, minions have -25% resists.
In Destruction with +75% or more minion resists, minions have 50% resists.

Resistance penalty for terror is 50% for both players and minions 100% on destruction

You can only get 75% max minion resist on items. So add with that innate 75% minion resist, that's 150% in total. With -100 penalty on destruction, the most you can get is 50%.

ohhhhh okay i miss understood the usage for max 75% got it so all my items can only equal 75% anything over is effectively wasted??? or does overage counter - resis effects from monsters??

does it work like a elemresist debuff where if a creatute has +10%elem pierce if i had 85% minion resis id still have 50% cause that extra 10 % on my items would counter it??


and for elem resist on my pc .. for elem/all resist to get 75% or 90% once i raise my max resist.. on dest .. id need to have 175%? or 190%??? cause of the 100% penalty??

[Scalewinged]

The only reason in gathering above 75% minion res is to counter some curses like lower resist from harpies in a5. Not sure about pierce from monsters.

[Kostetus]

Are there any ranged/caster builds to farm TA/K3k/Dunc/Fautz with high enough MF and without dying too often?
But not sorc plz
