Damage reduction is capped at 50%? D2SE shows in game stats 60%+ so higher DR doesn't works?

For practical purposes, 50% is the cap against normal attacks. Iirc, anything above 50% only reduces damage taken from Crushing Blow.

In addition it will also counter curses like colloseum, amplify damage, etc.

To make sockets in eth items you have to use larzuk's quest from a5, in fact when item is superior eth he is making maximum number of sockets, thats why this quest is very useful. Ofc we talking about grey items.

Trees have incredibly high phys dr so you need to use merc with elemental atks (a3 or a5 merc) or full phys-to-ele convertion, like egg trap.
