Short Questions Thread

a. If you are standing still, you will NOT get block penalty
b. No block penalty applied here either.
c. While you're moving, you get penalized. While attacking or casting, no penalty.

2. Doom Magic pierce affects everything that deals magic damage, even if its not fully magic or wdm, as it lowers the magic resistance of the monster.

EDIT: Misread first questions, fixed.

Thanks a lot for the clarification

its 100% conversion to fire, so every bit of fire pierce up to -170 against hell bosses ramps your damage up big. you'll defnitely want fire pierce.

secondary is just stacking physical damage because that converts into fire. %ewd, %ed, actual bow's physical damage output, deadly strike

How does magic find scale in median xl? Is it exactly as in vanilla lod? I'm more specifically interested in the values for unique items between 200% and 300% mf. In vanilla, the difference between 200% and 300% magic find is only 25% increase in finding unique items (from 111% bonus to 136%), so that's pretty low.

Does the Pathless Ida SSU still work if you have a stance provided by items; such as Wolf Stance from the Curse of the Zakarum set?

I'm very confused about my askarbydd. It has lower damage than the bow I use, but when I equip it I have more damage on character sheet. Why is that?

No because you still have to actually "equip" the stance to be active, but it works with

Auriel's Robe

Auriel's Robe
Light Plate (Sacred)
Defense: (7583 - 9229) to (8905 - 10882)
Required Level: 100
Required Strength: 650
Item Level: 120
50% Movement Speed
Weapon Physical Damage +100%
+(140 to 200)% Enhanced Defense
+1000 Defense
+3000 Defense vs. Missile
Physical Resist 10%
Socketed (6)

as far as I'm aware. Could be wrong.

You actually have to put points in your stances to lose the benefits, im 99%. Auriels robe gives you the stance for free, you dont have to put points in it.

Just two questions.
Whats a bis gear?
