Yes, with basic charms (good Spirit Trance Herb etc.) you pretty much always hit 95%. And bosses you don't are 'immune' to ITD anyway.

~how much mf should I have in destruction to be seeing SU/Sets? I think I'm pulling just short of 300 (did basic charms already) on my trap rat(don't have full set yet) and I'm just getting shredded (then again I don't have max res).

If you look at the diagramm - 300 to 400 would be where I say that the returns are too low to stack it higher.

Also have you considered jugging magic find potions every minute? And remember kill speed > mf!

Even with 0 mf you can find a SSSSU.

yeah I'm towards end of mid game I'd say, working on chugging mf pots (need to find the rubies)
I can kill regular shit pretty fast but I also die pretty fast, just cant farm uberlevels/bk3/dunc or anywhere where there is drop bias

thanks for your input

Any chance that someone makes a damage calculator? Like this one: http://diablo2.ingame.de/tips/calcs/dmg ... ?&lang=eng

Enter damage, values, get damage.

A Median XL guru... a true book of knowledge
A general all purpose damage calc for spells? Possibly in the future when MXL db is fully operational.

As for the moment you could make a damage calculating spreadsheet for any of the non-XV introduced spells by taking the info from the cmxl texts and adjusting the base damage parameters according to the ultimative changelogs (if necessary).

I know that broken crystal + jew = arcane crystal. Is there any recipe for Book (drop from Brachy)?

Hi, does Shadow Dancer's Critical Strike effect elemental weapon dmg? Or just physical? If yes do hv confirm?

Does the Critical Strike applied to Crucify and Blade Barrier skill or any other, as it is 1-hand swing and not Dual-hand swing?
