Are Summon Resistances worth getting?

yes, you need 75 in destruction or your summons will evaporate when hit with elemental dmg

Do minions suffer from lowered resistances like players from difficulties?

yes they do. And when they are immune if you stack enough res. on Hatred and Terror, they will still take elemental damage on Destruction no matter how much resists you stack. (iirc it's capped at 50% on Destruction).

Is there any reliable way to find out if a item is worth something or not? I just recently started this ladder and i basicly have very little information on an item's value.
Probably half of you guys already bought stuff from me way below the actual value. After someone just offered Celestial Weapon for the Khazra Plate i most recently found i got quite angry cuz that's just obviously being a dickhead.

I think item value changes significantly during the first few weeks of ladder. At first any decent SU can be worth a lot to ppl who don't have it yet, but as more people play and more items drop the people who play regularly flood the market with items and prices drop substantially. The way to combat this is to nerf drops but nobody likes that solution

. It's also lucrative to make friends with people who play regularly and who generously give/loan you items you need once ladder season hype is over. I'd say 10% of median players own 80% of the overall "good" items on MP after 3-5 weeks since ladder begins (i.e. look at the tg hierarchy on home page).

I think only a few "common" items hold value throughout the ladder (value in the sense that people will always need more of it) - i.e. tg, sk1, sigs but their relative value at any time is too circumstantial to be reliable (but everyone will always need them). For me the thing that makes this mod fun is that the drop rate is decent enough that you find good items frequently enough to make the game fun and exciting.

does bonus to buff duration work on buffs cast as a proc?
and do they work on buffs the merc casts (like a5 merc motw) and/or procs (like from qaraks will)?

and does innate bloodlust have longer duration than an oskill/proc of the same lvl?
seems to me the proc from koths lesson that i use lasts much less than the innate bloodlust i cast (the innate lvl is 15, and the proc lvl is 24)

Innate bloodlust = long duration, utterly terrible stats. But can get OP end game with Firequeen + Vision of the furies shield.
Other bloodlust = short duration (needs nih runes), big spell damage
