If a skill converts 100% physical damage to some elemental damage, does Deadly Strike and Crushing Blow still works?

Yes, conversion comes after deadly strike. CB im not sure about, but it doesnt work on bosses, so whatever.

I thought so... i was under impression that i was seeing the "red" effect of CB when i was using the fire skills from necromancer crossbow trees.

But, does it not work on bosses? Is this a Median thing? Because i remeber it used to work in D2LoD.

So I'm supposed to get the soulstone paragon (baal reward) at 115 if ending act 1 dest I'm already in lvl 106? If I do act 2 I would reach 120, lol... Im even not count Act 3 and act 4 lol. Are the old recipes for "shortcut acts still working? (recipes for horadric staff and khalim's will)

I believe you'll have to skip mobs and non-essential quests. It's easier than it seems:

- you have automap reveal, showing you where exactly you're supposed to go
- if you're properly geared, most mobs don't pose much of a threat
- waypoints are your best friend, rush to them, activate them and restart the game session to get rid of mobs chasing you
- you're supposed to have at least one or two teleport skills to help you
- being lv 106 by the end of Hell Act 1 is actually fine, 105 milestone is when you're supposed to do your first uberquests
