Anyone knows, if lucky bonus works on Sorceress Arcane Set (rings)?
I tried lucky recipe on 29 rings and go 0 with SD bonus.
Maybe lucky does not work here, or i'm just super-unlucky?

actually do, and does it benefit from +all skills or from +barb skills or any other classes +skills?

theorycrafting now:

The orange text "100% of Magnetic Field Bonus Lightning Damage Converted to Physical" of

Thunderbane

-> is that before or after the skill is effected by "+lightning spell dmg" ?
-> so if i equip thunderbane, does "+lightnng spell dmg" or "+physical/magical spell dmg" effect magnetic field?

Scepter mastery is the orange text, +200% ewd if you use a scepter, its a bit confusing.
Magnetic field doesnt scale with spell damage. It is tagged as a spell, just like hammer of zerae, only because it uses cast animation, but it does weapon based damage (and doesnt have energy synergy, like a real spell does). I tried thunderbane like 3 seasons ago, when i was playing hammezon, its not good. Sure it sounds good on paper that it will now do pure physical damage, so that you dont need pierce for it, and even spellbind will boost its damage, but most bosses will move and/or teleport out of it really fast, as it multihits a lot, and has a very small aoe, and its damage is reduced the further an enemy is from its center.

thanks for both answers, they both are confusing^^

so even the lighning bonus dmg from magnetig field (or all the ama lighning skills for that matter) is not increased by +spell dmg?
so the lighning ama is just another wdm build? sad

Check Akara.

Is there a Pierce Cap? Im finding that much over 150-170% Pierce doesn't seem to make much difference anymore. 200% doesnt seem any different at all than 150%.
