What are most people socketing in their Wizardspikes that are running Trinity Beam? What about MOs and UMOs? Realize it will depend on other gear and all but curious if there's any most common practices.

What's the current state of Stormblast? Last time I used it was many years ago, I bet it was nerfed multiple times since then. It used to hit 44 or 40 times per attack I believe. How many times does it hit now? Is there next-hit-delay and if there is, how many times realistically can it hit?

How does it compare to Necromancer's Carnage for single target? Also, how many times does Carnage hit?

Question about Pinnacle CoTW. Would it be beneficial to use this in something like a Xis Pax staff for the extra skills? Would putting it into a Xis Pax with some suicide notes equate to more EF and Max Stam per extra skill, or would it still just be the 15 EF, 20 Max Stam and +1 SK from the base skill? I've heard some conflicting info on this and just wanted to hear a few more opinions before using it.

One question about ITD（Ignores Target's Defense）: Does it work for pets in median?

Only EF scales with soft skill lvl, +skills and +stamina only raising with base levels. so you will get +1skill, +20 stamina and +xx EF based on total level of Pin.
