Short Questions Thread

One more question. I've been going through nightmare just fine, until Durance of Hate, where I encountered a monster named Cruciator. His attack is animated similar to Nihlathak's corpse explosion in vanilla, and it rips me apart, even though I have high defense and 75+ on all resistances; they don't have a very high chance to hit (< 10%), but they deal huge damage and somehow seem to hit a lot. Am I missing some kind of resistance? How to deal with those enemies efficiently?

Guys, question about magic absorb in example.

I Have 75 res and 10% absorb.
1. Someone hit me with 1000 damage strike.
2. 75 resist will took apart 750 of 1000 incoming damage.
3. Absorb will eat 10% of remaining 250 (25), so i'll get 225 damage.
4. 25 damage will be restored, so 200 incoming damage in sum.

Am i right as for Sigma?

where is bremmtown in act 5? I can't find it

Also, does crushing blow / death strike work with Bladestorm? It appears that "on melee strike" procs do work when attacking with bladestorm, but I'm not sure I ever saw CB / DS work...

There are spells, there are summons, and there are wdm (weapon damage modifier) abilities. Weapon damage modifer abilities (anything that causes an attack animation, and will say something on the tooltip like, '85% of weapon damage converted into X') are directly affected by your weapon damage. They don't double dip into spell power. They do, however, benefit from elemental pierce. Stormblast, an ax ability for barbarians, actually has pierce built into it.

Blade storm and moonstrike both have weapon damage modifiers.

You need to kill the 5 elementals directly behind Kabraxis and cube the great gems they drop with the charm 'the black road.' After that you need to cube it with any rune to generate a portal scroll. The charm is permanent, but the scrolls are 1-time-use.

get more % p hysical resist

Really short question here: Has anyone had issues with the "Give your merc a potion" hotkey? shift + Potion does nothing no matter what health the merc is or which potion/slot I'm trying to use. If so, any potential fixes out there? Would prefer my merc to die a little less.

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, couldn't find anything on the forums
