Devil's Omen is probably the new name for Ultimative. It added:

Total Character Defense Plus 100%
20% Chance of Uninterruptable Attack
Increase Maximum Life 5%

What does deadly strike actually do and how does it scale?

Doubles physical damage.

cowking wrote:What are the stats of vindicate on a L120 pala?

i've been searching forums for any clue about the resistance changes to necromancer minions, but i've still yet to find an answer;

Do they still start with 75% flat all res, with a 75% gearcap? Or were they set to 0 across the board? This is important, because unless the gearcap was changed, the best they can hope for is -25% in Destruction? Am I missing or overlooking something?

Anyone with an answer will get their cookie button smashed. I'll be messaging one of you devs if I can't seem to get the answer from here. If they reply, i'll post it somewhere relevant on forums, like Hechts summoner guide.

idk what u were saying, if a jewel was crafted it would become an 'orange' jewel, not a magic one anymore. Also there is no longer recipe to upgrade items from magic to rare.

WSM is 20, right? I thought it's 168 for both ias and fhr?

It grants a % chance to double your damage with each eligible melee or ranged attack.

Missing some math maybe?

Penalty on Dest is -100%, you get 75% from five soft skill points on summon and 75% from gear (that is the cap) = 50% res minions on Dest.
But I too would love to hear this confirmed from some of the devs, there have been some blind rules people have followed before just because they were common knowledge passing from player to player...

Save & Exit is the only way to force it. Otherwise it saves every few minutes.

TastyTurtle wrote:Is there no way to dual swing anymore on a barb?

No. Here is a post explaining why.

Solfege wrote:What weapon value do I select in Speedcalc for calculating Sorc FCR BPs with an Orb? Is it just 1H swing or are the FCR values the same as a Staff, but 1 frame slower for each BP?

1H Swing. I.e. orbs have the same cast speed as 1h swords, sceptres, 1h maces etc.

Heathen wrote:resistance changes to necromancer minions

No change to elemental resistances (which are affected by the minion resistance stat). 75% base (at skill lvl 5 or higher) + up to 75% from minion res stat - 100% destruction penalty = 50% cap

Magic resistance = 0

Phys resistance = 30, except veil king who has 90
