If your current build is working great on terror then it'll be just fine in dest.

Thank you.

And can anyone give me any information on what Ice Elementals receive from the elemental passives. There are 4 of them as far as I can tell. Snow Queen, Living Flame, Warp Armor, and Vengeful Power. I might as well take Snow Queen since I'm already in the ice tree, but which one would be best for summons if I'm going to focus on Blade Spirits and Ice Elementals?

I'm assuming only the player gets the damage reduction from Vengeful Power. What about Warp Armor? Do they inherit the bonus defense or chance to avoid damage?

they receive all passives as it says.

I'm confused then because Living Flame increases maximum life yet they are not getting that increase in life when I put points into Living Flame. Also, it does not say their defense rating anywhere so I was not sure if they benefit from defense bonuses or % damage reduction.

Can shields not roll 2% increased chance to block on crafts?

100 shrines, 10 rolls of 1% ctb, did i waste my money and time?

It spawn on shields except:
Paladin Shields, Assassin Shields, Barbarian Shields, Amazon Shields, Necromancer Shields.

I was playing around with spell damage and the synergies again and I wondered if someone can tell me the complete formula for the total damage of a spell (fire, cold or light so no poison skills).
From what I tested it should be something like base-damage*(1+(corresponding spelldamage in %)/100%)*(1+(synergy-bonus in %)/100%) where the base-damage only depends on hard and soft skill level but I do not know if this is correct...

D2Stats shows Dark Power increasing skill attack speed, faster hit recovery and faster block rate instead of just IAS as the skill suggests. Anyone know if it actually increases them?

hey where would be a good place to look for Full plate sankekurs?

In terms of gear progression, what's the best way to progress once you have decent TU's and some runewords? I'm assuming you're not supposed to step foot into Fauztinville until you have good gear so great runes are out of the question. Do I grind sets and SU's for awhile? I can kill things in Fauztinville at level 100, but I have no answer for the physical immunity monsters yet.

Hey Guys!

New to the game so this question has probably been asked a lot, but i'll post it anyway because i do not seem to find a straight answer anywhere.
It is my first playthrough i am currently in terror difficulty at lvl 88, i am doing the black road challenge, but i cannot summon King Koth on Mt. Arreat. Somewhere i read that a Book of Summoning is required, but i do not know how to obtain it. Also i read that the summoner drops it, but so far he has not and i'm afraid of overleveling for the challenge. So how am i supposed to get the book/summon King Koth?
Thanks a lot in advance!
