There in no difference between SP and TCP/IP drop rates, when people talk about multiplayer they are usually referring to TSW.

Thanks

ias breakpoints on act1 ranger?

This probably has been answered before. Can you use stances (i.e wolf/lion/kraken stance) while morphed in forms (i.e Deathlord, werewolf form)

Does having 500% deadly strike do anything more than having 100%? I'm not sure if there is a flat rate of deadly strike and the % doubles that rate, or if 100% means it a guaranteed double damage attack every time.

Is there any benefit to having more, or at least over 100%?

Also, the Harbinger Druid ability is considered an attack. It converts Phys to magic damage.

Would Magic/Phys % items increase this damage?
Would flat spell power% increase this damage?
Would it be best just to have more enhanced weapon damage in order to boost the damage that is converted?

Yes

No. Over 100% does not give you anything.

Initial hit only, not "splash" damage for added dmg only.

initial hit/target only. But if it's just conversion - no, won't give any benefits.

For max dmg go with enhanced dmg on weapon, not spell damage.

Thank you for that.

Would enhance damage Mo'd on other gear, or 200EDamage stats on certain runewords and items have the same effect?

When a modifier states that it is "on attack" whether it be life, mana or a proc, what is considered the "attack". Is it the initial attack animation itself? I understand the "on striking" modifier and how it effects %wdm spells but wondering if the "on attack" MO's are worth it.

Chance to Block = Block% * (Dexterity - 15)/2 * Character_Level
