Short Questions Thread

i think the description needs to be changed for XIS now to read "ITEM becomes unsocketable" cuz even if u put a xis in 1st and a regular after, you scant unsocket any of them.

(now esp that shaaad & Xis arent equivalent anymore)

Does deadly strike work for skills like Ancient Hand with 100% elemental conversion?
Also, regarding aforementioned skill - does the 35% conversion applies also to other sources of damage? Like barbarian bear stance, wolf stance or necromancer dragonfire oil all get stacked to one big damage pool, then it all gets converted to fire and 35% of that damage shall be applied per hit?

Yes, the required level will be whatever the highest is of the item itself and whatever you put in the sockets, PLUS the MO additional levels.

I usually put perfect gems in my T4 honorifics because the level req is 18 (which is usually right around the req level of a T4 item anyhow). It all comes down to what you need most... are the socket fillers doing anything for you? If you don't need them at all, but you really need the MO space, you could even do a T1 honorific instead and don't put anything in it.

To answer your question, don't put anything in with a high level requirement. It pretty much defeats the purpose of an honorific item.

thx

The last part. The % Weapon Damage that a skill deals acts as a multiplier to all damage being dealt with it, including the poison.

DS works for converted damage b/c the mod is applied after the damage is converted. DS won't apply to the Fire damage from Dragonfire Oil b/c that's additional flat Fire damage, not Phys damage being converted to Fire damage. The skill's WDM is the last mod in the calculation, so it's applied after all other damage mods are added up.

ModDB has a lot of older patches.
This link goes as far back as MXL Ultimative V7. https://www.moddb.com/mods/medianxl/downloads
This link goes as far back as MXL 1.70. https://www.moddb.com/mods/median-xl/downloads
Not sure if all the download links work though.

bats from summonmancer says it does 10k dmg but it doesn't really do that much damage, do my bats need attack rating?
