Oh, so it's other way around for them, okay. So what is the penalty in Hell and what will their final resistance be?

-100 on Hell. So if you have that base 75% + 75% minion res from items they will end up with 50% res.

lol I only got 75 res on my minion thought that's the max even you go in different difficulty. And they didn't quite die fast in my quovsin run , and some summon guide telling 75% is enough . Did minion have also penalty coz good minion resist roll on jewel and shrine kinda hard to get ,and balancing it in damage , life and attkrating .

Iirc minions have a maximum of 50% resists, so you cap it at 75% in hell. 75% is enough.

Either that or their base res is 75%. 75% is cap anyway.

Figured as much after some time as well, thanks for extra clarification!

Another easy question - I know that (or at least heard so) minions get resistances per hardpoints up to 75% but difficulties also lower their resistances and their maxes can't be increased so 75% resistances is the maximum they can get. Can someone tell me how much minion resistances do I need to get them to 75% in Nightmare and in Hell? Thanks!

You can't get them to 75%
75% is the cap for minion resist from items and you will never go over it Only exception is iron golem that benefit from item's resist.

Oh, so it's other way around for them, okay. So what is the penalty in Hell and what will their final resistance be?

You get 15% per base level in the minion you want to use, capping at 75%. Another 75% from items caps the minion resist at 50% in hell difficulty. At least that's what was said in the Sumodin guide. But it's already outdated and the hell resistances have been adjusted since then. But I think one of the moderators confirmed that they didn't change the resistance and resistance penalties for minions, so it should still be the same.

Witch blood clearly states that it only works for sorceress skills, and frozen orb is not a sorc skill.

Which should be re-stated. Wink-wink to dev team and make sorc compare to palas.

[Istaryu]

I definetly agree with that.

Do yall have any tips, tricks or advice to help with Holy Bolt / Purify missing? It travels so slow and has such a small hit box that it is truly becoming an irritations today.

Thank you.

Not much can be done here. Slow target works up to 25% and can perhaps help you. The closer you are, the less distance purify bolt will have to travel. Sounds obvious I know.

Yshari Sanctum is slightly harder than any other purify boss to me because you can’t slow him nor choose your gear. A good time to strike is at medium distance shortly after he blinked. Most of the time, in my experience, he is standing still casting for 3-4 seconds, enough to clean most adds and shoot once. I still feel there is a lot of RNG in this fight. Another thing you can do is building your character defensively ( Maxing skills that increase life, defense, damage reduction etc ...) Won’t help hitting Valthek more often, but it will help not to die when getting closer to purify him.

I have a few questions about NEC
1. How much fire resistance of carnage is the most reasonable? -70%？
2. Royal or Lacuni cowl for dagger NEC helmet?
I don't think I can improve my injury




How can I improve?
