I recently found the last piece of Testament of Apes set. Is this any good? If yes, which class should use it? Given the crossbow, seem like necro is prime candidate but I've got my crossbow necro loaded with Hwanin's and I'm reluctant to change him. Would druid or bowzon be good with Ape?

If using a WDM skill with an elemantal base weapon, there is no phys damage in this skill or no damage in it at all?

D2Stats will show your exact weapon damage of each element, which you can multiply by the WDM modifier and any conversions etc. Elemental weapons usually have no base physical damage, but you can still get flat physical damage from various items, which is equivalent to having it on your weapon.

Does +x% spell damage works on add X-XX elemental damage? As I remembered, it did so. And this is why sorc last fire passive skill is replaced by firedance long time ago. But I can't find detailed information about this in sigma.

It works only on direct melee hits, see https://forum.median-xl.com/viewtopic.php?t=186.

I still get confused by all the different types of levels while crafting jewels.

For instance: I want a jewel with +1% to all attributes, the rest is not that important. According to this table https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/wiki/affixes, min alvl = 82, max alvl = 99, req lvl = 99.

Does that mean that the ITEM level of the jewel (which gets reduced with each crafting instance) has to be at least 82? Or does lower ITEM level reduce the odds of getting a bigger number of affixes? Can I get +1% to all attributes on a jewel with ITEM level of, say, 40?

Yes. That suffix won't appear if the jewels ilvl is lower than 82.

I don't know where did you get that 99 req lvl though...

I made a typo. It's actually 41.

Does force blast decrease all sorts of enemy damage or just enemy phys damage?
