Ehmm.... Energy only ^_^
PS: Note that pure energy bonus cap was divided by 2 so now total spell damage capped at 120% from energy + 100% from 1000 spell focus (220% total according to changelog will be equal 440% pre-1.7)

i read the patch notes and didnt see any change to the mechanics, Lucion takes no damage when charmed. Just fought Malic/Lucion for 10 minutes and his health bar never moved. Never had this problem in single player or any other ladder. Tried 3 times now and same problem.

Check if the debuff (next to mana globe) from the book is active, if so (missing debuff symbol) remove book from inventory and put it back in.
=> Debuff Icon should appear and Lucion should take damage

so no matter how many times i dropped the book the buff would only come on for a split second then disappear. So i tested a bunch of things and if you are wearing Idol of Fortune amulet you cannot get the buff to appear. guess ill post in the bug section

The Idol of Fortune thing is apparently known, check this thread
From the tips & tricks section:

There are also a few items and effects that can break the aura, like Idol of Fortune
, or the spells cost life instead of mana onRed Vex' Embrace
. If picking and putting the tome back down doesnt fix the aura, remove your item(s), starting with breaking sets.

thank you for the replies and info!

Nevermind

1. Does necromancer Abyss Knights benefit from Deadly Strike that is given by Rathma's Chosen?
2. Does necromancer Abyss Knights benefit from Deadly Strike and physical damage boost that is given by Dark Power from A1 merc?

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to change the stats on a set item by any way?
Oil of luck? Mystic Orbs ? Other way ?

Yeah. You can add Oils of Luck and MOs and stuff to set pieces.
Afaik, the only set pieces you can't modify are the Yshari Sanctum sets.
