1) reduces elemental dmg received
2) reduces your own phys dmg
3) augments weapon elemental dmg

It's meant to be used with an elemental weapon, like Wrist Blades

Bitchhunter set can get you far enough. But overall just like any other elemental wepen build - try to balance pierce and stats (if use crafts - don't even try Trinity - they're totally worthless compared to stat crafts even at endgame)

I'm also wondering: how? There are limited stats on char pool, would be nice to know a little mechanic. Sadly after self-wipe I don't have an assa to test.

is a good combo, especially if you plan on using Charged Strike oskill, but even if you don't, they provide pretty good stats for any elemental stat-stacking build. Both can probably be beaten by a good craft, but they do bring some other things to the table.

Is sorcs Mana Shield the same as clod Energy Shield? Meaning it ignores resists and drains your mana bulb in seconds when hit with elements especially if you use Cloak of the Outcast.

And what is Harvest oskill? Building a whirler (btw say that word ten times out loud :D) and wondering if Jawbone Cap is worth making.

It's old Poison flash... pointless shit as proc on that helm as it barely hits anything and mae any noticable damage difference. I build starting proc-whirler now around TU war hammer (idea is to gather as much spell procs as possible, so there goes TU light plate, Plated belt, Great helm, Heavy gloves.. there are many options to built around, for example there's chance of poison procer around Zod-rw mace/hammer, then jawbone cap will be good but still i think Crown will outshine it due to aditional poison spd and poison skill duration) and honorific broad sword in offhand to allow whirlwind. Later on i'm planing to try phys WDM whirler and elemental with crafted crystal sword. Also may be interesting to try out

. First have funny spell procs and AoE while second have triple "shockwave" procs. Overall now it's alot-lot-lot more viable with removing stances from RMB and ife degeneration from BH (also ading IED to eagle opens up some ways)
