This doesn't actually contradict anything I said. I was just pointing out the existence of the bug. Not sure it's much of an increase in damage for innate elemental since windform barbs with spell damage are usually either proc or poison focused, but it's a thing. I guess Hammer of Jholm builds could use it?

And I don't care that much to speculate on what'll happen in 2.0 before we get patch notes; the team's shown they're willing to take advantage of existing d2 engine bugs like the PDR one that makes QT cheesable, so I couldn't tell you whether or not they're going to keep it.

I can't deal any damage to her and the fight might take 5-6 hours, then that is the problem!

How to dodge Athulua stun arrow? It is homing, so whenever I ran away, it is either she caught me and burst me out, or I ran too far away from her!

No way I know of to dodge it except to just get defense. IIRC you were playing a fire sorc? You should be able to make it work as fire/cold with the cold passive at the 25k defense cap, gear MO'd with TCD, and/or summoning ice elementals to distract her, but if all else fails a respec to lightning/cold gets you 200k+ defense and should make the fight pretty easy.

I don't think you can sell and buy back magic quivers, but why are you not using any of the zon bow skills anyway? Normal attack is the only thing that can run you out of ammo.

It says CARNAGE converts 30% physical damage to fire, so what if using CARNAGE with an elemental base weapon which has no physical damage but only IED? NO conversion or 30% IED converted to fire？

30% PHYSICAL damage to fire. Does that answer your question?

Thx. I just want to make sure if the so called "PHYSICAL damage" is just physical damage or weapon damage in fact, cuz there used to be no elemental base weapon some patches before and the description never changed. So I guess there might be a chance that what this so called "30% physical damage to fire" in the description really means is 30% weapon damage.
