"gain 200% of physical damage as elemental"

I suppose that this does not, as it may mean, improve your damage by a lot, but the damage TAKEN by a lot, true? (=more pain ) And if so, how exactly? Because this is something else as the "enemies will pierce your elemental resists", this is from Riftstone (9)?

enemies add elemental damage equal to 200% of their physical damage, don't know what else it could mean

metasequoia wrote:so magic resists. are they generally useful?

for a rare modifier i would think yes, but i don't even know which enemies do considerable amounts of magic damage. opinions?

not really

duncraig barrels, witch, laz

do you happen to know if the corrupted wearbear in scos does magic damage with the slap/ground spike attack? thanks!

(unsocketed), her physical resist drops down to 23%. I have no clue what can be causing that, any idea?

Had the same problem, and luckily found

Large Cycles give you always more on average. I prefer building several wormholes for the long term: one where I put somewhat helpful stuff and all kind of cycles and one where I put the really nice stuff. The latter I start using when it becomes better. And you can also consider MF Wormhole for Farming.
And for which cycles to use: Stats for your Attack (Dex?) or Life/Mana tend to be most helpful.

i cant kill ascendant riftwalker with elementol barb, dies after retaliete nova, barb has maxed defensive stats, 12500 hp, 7800 DEX, 50 PhysReduction, very nice gear (hellfire plate, nasrudin helm, dawn sword, ahriman belt, boots and gloves are nice dex craft, svallin shield. Also cant kill startled witch AKA Atanna Kan, the fight itself becomes harder compare to purify times. Main problem with that woman is her stationary witchis which spawns randomly in huge amount and they kill you with their wave or heals to FULL health main bitch. What should i do?

There is usually a spot in atanna's arena where there are less witches. Provoke her to jump on you there and stay close or lure her near the entrance. After rework it is harder indeed.

Why is everything in normal A1 so god damn beefy from the point where you reach the outer cloister, until you kill Andariel?

Whatdyall got for some interesting non-typical builds? Need something fun to renew my interest in the patch. Preferably something that could actually have potential. And even better if it's SSF possible. No need to be a fully vetted idea yet, I like doing the thinking part.

What are the best amazon build with Guard tower helm?

anyone happen to know how rare the emblems (emblem of hatred, etc.) for the book of cain are?

i have 80+ hours on one character this league and 20+ on another and i haven't got one, is this typical? want to make sure my filter is not busted or something.
