Is there anywhere we can go to complain? Just spent two hours farming Terror Dunc for sacred nagi and the only nagi drop I see is a tier 6. Just wanted to rage.

just buy a set nagi .. its like 5 sig i think..

Not on TSW lol, in SP. If I was on TSW I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Spell damage boosts improve passive elemental damage on direct melee attacks. Minions also usually get your spell damage boosts right? Would a spell damage boost improve the poison damage of my hoplites? If so would my boost from solar flare/incarnation improve it as long as they live or just for the 5 seconds?

unless they are under the influence of an aoe damage boost spell (as Bloodlust /Gift of the wild) , no . your elemental damage boost from gear does not boost the minion spell damage , just yourse . also , hoplites do not benefit from incarnation , just from plague ; incarnation is only boosting fire/cold/magical/physical spells , poison is not included


for those hoplites to work fine it is required the usage of either colosseum or divine aparition to jump on top of a target ; you teleport your hoplites with you so they may focus their attacks on your opponent .

Is Damage Reduction % / DR still capped at 50%?

[ChuckNoRis]

50% only from one source; with more than one source , you can go higher (it has always been like that)

check this link to find out how that works : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=124&p=57066&hilit=damage+reduction+cap#p57066 . look on pages 543, 544 and 545 of this thread

it's the 3rd time this year i've posted that because people are keep asking about it and they dont use the search function

....this is the link from this tread 2 months ago with the same explanation -> viewtopic.php?f=5&t=124&p=45834&hilit=shadow+refuge#p45834 ....

[blue]have 2 months passed already since this was last asked ?[/blue]

% DR first, then flat DR, right?

So 1000 physical damage incoming -> 50% DR = 500 then 300 flat DR = 200 total damage? (if you did it the other way around, it would be 350 total incoming damage)

Still trying to make my Flamestrike / RoL paladin work.

[ChuckNoRis]

you are right. also , for a holy paladin it would be : colosseum (-25% enemy damage) -> 50% damage reduction -> flat damage reduction .

so for your 1000 incoming damage , you reduce your enemies damage by 25% with colosseum , you reduce the remaining 750 incoming damage by 50% , then you reduce the 375 (50% of 750 )damage with your flat damage reduction . if in your case that is 300 flat damage reduction , then you get 75 damage

Aura or item stat don't make a difference, because they both give the same stat. All this stuff about aura being applied first is nonsense.

[ChuckNoRis]

this stuff is nonsense.

not from what i've played and tested . the best way to test this is with an amazon that has 50% DR from gear and Spellblind . the damage you get with just using the gear is higher than with spellblind (stoned enemies) . or a necro with 50% dr from gear + the void archon warp aura field
