Hi.
1. Does "y damage to demons/undead" work against bosses?
2. Docs say "x on kill" is only triggered by poison dmg. I dont have any poison but x still triggered. What happen?

Does life on attack work with shunpo and/or pounce?

1.) its bonus %EWD against those specific monster types, so if the boss lists that as a monster type below his name, yes.
2.) poison and weapon damage.

How to kill Astrogha? I'm playing a unholy caster paldin using Stormfront. I can't catch his move since he teleports after I hit him. The statues are also annoying because I always miskill them. Finally, does the spider has a one-shot kill skill? Every time I die a sudden death.

Which one is better for a lightning cold build?

Ashera's or Nors?

asheara's imo . much lower str. needed to equip + 10%DR

Kill all his minions when one of his attacks summon a massive swarm of them? And he seems to oneshot my minions so I can hardly use them to keep him in the circle unless I spend all my time resummoning them. Also, I'm using a

crossbow and only got around to putting 13 points in widowmaker, so my damage output is... mediocre.

I dont remember him having any 'attack' that summons. He does occasionally summon his minions but that's not too often. If u have enough kill speed to kill one pack just by holding down ur mouse then this doesnt matter. However as u doesnt seem to do u can still do it slowly. U can easily get out of his sight and still draw his minions, do that, stay in a corner and use ur summons to lure his until u kill all or most of them then resummon all and RUN in to the circle, use blink/bend the shadow to drag him along. He would then summon. U need to manage so that he will enter the circle b4 his minions. Once u r both inside, use DEATHSHARDS or FRAGMENTAL SHOT to hit him. Ur summons would die in a few sec, dont resummon them just keep ur right mouse until u die. Repeat until u kill him. I killed him with my xbow nec using this strategy (full TU), gonna take some time but... the weaks cannot choose their way to die.

Never bother his statues. Ppl only attemp to kill him once they are strong enough to ignore his summons, which is not too hard. If u play a caster with AOE skill then u should also follow this. Just find the boss and nuke him until u get swarmed, clear everything then find the boss again. The darklings are very weak, u can kill them easily without letting them touch u so u dont need to worry about the statues' curse since it doesnt slow ur cast rate. Just dont get too close, the boss has frozen orb. If u find it hard to clear the creeps and thus are having problems dealing with curse then try to become stronger 1st.

The darklings do have a low chance to cast 'deathstrike' on death. It is an old nec skill that drop a black ray on ur head and hit very hard but not guaranteed oneshot iirc. Idk about u but when I was doing him the proc almost never shows up visually, maybe because I use direct 3d instead of glide so sometimes it felt like I just died there for no reasons. Obviously if u want to avoid this just keep moving. Paladin has divine apparition so this is an easy task.

Sorceress sword minions say they benefit from all passives but I had heard that was not the case. I believe living flame was omitted from that list. Is that the case? Which ones do and do not? Any plans to clarify this on their tooltip in the future?
