Re: The Questions Thread

Hello. I have some questions again.

What does MDR work on? How much would you need for it to have any kind of noticeable effect in PvM?
 
Re: The Questions Thread

MDR works on all non-physical forms of attack, and after resistances (IIRC) So if yoy have high resists, then you wouldn't need as much as you might think (NB: I don't actually know for sure how much might be needed to, say, negate a Gloam Lightning Bolt, but after resists is shouldn't be too much)

It reduce fire/cold/lightning/magic damages by the set number. IIRC, it applies before resist.

Unless you play energy shield sorc, just forget it. You will never get enough to make difference. ES sorc however, loves it since ES apply first, which already reduced 95% damages.
 
Re: The Questions Thread

ok, i got one:

I wanna poke a hole in a etheral crown of thieves that my merc uses. Not sure what will work better in it: Jewel of fervor or Ruby one?
Will 15% attack speed help? I`ve looked a bit breakpoints, but didn`t get that much :dunce:

Anyway, he uses Insight in etheral Tresher (fast attack speed) & Duriels shell, so will jewel of fervor help or not?



edit: looked at that calculator, and still am not sure what to do: it says 1.56 attack per second with IAS=0, or 1,76 with IAS=13. Looks like that ruby jewel with be more usefull unless I have 39 IAS breakpoint :scratch:
Thanx Antonio :smiley:

Haven't found it yet in any of the Assassin FAQs...

How does critical/deadly strike work with charges of Tiger Strike? Do they stack? Which one applies first? (I know critical and deadly won't stack, but I have sources of both anyway)

TS is simply off-weapon %ED, which is applied before checking for critical hits.

Stupid Question Time, maybe....
Can you get Green 'set' items from gambling?
If yes, where is best, specifically, Guillames Face, Winged Helm.

Re: The Questions Thread

I want to find a list of the runewords in 1.10s beta. I've been looking around and can't find it. Has this (and maybe for other old versions too) been compiled somewhere convenient? Thanks.

Yes, you can gamble and set items, though the odds are horrible (iirc 1:250)

Gambling is based purely on your character level, so there is no best place (unless you're superstitious) iirc the ilvl is -5 to +4 of your character level.

This next bit is a bit of guesswork, as I don't understand ilvl and qlvl:

G Face is ilvl 51, so your best chance is to gamble with a lvl 51

Someone more knowledgable enlighten us

@Fabian: if you go to the IRC channel they have a lot of links/info gathered there

EDIT:
Noobiecakes: a bearsin can get a 2fpa attack apparently, also iirc, smite is a 2 frame attack with holy shield activated. Zealots aim for 4fpa iirc

@Cygnus: I thought gambing uniques was 1:1000

Re: The Questions Thread

what is the fastest possible attack speed in fpa? is it possible to reach 1 or 2 fpa? or is 5 about as fast as you can achieve? and with what character could you achieve such speed? Assassin i assume?

Yes, you can. But getting a G-Face is quite low.

Chance of a gambled item being green is 1 in 1000. But you also need the exceptional upgrade which tops out at about 15% for a high level character gambling in hell. All in all, that's about 6-7000 Great Helms that you need to gamble. That takes a *lot* of cash. Try running Meph instead :tongue:

EDIT: Gambling in nightmare might work too. Lower probability of exceptional upgrade, but cheaper to gamble each helm. But I still like the Meph idea better ;)

EDIT2: Jeez, you guys are too fast for me. Strafe can hit 3 fpa as well



 
Re: The Questions Thread

IIRC:
Paladin Zeal at 4FPA and fireclaws bear at 4FPA.
Assassin can reach 3FPA for Dragon Talon follow up kicks and in bear form.
Whirlwind at 2 frames per hit (Assassin or Barb).
 
Re: The Questions Thread

remember that multi-attack skills(like zeal,fury,fend) generally have sequences like:
4/4/4/4/7 (the fastest zeal, 5 attacks)
where each number is a number of frames each attack takes.
OTH single attacks (like the bear's fireclaw for example) 4 frame attack is just a straight 4 frames per attack
4/4/4/4/4/4...
so it's a little bit faster.

Amazons jab can make 3 attacks in 11 frames IIRC, so it's even faster then 4 frames per attack.
 
Re: The Questions Thread

I found a low quality 0os Monarch.
A recipe found at arreat summit:

1 El Rune + 1 Chipped Gem + Low Quality Armor = Normal Quality Armor of same type

So, I could make a standard quality Monarch out of it. But the corresponding low->standard recipe for weapons said it sets the ilvl to 1. Does it do the same for armor? Because then it would be a useless Monarch that couldn't carry 4 sockets, right?
