Diablo II Trivia - R1


Rules
  1. Answers should be sent to me in one PM entitled 'Diablo II Trivia'.
    If necessary, you may correct your answers once within the deadline. The last PM received is the one that counts.
  2. No discussion of either question and no posts containing answers until the deadline is reached. If something appears unclear, send me a PM.
  3. The correct answers and the name(s) of the winner(s) will be announced in this thread afterwards.
  4. All n questions have equal weight (Prize/n).
    If nobody managed to answer all questions correctly, the winner is whoever had the most correct answers.
  5. In the case of a tie, the prize (modified according to d) will be evenly split (rounded down to .01 accuracy).
  6. Deadline is 24 hours since this post.

Questions
  1. For the Paladin, list the top 5 shields in terms of chance to block. Include the values (%, as calculated, not as displayed).
    Beware: this refers to ANY shield. You should not include the bonus from the Paladin Holy Shield skill.
  2. Using only legitimate equipment, an Act 3 mercenary (Ironwolf) may improve his casting speed to 10 frames per cast. True (T) or False (F)?
    Explain.
  3. Which parts of Cow King's Leathers (if any) may drop in the Secret Cow Level already in Normal difficulty (Expansion)?
    Hint: Treasure Classes. Explain.
  4. Given 70 skill points to distribute between Fire Bolt, Fire Ball, Meteor (prerequisites have been taken care of) and Fire Mastery,
    which allocation produces maximum Fire Ball damage? No skill or Fire Skill Damage bonuses whatsoever.
    Why is this usually not a clever way of allocating points when equipment is included?
  5. There are 7 unique items that proc a spell whose level (lvl) may be calculated from ilvl as follows,

    lvl = max(1,min(20,[(ilvl - reqlvl)/4] + 1))

    where 'reqlvl' is the level requirement of the skill (the level at which you could first put points in it).

    Note
      [x] = largest integer <= x (Floor function)
      min(x,y) = x if x <= y, min(x,y) = y if x > y
      max(x,y) = y if x <= y, max(x,y) = x if x > y

    Based on this, which monster(s) could drop a Lightsabre Phase Blade with the highest level of Chain Lightning - and what is the max lvl?

Prize = 50.00 FG.

I have a question to clarify #1, do you mean the actual % of block the shields give? Not including anything else? Also does this include class bonus's?

As said, ANY shield (obviously not Voodoo Heads, as they are irrelevant to Paladins). Yes, this includes any and all possible modifiers as well.

Only Holy Shield and the remaining equipment should be ignored.

See #2394.

Class bonus is simple, as this concerns only the Paladin.

I'm guessing paladin class bonus counts in "any and all possible modifiers as well." then. I will get right on this in a bit =D

A shield's ctb always includes the class bonus (BlockFactor in CharStats.txt).

Just to clarify, none of the questions require using the files.

This is hard man, when I first read Diablo 2 Trivia, I thought it'd be questions like

What character class has to Penetrate and stuff >.>
