Thanks for sharing, i did go sorc for that very reason - but of course I sometime wonder a bit when I see and hear about warlock dmg 😅

Ok so this means it would be the same for Shako vs Hellwarden (or whatever +1 sk helm) with +10 magic dmg% guardians light then ? Since my Void is 10%.
But would a +5% magic dmg jool make up for the -1 skill ? Not counting the -magic res% of guardians light or hellwardens

Edit : basically I wonder how much +magic dmg% you need to make up for +1 sk.

I return to my initial statement, I lost my love for hdins long ago, so I did not care to compare all the possible setups with those new items.
But according to AltonBrown, maxroll's number should be fine.
So if you want to compare anything, just input your setup and see the dmg calc tab to see what is best for you

Will do

No, the numbers change as you stack more and more magic dmg%. You'd have to test with gheeds, sling, hellwardens vs 2/20, arach, soj. You also won't hit the same FCR bp without also swapping other gear around

It's always better if you have no other sources of magic dmg%. Even at level 23hammer (no other source of +sk), Void is 1.3% stronger than Hoto.


But if you had gheeds+hellwardens and no other +sk, then hoto is actually better than voids. (But in practice, this level of imbalance is impossible.)

Gheeds and Hellwardens are -enemy magic res tho, not +magic dmg. Or does it work the same in the end ?

how did warcry barb get buffed

Someone gimme an update on lightning fury amazon. Anything new? Heard theres a new pierce item? What is it lmk!

No, it's slight different. -enemy res is it's own multiplicative factor but kinda hard to judge since enemy magic resist is variable. (most value will be against magic immunes who get sundered) i.e. act 2 ressers
