Any succubus skull works
It has qlvl 85, which allows it to roll +2 nec skills even if you drop it down to ilvl 1

You want to lower the ilvl to be able to have access to low tier staffmods.

Rerolling with pskulls is affecting the ilvl this way:
iLvl = floor(.4 * cLvl) + floor(.4 * iLvl)

You want to reroll on a clvl 1
This way, the formula becomes:
iLvl = floor(.4 * iLvl)

Say you start with an ilvl 96 succubus skull…
floor(.4 * 96)=38
Still too high
Then reroll again
floor(.4 * 38)=15
Now it can roll T1 staffmods, but you’ll have better chances after the 3rd reroll (and all other rerolls) since it will stay in the ilvl range of 1-11


Where do you find this deep game knowledge? Is there something like Jarlwulf's guide but for D2?

You can find a compilation of useful info in the link in my sig (I’ll rewrite a better version when I get time).
Websites like amazon basin are a great source of knowledge, but it can be hard to work your way through a bunch of scattered info.
I’m always willing to help, I have all dots connected, I can explain stuff, or just give a TL;DR answer if you don’t care about the mechanics behind it.

A bit off topic: Do you have a link for damage calculation? Particularly as it relates to: minus enemy lite resistance vs + Lite damage. I've always heard that - ELR is much superior. I got a low roll -6 ELR sunder and curious how it compares to say a perfect +15% Lite dmg. Basically, with the addition of Sunder charms, do the calculations become as simple as: EX: -2ELR = +5 Lite Dmg?

Really not as simple as such a linear formula.
Although small amounts of -ELR easily outweighs huge amount of +light%

And -ELR is mostly effective against immunes, which is what is slowing your clear speed.
In some situations, you could effectively obtain more dmg from +light%, but only against targets you already melt.

+light% isn’t much, cuz it’s added on top of your already high light mastery %. It’s not multiplicative, it’s additive.
If you go from +450% to +465%?
465/450=1.0333x more (3.33%)
On the other hand, your dmg increase from -ELR is much more effective.
Say you bring your target from 0res to -10, you gained the equivalent of 110/100=1.1x your dmg (10% more)
From -50res to -60?
160/150=1.0667x (or an effective 6.67% dmg increase)
From 95res to 85?
15/5=3x (300% increase!)

And +% does not affect static… -ELR does.

This is not exactly what you are looking for, but it could be an interesting read for you:
