To cap at 75%. I play on p8 and vs heralds often. The survivability helps with clear speed, because dying slows you down a lot.

I hit 125% FCR BP on switch with Void and ars mephisto, so I don't need it on the gloves

Ya you also have 7000 hp from a bo barb and an enchant sorc for exploding arrows

But yea it’s true, if you only play 1 license, even then resists don’t matter too much. But mist is the best bow for damage even when not factoring resists.

Can get 12k magic damage, max resist, 275 mf, 4300 hp, and 75 fcr with mist/gheeds/maras/sling/opal/magefist without a prebuff on hex bane. It still shreds p8 and you can even run 3 defilers with 100% peirce and melt everything

Ty!

In my current gears, I need 94IAS with lvl 1 Fanat (Mania on a5 Merc) for 11FPA. And it's easy for me, Hellwarden, Treachery and Horazon Gloves + Boots. Then I can sock 2x 40ED jewel in WWS. (I'd go with Holy Freeze Demon for safety as I'm on HC ladder.)

Seems pretty nice! But there is one thing I'm concerned:



I feel the same, its hitbox is bigger than normal bolts/arrows. And this is one of the reasons that I prefer Demon Machine to Buriza-do.

I hope Magic Arrows' "hitbox" is larget than normal bolts/arrows.

I really appreciate your post!

I'm currently using the Demon Machine, but I'm planning to challenge the Ubers.

But I've noticed that all six Ubers have 75% magic resistance.

Physical resistance is much lower: 66% is the highest, from Lilith, and 20% is the lowest, from Uber Meph.

So, when it comes to Ubers, I guess Buriza-do is the best among Demon Machine, WWS and Buriza-do.

And I hesitate to upgrade Buriza-do, as it requires 50 more points, which means I'll lose 100 (BO'able) life.

I did it with a maxed out Mist here:

Buriza or WW would do it quickest though because of the added physical damage. This was just a test to see how little gear I needed to change to do the ubers with my mistlock.

Sweet
On the double dipping, how did you confirm this?

Earlier in this topic, someone has posted that it does and he was able to confirm it. So I did my own test and made a hero edited item with +100%magic skill damage. I tested it when hex:bane was casted without it on, and I killed p8 Diablo nearly twice as fast with the +100% magic skill damage weapon, as opposed to the same weapon without that modifier.

Does it not show up on the character sheet?

It does show up

Yea, so it's looking like entropy locket + soj is about 500 more magic damage than maras + opalvien I guess? Just testing on single player. Thought it would be more but I guess that actually sounds about right
