Re: Ask the Experts
I think you have it flipped. Against PI, you want to Lower Resist and use Hydra to take them down. Trying to Amp (which will be at 1/5th effectiveness) and rely on golems is going to be much much slower.
Same with FI, use Amp and let the merc and minions kill it. Even with broken immunity, Lower Resist and Hydra are most likely going to be much slower.
For general use, I would probably choose Lower Resist. This is without looking at any numbers or trying the build itself, so I could be very wrong. My impression though, is that spammed Hydras will spit out a lot of bolts, while the golems have pretty slow swing speeds. Unless the Hydra damage is rather pitiful compared to the golems, I would go with LR.

Re: Ask the Experts
Question: When fighting element Immunes if you have an item equiped that lowers their Resistance like Rumour of Pain, if you would break their resitance wearing the item would it show when reading their abilities as gone or would the damage just go through without you knowing?
Re: Ask the Experts
-% enemy resist item mods like on the Rumor of Pain cannot break immunities. You have to rely on other sources such as Lower Resist or Conviction. Once those are able to break the immunity, then Rumor of Pain will work and lower the resists further. If the monsters have immunity, Rumor of Pain has no effect.
Monsters with broken immunities will have the Immune tag removed from under their name so you will know.

I would suggest staying with Lower Resist. I would suggest maxing Vampires as they are a synergy of Hydras. Hydras should do more damage than golems.

Re: Ask the Experts
It might be time to upgrade to the new version which is at the database in my sig. because tracking down a version that old may prove very difficult.

I guess that depends on your definition of better. On a serious note, I dout you can even get this version unless tsuru or someone has it archived somewhere, which I doubt.

Re: Ask the Experts
I am confused about how to spawn the Diablo Clone.
The ES wiki says that you sell a Devil's Food, which you make by cubing unique rings/amulets with rerolling orb.
But none of my unique rings or amulets will go into the rerolling orb (nor rares, only magic).
So, what do you suppose I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
U.

Re: Ask the Experts
The following is copied from the ES Wiki:
You can make a Devil's Food from 6 Devil's Food points stored in Rerollng Orb.
Level 10 Unique Ring/Amulet: 1 Devil's Food point
Level 20 Unique Ring/Amulet: 2 Devil's Food points
Level 30 Unique Ring/Amulet: 3 Devil's Food points
Level 40 Unique Ring/Amulet: 4 Devil's Food points
Level 50 Unique Ring/Amulet: 5 Devil's Food points
Level 60 Unique Ring/Amulet: 6 Devil's Food points
Level 75 Unique Ring/Amulet: 7 Devil's Food points
Level 45 Class Unique Ring/Amulet: 3 Devil's Food points
Level 60 Class Unique Ring/Amulet: 5 Devil's Food points
Level 75 Class Unique Ring/Amulet: 7 Devil's Food points
From what you said, I can only guess that you haven't rerolled enough
rings/amulets to get a Devil's Food.
Good Luck.

I believe ignore target defense does not work on unique bosses and champions.

@EstrogenPills:
1) Rerolling charms: http://homepage3.nifty.com/miyoshino/es/es3top.htm then click on recipies at the top then on charms.
2) Dead Baby? My only thought is you mean the Odd charm, which is lick other charms just much larger.

The unique version can drop. The normal version can be crafted. Check the link I sent you to before.

Re: Ask the Experts
That has been discussed several times before.
If a monster is not immune, then Convicion works normally.
e.g. 99% Cold Resist and -74% F/C/L resist from conviction, then the monster will have 99 - 74 = 25% cold resist.
If the monster IS immune, then Conviction works only at 1/5 efficiency.
e.g. 101% Cold Resist and -74% F/C/L resist from conviction, then the monster will have 101 - 74/5 = 87% cold resist. (could also be 86%, I'm not sure if it is rounded up or down).
So with -74% the max immunity that you can break is 113%.
If you use both Conviction and Lower Resist, they are added together first. This means that even if one of them alone (e.g. with the monster with 101% Cold Resist) would be enough to break the immunity, they are both reduced to 1/5 efficiency.
-x% to enemy Cold Resist (a mod that can be found on items and a few skills like the Sorc shields in ES or LoD Cold Mastery) can't break immunities. But if the immunity is broken with Conviction, then these work at full efficiency.

Thx for quick and comprehensive response, Nameless , I forgot about "search" option ,sorry I got pure cold sorc(lvl 88) on hell in act V (10k from FO and about 39k from Blizzard). She got mid-lvl stuff with important mods like -61% to enemy cold res. I dont have so much +all skills stuff to make conviction more efficient. Fortunately my merc (def.barb) is able to deal with CI monsters.

Re: Ask the Experts
I was wondering about the item reroll recipes:
From my WB2 sorc I had a base-upgraded Drizzt Mithrill (to a Sylvan Chain). Because it was dstoned with a useless stat (+Energy), I tried to use the unique reroll recipes. But neither the recipe for Exceptional items nor the recipe for Elite items worked. Does anyone know if one (which) of these recipes should have worked? If it had worked, would I have gotten the Drizzt or the Sylvasia item?
A similar question for the base item change recipes (scret scrolls #31-36). Do the reroll recipes work on such an item? Do I get the unique of the original base item or the unique of the new base item?
