okay question if i equip my foh+hammerdin's act3 merc with a sanctuary (giving him sanctuary aura), will the minus -magic resistance be applicable to the damage of everyone else attacking the enemy units effected by the aura? or just the merc?

edit: im a lil sleep deprived so i just realized the quote doesnt show what i want it to- when i move my curser over sanctuary in paladin skill tree is shows that sanctuary aura, among other things, gives "Enemy magic resistance minus X%" (X being 20 because i havent skill it)

Related question: Since A3 Mercs used Merc Freeze instead of the actual Holy Freeze aura, can you stack Merc Freeze & Holy Freeze?

While there's actually 3 different versions of holy freeze including merc freeze they all share the same state for what's given to the victim. As a result the different versions of holy freeze will never stack their slow on the target (it would be overpowered otherwise anyways to be hitting the enemy with over 85% slow)

if its in the same item then it adds up. If they are on diff items, it's treated as a seperate chance.

Ie.
50% on weapon
50% on armor

both have a 50% chance of proccing, so you could have both proc's occuring at the same time, only 1 of them or none of them.

If you added another 50% onto the weapon/armor, you wuld have a 100% chance of 1 occuring, and a 50% chance of a double proc

That isn't quite right Purerage... different items are not necessarily treated as a seperate chance.

All procs of the same skill at the same skill level have their chances stacked into one proc. Since stun facets always use lvl 40 stun you just simply sum up all the chances into one sum. If you use more than 10 stun facets it would result in over 100% chance to cast lvl 40 stun. Of course any chance above 100% just simply gets treated as 100%.



If you have procs of the same skill but differing skill levels they are all rolled individually at each trigger chance.

Theoretical Example: You have 50% CTC lvl 20 blizzard when struck and 50% CYC lvl 25 blizzard when struck. Whenever you get hit with a hit that can trigger when struck there's 4 possibilities. Neither proc triggers (25%), lvl 20 blizzard triggers (25%), lvl 25 blizzard blizzard triggers (25%), both blizzards trigger simultaneously in seemingly a single blizzard resulting in the when struck target taking damage from both the lvl 20 and lvl 25 blizzards (25%).

Hmm, my sp tester with 100%ctc lvl 1 fireball on strike boots + 100% ctc lvl 1 fireball gloves produces 2 fireballs. (dealing twice as much damage per impact)

Second Sp char with 50% ctc lvl 1 stun on strike weap, + 50% ctc lvl 1 stun on strike armor produces no crash
100% ctc stun on strike on weapon produces crash (because 100% ctc on strike stun creates a crash like old gris caddy).

Not sure what to make of the results of that 2nd paragraph. First paragraph, however, busts what was circulating on the MXL forums since when the thorn jewelword had a rediculous amount of CTC arrow on striking and it was discovered that having over 100% CTC on striking was brutally powerful.

There was a problem a while ago (1.21 before "z") whare gris caddy had 100% ctc on strike. Everyone who used that weapon dropped the game instantly. I think ranged skills are treated differently so 100% on strike works there (because it takes time for the missile to hit the target possibly).

Doing some testing with novas on striking (and other skills with nexthit set). 2 sources of 100% ctc produce the same damage as 1 source. The nexthit is preventing both from occuring it looks like.

Actually more than 100% on strike could still create infinite expanding missile chains on MXL (it's just without a shield aura present enemies would simply croak before the missile load built up too high).

No surprise on the 2nd paragraph though. Just next delay working as it should.
