avenger synergy question:salvation vs resists

Hi all,

I'm currently building an avenger and only problem with my avenger build is which synergy to use

my 2 part question is
1) Does vengeance strike with 1 elemental type attack at the time or with all 3 per strike?
2) Is salvation a better base synergy then the resistances?
My reasoning was like this:

If vengeance strikes with one elemental type attack per strike then:
10% synergy bonus per elemental resistance equals 3,33% dmg per strike(or skill point)
and
every point in salvation which does a 2% dmg increase equals a 6% dmg increase per strike (or skill point).

So putting 20 points in salvation would not get you top damage as high as the individual elements but it will give you a higher average dmg output.

Is this correct?

Veng uses all 3 ele's each attack. i think individual resists are better to add to. each pt in an element res adds 10% while each salvation pt only adds 6% (actually 2% but there are 3 element).

Not to mention the ele res auras also give a passive bonus, by increasing your max res.

Yes, salvation doesn't help so much, but still, a synergy is a synergy. Therefore I recommend saving skill points at every oppurtunity. Lvl 1 holy shield at maximum, and maybe even getting a scepter with + to holy shield, vigor and redemption on switch just to skip the prereqs. Or being even more extreme and having a "phoenix" monarch together with a scepter that has holy shield, vigor and cleansing. that way you save 10 skill points, meaning 20% more damage for all elements, meaning +60% in total.

A phoenix monarch, why waste the points in str when it can be made in a pally shield? +Holyshield on a scepter is very rare these days and not worth the time to roll one.

Oh yeah, forgot the luxury of a paladin.

Well, can't you find one in the shop if you make a red portal next to akara or spawn the town exit near drognan and then shop for a hour or two?

Re: avenger synergy question:salvation vs resists

Just wanted to ask about the chances to get holy shield on a scepter but then I saw in another thread that BAMF already had given me an answer
