Hammerdin questions
Hi guys....how are you'll doing?
I'm making a return to this game after a long break away from it and have decided to build a hammerdin. Yes...I have been playing diablo II since it was released but I have never found myself to be knowledgeable in all information related to this game so please DO insult me if these questions sound noobish! :lol:
1) If I use an item with +2 to skills, will the increase in skill level on the synergies (in this case concentration, vigor and blessed aim) increase the damage on Bless Hammers? I know it does when we level up and add points to synergies till the max of 20 but I just want a confirmation that items with + X to skills does as well.
2) I heard there's a bug that ethereal unique armors (normal and exceptional) will still remain ethereal but will lose it's ethereal defence bonus when upgraded. Is this true? Does it affect just unique armors or rares as well? Are weapons spared from this bug?
3) I have read a few Hammerdin strategies...especially from our beloved Ragnarod and another by captain bogus....and found them extremely useful. But what I don't understand is why they recommend to put points into Holy Shield when one will always be using the concentration aura. Is the bonus to blocking and defence by HS a passive bonus (as in bonus without the HS aura active)?
4) This is non-paladin related but it just crossed my mind! I few patches back, I remember reading somewhere that the minions of a necro (aka skeletons, golems, revives) does not take the necro's MF into account when they do the final kill. Does it now? How bout the Valkyry (sp?)?
Thanks for the "upcoming answers" guys. :thumbsup:
