Yet more trap questions (noobish)

Again I am total a total nooblit with trappers.

You must me these questions three. LOL

Question the first!

My Light Sentry does 2000+, is that PER shot or is that in total over ten shots?

Question the second!

Do Light Immune creatures have a LI of 100% or is it more?

Question the third!

What is your favorite color? J/K

What is the highest level Lower Resist (charges) you can get on a wand?


Observations and assumptions:

Infinity gives Level 12 Conviction Aura to my Merc= -57% Rez all, so I figure that with at least a Lvl 4 LR wand=44% that would be 101% and would be enough to just break the Immunity (assuming it works that way).

IF you can't get LR lvl 4 on a wand that would mean that you could give your Merc(act 2) -5% Light Facets, but even using 7 Light Facets would be enough. That would only=-35%, that is just not enough and would be a big waste of Facets.

I just want a more effective way of dealin with Light Immunes instead of prayin Merc will kill em and use my Fire Blast and hope it hits them.

True the Conviction from the Infinity will help out Fire Blast do a better job
BUT have you ever tried to kill a Burning Soul or lesser class of gloam by lobbing a little bomb at them and pumpin pots into your merc!

**Bonus Question, Extra Credit kiddies!!!

Will light skillers boost my trap damage?

That damage is done per shot.

Facets on your merc will only help his own lightning damage, not your own. The Conviction aura from Infinity will help though.

Lightning GCs (Sorceress only) will not help your trap damage. However, Trap GCs (Asn only) will.

More things:

Braking immunities works differently.

If something is not immune, it works at full strength. Example: monster has light resist of 80%, infinity takes down 60%. The monster has now 20% light res.

If something is immune, the aura/curse will work only at 1/5 strength. 60% becomes 12%. If a monster has 111% resist (immune), it is taken down to 99% and can be damaged by that element or have it further reduced by items/facets/coldmastery.

But.. Facets do not work with traps, although the display may say otherwise.

Your best bet is still infinity.

Level 3 is the maximum, and it's extremely rare. Level 2 is pretty easy to find though.

LIs range up to 130, but most are 120 or less. Naturally, LE monsters can go much higher than that.

Lower Resists and Conviction work at 1/5 effectiveness on immunes as explained above. The -resist mod on items does nothing to immunes, though they'll work at normal effectiveness once an immunity is broken. Somewhat academic, since they have zero effect on Sentry damage anyway, limiting their usefulness to Fire Blast and Shock Web.

Favorite color: black.
