I was referring to physical damage reduction which I had failed to mention originally and its not full time. Fully buffed with (3)endurance charges, fortify(which im not sure if it effects the paper damage reduction) and granite flask up i hit somewhere around 25k armour at level 65 which nets me 90% damage reduction. My original question was because I had taken iron reflexes to use with a jade flask which puts me above 50k armour but still 90% damage reduction. Having noticed i am hitting 90% without the jade/iron reflex combination I was wondering if it was pointless and if I could remove 3 points and spend elsewhere.

Hey, Just wanted to ask what gems and things I needed. If anyone could list the gems so I can begin to level them, then that would be great, thanks.	Posted by GGZII on Dec 16, 2015, 12:31:33 PM Quote this Post

Hey, got 3 more questions:) : 1. Is 5th link fire damage better than faster attacks? 2. is it worth master crafting weapon elemental dmg on belt? 3. what stats do you recommend for jewels besided increased % damage and increased % life ?

But in your original post, you wrote this: "1: Cyclone, Melee Physical Damage, Fortify, Blood Magic, Added Fire Damage (5-link), Faster Attacks/LGoH (6-link)" and Added Fire Damage is listed as 5th gem for a 5-link. I'm confused... :/	Posted by anvilgod on Dec 18, 2015, 7:24:39 PM Quote this Post
