Quote:6) Crushing blow takes of 25% of a monsters remaining hit points, and physical resists effect it, so you can't use it on physical immunes. Deadly Strike is the chance to double your damage. It is the same as critical strike. If your deadly strike works, critical strike cannot, and vice versa. If you have a 50% chance of deadly strike, and a 50% critical strike, It would check one of them, and if it doesn't work, it checks the other, giving you a 75% chance of doing double damage.
Note that, in 1.09, the mastery bug means you always have 100% critical strike if you have a point in the mastery, in which case deadly strike is completely irrelevant.
Quote:7/8) Jah doesn't work on Bosses, super uniques, uniques, or champions/possessed/ect. Also, on normal monsters, you still have to take into account their level vs. your level, which is usually more important, anyway. In the current version (1.09) the "Eth" rune is bugged in that makes it so their defense is negative, works on bosses/champions/ect. causing you to hit 95% (max) of the time. It will (hopefully) be fixed when 1.10 comes around. And, yes, you would have 100% chance (unless there is a cap I don't know about).
While the Eth bug does make the defense negative, there's a sanity check for this. If defense is negative, it's instead set to zero, and the difference is added to the AR. Thus spoke Ruvanal. So it'd really only be the same as ITD, except that it works on everyone. It is fixed for the beta.
