I'd also like to know the answer to this question...as I've only just started my vengance pally build on the HC 1.10 ladder...
From the newly updated Arreat Summit skill page:
Every skill pt added to vengance, adds an extra 6% to the "Elem Damage +%"
and every skill point added to a vengance synergy...
Vengeance Receives Bonuses From
Resist Fire: +10% Elemental Damage Per Level
Resist Cold: +10% Elemental Damage Per Level
Resist Lightning: +10% Elemental Damage Per Level
Salvation: +2% Elemental Damage Per Level
Just from reading that, I would guess that each point in a Resist XXXX skill, would add 10% to the total vengance elemental damage mod....
so, if you have skill lvl 1 vengance, and skill lvl 1 resist fire....
a vengnace attack would add 80% fire, 80% cold, and 80% lightning damage to your attack.
If instead, the synergies were written like this:
Vengeance Receives Bonuses From
Resist Fire: +10% Fire Damage Per Level
Resist Cold: +10% Cold Damage Per Level
Resist Lightning: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
Salvation: +2% Elemental Damage Per Level
Then a vengance attack would add 80% fire, 70% cold, and 70% lightning damage to your attack.
I HOPE it is the former case rather than the latter....
If you look at the #s though...it looks like investing in the cold, fire and lightning resists (skills which were almost always completely skipped before) is much much better than investing in salvation, or even in vengance itself (so long as you can solve the AR problem w/ conviction or other means)....
#s summary:
Former assumption - Resist C/F/L: 1 skill point yields +10% to F/C/L, for a total of +30%
Latter assumption - Resist C/F/L: 1 skill point yields +10% to either F, C, or L, for a total of +10%
Salvation: 1 skill point yields +2% to F/C/L, for a total of +6%
Vengance: 1 skill point yields +6% to F/C/L, for a total of +18%
Anyways...my pals only lvl 15 ATM...if we don't get any answers soon, I'll be able to test this once I get vengance...since i've already put 1 point in each of the 1 res skills...
