Quote:I was looking around at skills, and noticed that maxed Conviction gives like -120 all resists. Can this break immunities?
It can break immunities, sometimes. It only reduces resistance at 1/5 the listed amount against immunes. So that -120% would really just reduce resistances by 24%. A perfect -150% conviction (slvl 25+) will reduce immune resistances by 30%.
Quote:Looking at Avenger guides, I saw that they were built two different ways. One build maxed vengeance, and put remaining points into synergies. Another build put one point in vengeance, and then maxed synergies. Which build is better in your guys' opinion?
Points in vengeance give more damage than points in the synergies, in addition to increasing your AR (not that you really need it with conviction...). However, it also increases the mana cost. If you can leech enough to support it, points in vengeance are thus better. If you have mana problems, such as when fighting PIs or unleechable monsters, points in synergy are better.
Quote:One last thing; is it better to max out the vengeance synergy that gives a 2% bonus to all elemental damage (or something I forget), or alternate points between Resist coldghtning/fire?
Simple math:
3 points in Salvation: +6% fire, +6% lightning, +6% cold
1 point each in single resist auras: +10% fire, +10% lightning, +10% cold
In addition, every 2 base points in a single resist aura gives +1% max resistance of that element.
You should thus not invest any points in salvation unless you already have the single-resist auras or you actually want to use salvation as aura.
