Quote:Question 1: I'm a Paladin using Vengeance, I have a Jewel socketed in my Helm that grants +60% damage. Will the elemental damage of Vengeance increace while wearing the helm or will it just calculate my base damage for the Vengeance mod and then add on the +60% as physical afterwords?
It will only increase the physical portion. Course, jewels only go up to 40% ED, but you could have more than one jewel totaling up to 60% or more. Any Off-weapon ED% will only increase the physical part of vengeance.
Quote:Question 2: On the Arreat Summit site all of the unique shields feature Chance to Block percentages that are not consitant with their non-magic counterparts. This is a problem to me because I'm tryings to calculate the minimum amount of DEX needed for my Paladin to achieve 75% Block at level 99 with Herald of Zakarum. The formula says to add all of the ICtB % from all your items... the thing is the Herald of Zakarum is 82% chance to Block with ICtB of 30%. Is the 30% already added to the shield CtB or is it really 82% with and added 30%? I hope someone out there understands what I'm asking.
The extra 30% is already counted in the total of 82%. Any extra ICtB, such as Holy Sheild or granted by few items, must be added.

I'll leave this to someone with more time.
