question about fade

[combatman]

I am wondering how does the hidden dmg red bonus works.
Every point u put in fade gives u 1% dmg red. So if i put only 1 point in it and if i use +10 skillers will this give me 1% dmg red or 11%?

So basically what i want to know is if my + skill points afflict the hidden dmg red bonus?

I was always under the impression that +skills affected the DR bonus. Could you provide a source for this?

The Arreat Summit (http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/skills/assassin-shadow.shtml) doesn't directly say whether +skills have an effect, but the line "It is capped at 50%" suggests that the DR bonus can go beyond 20%.

Voide's guide (http://strategy.diabloii.net/news.php?id=552) also says +skills increase the Fade bonus. (under the section: Why Max Fade?)

Eclipsedk's guide (http://strategy.diabloii.net/news.php?id=545&page=3#13.2.%20Claw/claw%20resistances%20with%20low%20level%20fade) assumes +skills increase the DR bonus, in the example of section 13.2.

I've always assumed that the DR bonus was based on casting level. It is part of the skill itself, and not a synergy.

Yes, Ilkori is right, the DR is a part of the skill, so if you have level 30 fade, you'll get 30 DR. It's like saying if you use Fanatacism with skill charms, you only get the IAS for the skill point level.

So u are saying that fade have to be active to work in dmg reduction?, i think i heard that was a passive hidden bonus, and i am 90% sure about that

[ilkori]

I haven't looked into it, but I would assume that the bonus is along with the resists when the skill is active. This isn't a Paladin resist aura.

It wouldn't be difficult to do testing on this, to be completely honest. Anyone have a buddy to try this with?
