couple of bvc qs

[clayton bigsby]

i dont understand how u get max resists with a bvc. using the universal bvc setup which is:

coa 30 resists
enigma 0
grief/beast 0
dracs 0
arach 0
2 ravens 0
highlords 35 light resist

about 60 from nat resist
about 35 from torch + anni
so total of about 125 all resists. 160 light. -100 from hell thing and u got about 25 all. with that little resistance a sorc using telekenis could kill u

secondly, ive heard something about the deadly strike from death cleaver doesnt stack. could sumone clarify it for me? thanx

u cant get it unless u use 3 res boots

u can compensate by using 5 fhr/5 res all , and 20/11 res scs

Resists usually come from:

Helm
Highlords
FCR rings
the 4x 5fhr/res SCs you should be carrying
Res boots
Nat res
Torch
Anni

CoA 30
Anni 20
Torch 20
FHR scs 20
Nat res 64
Highlord's + 35 light
triple resistances boots ~+46 to fire/cold/light

Totals at 235% Light (aka 60% stacked), 200% Fire and Cold (aka 25% stacked) and 154% Poison (aka 54% in Hell).

Now, let's see the weak areas:
Cold: The stack is not even needed, as cold sorcs will lower your resistances by ~265-300%, making it -100% or close.
Poison: Can easily be gotten off your rings via mods such as +15% all res. Two rings with such mods gets you at 184% resistances. Then there's always antidotes.

secondly, ive heard something about the deadly strike from death cleaver doesnt stack. could sumone clarify it for me? thanx

The deadly strike has no effect on anything else but Death Cleaver itself. It won't add any damage to your secondary weapon.

However yes, the deadly strike of Death Cleaver's is stacked upon for example Highlord's' when calculating Death Cleaver's final damage.

kiras guardien is what comes to mind.

[lendial]

its very posible to find a decent dual or tri resists rare boot 35-40 fire/cold/light is spawnable, you wont be using universal vs many elements because its suicide with 10-30 resists.
