Summon Resist, Revives and Uber Memphisto

[batuchka]

Ok i have done a bit of testing on Ubers with a summoner necro and after searching i still have not found the answers to these niggling questions i have. These questions specifically zoom in on summon resists, monster's inherent resists and the effects of Uber Memphisto's conviction aura. I have found Maulers, those cousins of Urdars found mostly in Durance levels seem to survive better/longer when smacking Uber Memphisto. For simplicity's sake i did not use CTA+Spirit to BO w/e revives i used. My specific questions are:

1) Like Urdars do these boys have crushing blow as well?

2) According to AS, Maulers have 100% lightning resists and hence are immune to it. When revived do the effects of inherent resists stack with w/e lvl summon resist the summoner has?

3) IIRC Uber Memphisto has slvl 20 conviction which means -125% resist all cept poison. This works at 1/5th effectiveness when trying to break immunity right? Just like for a player?

Thanks in advance to anyone who could enlighten me :thumbsup:

1) Like Urdars do these boys have crushing blow as well? I really don't know... I'd say they do, but people always talk about Urdars specifically...

2) According to AS, Maulers have 100% lightning resists and hence are immune to it. When revived do the effects of inherent resists stack with w/e lvl summon resist the summoner has? I don't know, but try highlighting the revived Mauler with the Unsummon skill and see if their is 'Lightning Immune' below it's health bar.

3) IIRC Uber Memphisto has slvl 20 conviction which means -125% resist all cept poison. This works at 1/5th effectiveness when trying to break immunity right? Just like for a player? I saw someone post a few weeks back that the 1/5th effectiveness doesn't apply to minions.

1) I beleive all monsters in the same family share similar traits, so yes, i think they do have cb.

2) immunity and summon resists do stack last time i checked

3)that doesnt apply for summons

[bogie]

1) Yes they have CB%, I use them almost exclusively for Ubers (easier to find) with my merc dead...testing it on bosses, I not only saw large drops in health but also the crushing blow graphic above the bosses, with only the maulers there to supply it...

2) Yup they stack

3) I dont think it applies to minions, so your summons should have 35-40 resist ligthning after mephs conviction gets through with it.

Haha thanks a lot guys ^^ Pity minions suffer worse when under conviction aura :( But still tests done have shown that those Maulers make pretty awesome anti Uber Memp revives :P One of these days i want to test if summoner necro could 'warm up' uber game cowing and try taking down ubers with hell cows hehe
