Amp Damage

''Hiya

Does amp dmg break all pi? Need to know to so I can decide whether or not to max a golem or skellie mage.

No, amp damage does not break all PI's. As far as I know though, it works on any non champion/boss creatures.

If a monster has 119% or less physical resistance, Amplify Damage will break it. I don't know if there are any normal monsters that spawn with that much physical resistance, but bosses with the "Stone Skin" modifier can easily get over 120%.

None that I've ever seen. I use a Straferzon with Atma's, and it breaks 100% of the non-unique PIs I come across, as well as about 50% of the unique PIs.

And it's worth noting that with a Necro (or any other char that has CE from an item), Corpse Explosion will deal 50% Physical and 50% Fire damage - meaning that you've got a built-in solution for dealing with these buggers, even when Amp won't break their immunity. Not to mention, uniques provide their own destruction when you kill their pack out from around them. Explodeexplodexplodea'splodeexplode. :grin:

Ah good point,

forgot CE had 50%.

Now which golem to max??????? I think iron made from some decentish unique. I play on SP so need to look thru stash.

Thanks guys

Why not just max mastery?

[Mad Mantis]

Indeed. Maxing a Golem doesn't have that much effect on their stats. Much more life will be gained by maxing Mastery.
