Topic: best way to reduce armor

[fonzaxe]

-can someone give a tip about the best ways to reduce armor from enemies??  there is a runeword with that gives Conviction aura, that reduce armor for a % , does that stack with JAH (- Ignore Target's Defense)? what would it do?  or will it only work with eth - 25% Targets Defense? any tips guys?  
- if i have a helmet that says - 100% enemies cold resist, this mean i will do more 100% damage with ice skills? do i get any benefict by putting this items on the MERC like MF ?
- does it worth have 2 fanatism auras ?? "faith" ( fanatism) + merc ( fanatism ) with a " Infinity" Conviction ?

- best way to reduce enemy armor should be ignore def or conviction, but stating DEX also helps

- when an item has -100%cold resist of enemies, it reduces the enemy resist against cold damage by 100%. That does not mean that you do 100% more damge, if the enemy has 50% resist, you are making 200% more damage, if he has 90% resist you are making 900% more damage, if he has -50% there wont be a big difference in damage. It depends on how much resist the enemy has. "reduces enemy resistance" only works in the person who wears the items, its useless on merc or from other players, and it does NOT break imunities of the enemy. If the enemy is still imun after being hit b conviction or Curse, he will remain immun

- 2 fana auras are also useless, only the last aktivated fana aura works. If you are wearing 2 items with fana on the same char the lvl will be added, if you are wearing an item with fana and use the skill fanatism the lvl is not added.

-and the effect of infinity is around 30% so not realy stunning

Another way to reduce enemy armor or increase your cth is to decrease the lvl difference (if enemy has a higher lvl) or increase the difference (if you have a higher lvl).
In other words, if the enemy has a higher lvl, your cth is bad!
If you have a higher lvl, your cth is good (or even better than bad^^).

2 fana auras:
I think the higher one will stay active, not the last one...

[Ramierez]

nope, fanatism is the exeption. When 2 people have fanatism, the last one aktivated counts, no matter where it was activated.

On every other aura the higher one counts.

Also to be seen here for the ones who can speak german:

Sorry, my fault...
I knew there was an exception, but couldn't remember which one it was^^
