I was curious about the Fade and hidden Physical Reduction thing. I went to DiabloII.net to see if I could find anything.

A: Fade has a hidden PDR bonus of 1% per skill point invested it in (whether natural or from +skills). So, an slvl 10 Fade would have 10% hidden PDR. This only applies when Fade is active.
Considering that...

Vampire Gaze - 20%
Shaftstop- 30%
Stormshield- 35%
String of ears- 15%
Level 20 Fade- 20%
Total= 120% Reduction.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this make you completely invulnerable to physical attacks?

I suppose it doesn't matter anyway. No Martial sin is going to choose Fade over Burst of Speed, and the real dangers are elemental attacks in hell. It would be better to get resists on equipment and use Burst, but I still thought it was fun to think about, so bite me.

My new Sin is going to need some pretty boots. If anybody is carrying around regular mesh boots or finds some, I would like them if they don't want them. I'm going to try imbuing them like crazy to find a good pair. Mesh Boots don't have the highest damage, but the strength requirements of higher boots are too much for me to fuss with. Sins need a hella lotta life if they plan on being close and personal, and I can't go spilling tons into Str. And don't even bring up Shadow Dancers and their -20% requirements to me because I'm never gonna get my hands on a pair.

And how much does an Arreat's trade for?
