Hi all,
It's recently come to my attention that there are a number of "secret" skill bonuses present in 1.10. That is, certain skills give extra, undocumented passive bonuses when points are placed into them. These bonuses are not mentioned in either the skill description or on the Arreat Summit (or any patch logs).
There are 5 which I have heard about:
BLESSED AIM - Each point placed into Blessed Aim aura by the Paladin gives an extra 5% passive Attack Rating bonus for the Paladin, which is active even when the aura is not active.
RESIST FIRE - Each point in the Resist Fire Aura gives +0.5% to MAX Fire Resistance. Again, this is a passive benefit which affects the Paladin even when the aura is not active. Therefore, a Paladin with 20 points in Resist Fire will have +10% to his Max Fire Resist at all time (giving him a max of 85% with no other items).
RESIST COLD - Exactly the same as Resist Fire, each point in resist cold gives a +0.5% bonus to Max Cold Resistance.
RESIST LIGHTNING - Ditto for Lightning as above.
FADE - The most amazing one I have found. The Assassin skill Fade apparently gives 1% DAMAGE REDUCTION for each point applied to it (!). This isn't passive though, it is an additional effect whenever Fade is active. This one is awesome, and surely puts Fade WAYYYY above Burst of Speed in terms of overall usefulness.
Those are the 5 I know about. Can anyone definitely confirm these, and does anyone know about any other bonuses from other skills?
It would be VERY nice to get a complete list of such hidden bonuses, and then force GF at sword-point to document them on the Arreat Summit
