Dark Age Of Camelot: Grab Bag

Qs, As and TL Openings Galore:

Q) I had a heated debate with someone in the game last night. We were arguing over the battle swords on the /rw map and the cup/tree/hammer. What does it mean? Is the exact cross of the swords the point of battle? Does the cup/tree/hammer show the general area; or is it specific?

Q) On my 4L5 warrior I have avoidance of magic 3 in addition to scars of battle or memories of war (whichever gives you the + to magic resist) and along with my equipment when I have seer resists on, my resists are generally around 70-75%. But when I use Fury, my resist in theory should be at 120-125% but I still take damage. What exactly is the cap for magic resists?

Q) You should clarify the recent archer patch that added a timer for Crit shot with reduced damage. My understanding was that this was on a single person, that if targeting another person that this timer would not be enforced. Many times - post patch - I have targeted and hit another person who is targeted for the FIRST time by me, and it gives me the message that this person takes reduced damage... So, do the notes really mean that if ANYONE hits that person with a Crit Shot, they will take reduced damage from ANYONE else hitting them? Some clarification would be helpful. Is this working as intended?

Q) Does the defensive bonus on styles give you a bonus in RvR or only PvE and does this bonus work on your black/evade/parry chance or does it just effect the rate at which your target misses you?

Q) In regards to a recent grab bag, it was stated that weapon skill doesn't do anything for damage. If this is the case what does Enervating Poison for stabbers do, seeing that it's a weapon skill / con debuff?

Q) Why does debuff effectiveness not affect champions debuffs when its all over Scale, Large Weapons, and even the champions Champ Weapon?

Q) I have a 2 part question: Does the buffing effectiveness on the Dragonsworn chain sleeves and Accommodation Buckler stack with one another? And do they stack with the Rune Scribed Starkakedja Gloves? The three of them combined would give my shaman a 15% bonus to buffing and that would be pretty darn sweet.

Q) I was posed a good question by one of my guilds members, when activating the crown of zahur aura of magic (+5% to range and resist piercing) is there anywhere in the interface where it shows the change? Does it stack with a capped item bonus (I have +10% to both on my runemaster, if the shaman in our group uses it, will I gain the bonus, yielding 15% to both?)? Have looked in the normal places (where it shows the bonus from items) and it doesn't come up there (either on my runemaster or my shaman who has it).

Q) Why does the bonus cap on the rune crafted equipment seem to not work? Example: I have a hunter level 50 who purchased an arcanium rune etched starkaskodd boots which are supposed to give a constitution bonus cap of 5, but when I equip it my constitution stays the same. I have 89 in constitution bonus item and I think it's 101. It's the same thing with my warrior, I have purchased and spellcrafted a whole set of rune, the stats I had crafted work but not the bonus cap. Can you tell me why please?
