Aviodence Of Magic

[Commandment]

With this RA it is supposed to increase your magic restance by the listed amount... does it show up when you click bonuses ? or is it just always on ^^

 

[Elitestoner]

if u had aom3, in your bonuses would say it like this: body : 26% + 10%

i knew that delete this thread plz ^^

which some mathkiddy will soon explain to you somehow doesn't add up to 36%

hehe in short the better your normal resistances are the less effect AOM will have. AOM only has 100% effectiveness if you have 0% standard resists.

does AoM just raise any low resist towards teh cap or sumint? if i have 24% body resist and AoM 3 is my resist 34% or what? i dont understand this

AoM is a secondary resist.
Let's say you get nuked for 500 before any resists.
If you have 26% resists in your template, you'll be hit for 370.

If you have AoM3, which is 10%, it will take off 10% from the 370 damage you took, and you'll take 333 damage.

If you have 24% body and AoM3 and you get hit by a body nuke that would have done let's say 100 damage on you if you had 0% resists then it will do:
100 - 24 = 76 damage to you with no AoM and
100 - 24 = 76 - 7.6(10% AoM) = 68.4 damage with AoM3.

So it first uses your main resists + resist buffs and then from that number it removes the AoM %.
Atleast I am pretty sure it works like that.

Or in other words, looking from the point of view of the damage resisted:

let "d" be the amount the base damage
let "r" be the resistance of the character from items/buffs
let "a" be the AOM resist.

Damage resisted = ( d x r ) + ( d - ( d x r ) ) x a

which factors down to: d x (a + r - a.r)

From this we can see that you loose an effective factor of a.r over the ideal stacking bonus, r + a.

eg. with 100 point damage spell, with 25% resistence and 10% AOM:

Damage resisted = 100 x ( 0.10 + 0.25 - ( 0.10 x 0.25 ) )
==> 100 x ( 0.35 - 0.025 )
==> 32.5 points resisted

which of course is less that the basic 25% + 10% (which would be 35) that you might ordinarily expect.

[DISCLAIMER: I havn't actually got a clue how AOM stacks - not having access to the DAOC source code, but this is a possible algorithm given what has been said above]

 

[Grayedd]

LOL Crook love the maths

Not sure about the actual stats of AoM but from what has been said I must agree with the maths and it does make a bit more sense as to why I still get harder than I expect by magic

/note to self (get rid of AoM)

 

[Deepflame]

... why I still get harder than I expect by magic

So that's why you play magic users eh?

 

[Commandment]

Well i made a gimp enought cheap temp on camlann for my minstrel.

And the temp was based around getting the magic resists to like 15% .. then getting AoM 3 for capped resists >.<

[Righthandof]

is it working the same with Empty mind? its just secondary resistance too?

 

[Arumos]

not sure but aom5, capped magic resists and empty mind 3 would be like a tesudo for 45 secc but able to fight (bit worse tho)
