Do resists actually work?????

[old.mattshanes]

Well a lv47 hib caster nukes me for 600+ twice having 34% resists in some elements this seems kind of lame,yes they do have the relics maybe that's why but anyway a 2h user does 500s with having 23% slash 3 times seems kind of odd.

Can anyone explain how avoidance of magic works,i know it gives 3% but guildies were disucussing that it may be bugged.Anyone got tests or differences before and after having avoidance of magic?

Maybe it proves hib casters are overpowered

I heard someone saying AoM works in the following way:

You take 100 damage, but you have 20% resistance dmgtype against that so you really only take 80 damage

You also have AoM 1 (3%), those 3% is then withdrawn from the 80 damage and NOT the initial 100 damage, which makes it not entirely 3%.

23% resistance = 77 damage
20% + AoM = 77,6 damage

Not that much difference but thats how I heard how it works, dunno if its true tho, its sounds kinda silly ^^

criticals? heat debuff?

criticals are lumped into the whole damage taken disabled, so 600 may seem odd but if they nuked for like:

300(-100)
critical 250 to 300

you'd see it as 550 to 600.

and yes, them having +20% from relics kind of makes your -3% from AoM somewhat irrelevant. infact it makes 2/3 of your resists irrelevant.

hehe, 35% cold res, unbuffed.

Mid BK guards nuke me for 2xx ^-^

 

[Glyph_mid]

Not even I nuke you for that Soulfly, would be 330'ish

Spells only crit up to 50% in RvR. So they'd have to hit you for like 400 and crit for 200 and that'd be a nice juicy crit at that. I can never hit for 400 on someone who's got max resists, sometimes hit for 390 if they have 0 resists etc

nerf powerrelics/hibs/resist debuffs!

oh and it doesn't make them irrelevant, I'd rather have 20% resist - 20% bonus than 0 resist - 20% bonus
