New frontiers Avoidance of magic....

[Ceryseth]

Although i do understand the huge point cost but correct me if a am wrong but with AoM5 tanks can be running around with constant:
28+28+24=80 Magic resists???

Even without BAoD i would think that is a hell of a lot

 

[Aybabtu]

78% + racial (resist caps are at 26)

 

[katt!]

except they are not calculated like that.

 

[stubbe]

where your raw damageoutput is x
BAoD*(AoM*((items+resistbuffs+racial)*x)))

 

[Pin]

RA resists are multiplied with the rest, not added to them.

so 26 item, 24 buff, 28 RA gives 64% resist.

Pin has spoken. :worthy:

can't I get a B for effort? :wub:

 

[Gibbo]

64% resist's instead of 80%? Well thats ok then.....

 

[Nalistah]

64% resist's instead of 80%? Well thats ok then.....

haha.. that would suck, especially with elemental weapons ;C

 

[Chilly]

u can get over 59% +racial atm anyway i think with only aom3

 

[Nuked]

let us keep our 25% in exchange :wub:

 

[fl3a]

C- to you

 

[Brack]

let us keep our 25% in exchange :wub:

amen

 

[Sigh]

hmm i thought aom was getting nerfed as it didnt stack with cleric resists, did i make this up or is it true?

 

[Ceryseth]

Hmmm then not worth the points imo thnx for replys

racial-, item- and buffresists are added (say R1), BAoD, AoM are added (say R2)

a spell is cast for x dmg

f(x) = ((x - (x * (R1 / 100))) - ((x * (R1 / 100)) * (R2 / 100))) whereas previously it was f(x) = x - (x * ((R1+R2) / 100))

example:
(x=100, R1= 50 (26+24), R2=15 (AoM5))

old edition:

f(x) = 100 - ((100 * ((50+15) / 100)))
= 100 - (100 * (65 / 100))
= 100 - (100 * 13/20)
= 100 - 65
= 35

So you get hit for overwhelming 35 dmg

now the new edition:

f(x) = ((100 - (100 * (50 / 100))) - ((100 * (50 / 100)) * (15 / 100)))
= ((100 - (100 * 1/2)) - ((100 * 1/2) * (15 / 100)))
= ((100 - 50) - (50 * (15 / 100)))
= (50 - 7.5)
= 42.5

This time you get hit for 42.5 dmg alrdy, which means 7.5 more. Seems not much bu now add BAoD to the formula and you'll get hit for lots more with the new system.

In clear words, the old system added your resists and then substracted them from spelldamage, the new system first substracts R1, then from the new value substracts R2, which results ofc in higher spelldamage.

if I made a bracket misstake, sry, but I'm writing from university here and the monitors are plain crap.
