question about resists (not a whine)

[Trinilim]

Is it possible to have over 30% resist?

Was solo against a lvl 50 hero just now

hit him for 162 (-107)

well, I did the math, that's 40% resist.

Is this possible? I knew you could have 26%+ bonuses +race bonus.. but that seems kinda weird. Anyone care to enlight me?

And to the hero that killed me. Good job, got my ass handed back to me

resists have to do with RvR besides who cares i wanna know about it aswell as he prolly did crush damage and how do u get 40% crush resist? Was he in moose mode or something and that adds resist (secret extra ability?)

it does so stfu kthxbyeeeeeeeeee

 

[Trinilim]

I did the math 162+107/100 * 40

and no, he didn't use any special ability I believe (didn't moose mode anyway)

what is that? But if thats true than its solve +26% from resist +10% and +4 from wearing scales (crush resistant) and mb some racial bonus (btw where can i find how high these racial bonusses are?)

 

[[DK]hakke]

i wanna know where i can find raciel stats too, i've seen a page with it once but i cant find it again :/

 

[Novamir]

That hero would have been me Trinilim, i have 26% plus 3% racial and i wear scale (and your right no RA's were used), was a nice little fight ninja boy

Avoid Pain is boost to absorb, not resists though. Means higher AF, not more (-)..

rofl, found out why I was hitting for so low..

had my pve staff equipped (speed and low damage, not slow and high damage like my rvr one)

was a good fight anyway

Poor Optical, the game just doesn't make any sense to him

Hib scale is strong against crush. So gain +15% crush resist. Theyre weak to slash so get -15% and neutral to thrust.

26% with items 3% racial and 15% armour based.
That would make 44 so maybe its capped at 40. Dont know for sure, dont really care. Just hit them again.

Why a slow weapon for rvr btw?

 

[Trinilim]

slower the weapon, more the damage. And with my 200 quick, the dps remains the same, but speed is reduced to 3.3. and with haste (32%)

I attack every 2.2 seconds for the same amount as I would if I were attacking with 5.0 spd.

in other words, I hit as hard as a ton of bricks with fairly fast speed

 

[old.Leel]

Armor resists and vulnerabilites are now 10%, not 15% like they used to. So Garax had 39% resist to the attack.

 

[old.Xarr]

^above post: correct.

Damnit, anything to make my life a living hell eh

 

[skile]

The armor absorbs damage as well. So if a hero (27% resist in armor)+26-29 in windows = over 50%

Huh? absorb != resists, no armour resists = 24%

Not sure I see what you mean.

Absorb is an AF boost. Scale is 27% absorb so af 100 scale has an actual af of 127.

 

[skile]

Isn't absorb?:

clotharmor 0% absorb: hit for 100 dmg
chainarmor 27% absorb: hit for 73 dmg

To make it simple, ofc damage type affects dmg as well.

 

[skile]

Absorb = Suck up, should be suck up this % of the dmg you are hit for.

 

[shilak]

Scale is crush resistant for (10%), also could of had a 3% crush resist racial bonus and capped resist on armour (26%). So 26% + 10% + 3% = 39%. Dont think any races get more than a 3% melee resist bonus.

Absorb just reduces the damage taken by the absorb amount, i.e. it 'absorbs' some of the damage. AF affects how easy it is to hit you, as does bonus on armour items.

WRONG!

Absorb and AF has NOTHING to do with to-hit chances. Bonus is what gives you to-hit chances figured out. Just like with weapons.

The armour Absorb gives you a bonus to AF. The more AF you have, the less damage you will get hit for.

If you search a bit you'll find it in a grab bag on the Herald.
