Magic Resistance

Post by SiNeR »

ok I`m a bit confused and dont know what is going wrong... well i noticed that when I have around 1200 MR dragons hits me for like 20+ dmg from VF and when i have 1600 MR the dmg isnt reduced. It`s over 400 MR more and still no reduction? All i all this isnt the consufing part for me, but when i fight shadow demons or shadow dragons or blood hydras it is starting to be weird. They hit me for the same dmg(around 120) with 1200 as with 1600 MR. Is there any break point or sth when MR starting to be usefull on these kind of mobs??

Magic resistance reduces magic damage max to 25% (or 20%, don't remember exactly, however it can't reduce it just to one point) monster normal damage, that's why when you go with MR past certain breaking point, there is no further damage reduction. And yes, there is a breaking point where magic damage is getting reducted. More int monster have (= more powerful mob is), more MR you need to start cutting it's dmg down.
It's always funny until someone gets hurt. Then it's just hilarious.

MR increases by your level if i'm right?

And you should be wearing lots of MR+3 gear.

What Hen said. It only reduces damage to a certain point. so at 500MR daemons will hit for about 10-15 I think, and at level 250827405827308457203894250935 with twice that number in MR, they'll hit the same. It doesn't make you 100% resistant until you hit 10k MR (which is physically impossible unless on Alpha or be a DM.)

Beserker stance increases the damage you take. That probably gets taken into affect before the damage reduction of MR and so you're seeing more than a 25% increase.
