Its more likely that there will be categories of modifiers and that each is applied to a damage amount, so have tanking stance on(-50% dmg), 100% tactics (-25% dmg) and using a shield (-25% magic damage) would probably result in you taking: 1*0.5 *0.75 *0.75 = 0.28125% of the original magic damage.
So in other words, if my assumption is right, then going fully defensive, you would take just over a quarter of the original damage. Not however that this does not take into account magic resistance. I'm not exactly sure how magic resistance works, but I think its like a saving throw, you either have enough MR and resist the spell, taking less damage, or you don't and take full damage.
This is not an opinion, this is an assumption. I was simply pointing out to Egg that if the effects stack (like he said tactics + berzerk stance would), then it could equal 100% dmg reduction. Even with your calculations do you really thing he wants to give fighters 77 some odd % of magic reduction? Only he knows how the formulas work, so this assumption is just spamming an ASS out of U and ME.
That's why I said hush. There was nothing absolutely useful in this statement and I consider it spam, sorry to say. Your two cents on how you ASSUME it works makes you look like a moron. What I stated was useful to EGG and EGG only for a possible CHEESE, no matter which way you calculate it.
