If I get my magic shield up to 100% (mithril arts, talents, barbarian racial ability) would that make me immune to every spell except magic punch?
and is there any way to lessen the damage dealt by magic punch? |
| so easy to get magic shield 100%???? |
no no :)
it's far from easy. tons of money and high level would be needed |
Not sure if there's a way to lessen magic punch.
But the arts are not additive, last I heard. If Barbarian gave you 50% immunity and you had arts which gave you 50% immunity, you would have a total of 75% immunity, not 100%. |

But still 75% is alot of immunity. |
| why is that? |
| ^^ And DE Piercing magic lower that %. |
| so what's the formula then for addition of magic shield? |
| note that DE peitcing is much more powerfull than barb ability to magic resist. |
You want the math formula or the reality formula?
Math forumula 1-((1-N)*(1-M)) Where N and M are the resistances in decimal.
Reality formula: First it hits the barbarian immunity, which gets rid of 1-M of it. Then it hits the artifact immunity, which gets rid of 1-N of the remaining damage.
If it were, say, 60% Barbarian and 25% artifact then the damage that got through would be:
Math: 1-((1-.6)*(1-.25))= 1-(.4*.75)= 1-(.3)=.7=70% resistance, 30% gets through.
Reality: 40% gets through the Barbarian immunity. Then 3/4 of the 40% goes through the artifact immunity, so 30% of the damage gets through. |

I don't know where you got that information from, but DE piercing pierces part of the magic resistance a DE with faction lvl 5 would pierce 50% of the enemy's resistance. If the enemy has 40% resistance the DE would pierce 20% and not the entire 40%. Likewise if an enemy has 80% resistance the same DE would pierce 40% (50% of 80)
So piercing magic is a lot more useless then magic resist. |
| ^^ Magic resist completely useless against non magic chars. |
If you have 90% magic resistance, and I have 90% piercing, the resulting damage is 10%+81%=91%, or equivalent to 9% magic resistance. When high magic resistance goes against high piercing, high piercing wins.
I think that was the point of the "more powerful" statement. |
