Question about % DR - Baajikiil - 03-18-2003

Okay, this is long shot... I heard at another forum that someone was trying to cast amp damage on another player, but it would not work.

I know that % DR has a cap for players(IIRC 75%). The theory is that the player had over 100% DR, and that amp would not work on him(just like on phys immune monsters), even though the % DR cap lowered his damage reduced below 100%. Does anyone know, if this is true?

SoE= 15%
Shaft= 30%
Vamp= 20%
Storm= 35%

100% total (of course, BER runes can be used as well to get 100% or more)

Does 100% damage reduced make players unaffected by amplify damage?

Thanks

This will take a while;

Yes.

Hail Baajikill,

Err, `unaffected by amplify damage' is obviously not exactly what you meant, but you should note that going from hardly taking any physical damage (aye, 75%) to taking full damage (ie 0%PR) is going to be a darn obvious difference; in the end, it'll probably be noticed more than if you had 0%, though obviously you'll take a heck of a lot more damage than you would with 0% :P

Yes, as allready said, that is true, you would be immune to Amp Damage. However, that bug will be fixed with the 1.10 patch :)

Good, % DR is already good enough without adding a buggy amp damage resistance :)

Hmmm....maybe I should try holding my breath......<turns blue>....<passes out>

perhaps not...

Question about % DR - D-Dave - 03-19-2003

Well, I know this has been answered but I tried searching and I seem to be to dim to find it...

While I am still fiddeling with my idea of the an almost unvulnerable Paladin a couple of Questions arose that are somewhat connected to %Damage Reduction.

Well as I understand (and the 75% cap seems to point in that direction) %Based Damage Reduction is handeled as physical resistance, correct so far?
Second, is this applied after straight Damage Reduction or before?

Example:

Attack is initiated
-> AR/DR Check (incl. Attackers and Defenders Level)
if Attack success
->Shield Block Check
if Block fails
->Damage Reduction
->Reduced Damage is lowered according to Physical Resist

Is this order correct? (and as a Bonus Question: If yes, is this Order also true for MDR being applied before Resists?)

Greetings Dave

Yes, that looks correct.

>>>for MDR being applied before Resists?

Yes it is.

If you want a good summary of the order in which damage modifications are applied, have a look at Tommi's site.
