Quote:The only reason I could see putting more points into Lower Resist is to deal with Physical Immunes while using Corpse Explosion to lower the fire resistance.Hi,
Now, I don't want to bug you, but couldn't you use AD just for this purpose, fighting PIs? It'd break their immunity, and make them susceptible for your CE...
[EDIT - new info about breaking immunities taken into consideration]
monster example #1:
HP: 5000
fire resist: 50%
physical resist: 100%
corpse explosion damage: 60-100% of corpse hit points, the damage is 50% physical and 50% fire.
hit points of the corpse: 5000 (same monster type).
skill level AD/LR: 5
if you apply a lvl 5 LR, the monster has:
fire resist: 3%
physical resist: 100%
It will loose 1455-2425 hit points (1940 avg).
if you apply a lvl 5 AD, the monster has:
fire resist 50%
physical resist 80%
It will loose 1050-1750 hit points (1400 avg).
monster example #2:
HP: 5000
fire resist: 66%
physical resist: 66%
if you apply a lvl 5 LR, the monster has:
fire resist: 19%
physical resist: 66%
It will loose 1725-2875 hit points (2300 avg).
if you apply a lvl 5 AD, the monster has:
fire resist 66%
physical resist -34%
It will loose 2520-4200 hit points (3360 avg).
monster example #3:
HP: 5000
fire resist: 75%
physical resist: 33%
if you apply a lvl 5 LR, the monster has:
fire resist: 28%
physical resist: 33%
It will loose 2085-3475 hit points (2780 avg).
if you apply a lvl 5 AD, the monster has:
fire resist 75%
physical resist -67%
It will loose 2880-4800 hit points (3840 avg).
monster example #4:
HP: 5000
fire resist: 100%
physical resist: 25%
if you apply a lvl 5 LR, the monster has:
fire resist: 91% (like 1/5 of 47% is 9.4%, which gets rounded to 9%, right?)
physical resist: 25%
It will loose 1260-2100 hit points (1680 avg).
if you apply a lvl 5 AD, the monster has:
fire resist 100%
physical resist -75%
It will loose 2625-4375 hit points (3500 avg).
So...
Actually, you're better of with AD if the monster has less physical resistance than 100%.
