Short Questions Thread

I would love some more info about how to survive in Teganze:

Are all the ranged spells from the Umbaru Spirits elemental based? If so, i guess physical resist is useless?

Is high max elemental resist usefull? The documentation is saying i need at least 80% link
Some people say high max resist does nothing link

Does defense/low chance to be hit work?
It seems i always get hit by those ranged spells, i have 550.000 defense and the tooltip is indicating Umbaru Spirits only have 7% chance to hit me, does this only count for there poor melee attack?

Does dodge/avoid work?

If i use absorb items like T4

Assuming you have 80% resist, you'll heal 20% * 5% -> 1% of damage taken. Assuming resistances calculated first, but in the end it's the same

Enemy damage healing you can only be achieved back then, where absorbs has crazy numbers and 90% resist is very easy to get. Combined with ~140 flat physical reduction and a shield that absorbs flat ~20 elemental damage, Quov Tsin laser will heal you

Flat elemental damage on weapons scale with the WDM of the skill you are using. The new elemental bases are no different.

there definitely is a cap to dl armor.

in endgame it doesnt make a difference if you put 1 or more points in it.
