I don't think that dr% auras that give you item dr%

i'ts about auras that reduce the damage of your enemies first , not about boosting your total gear %DR (item dr as you call it) . best way to test this is in a party with a necro with void archon or sorceress with IE + a barbarian with 50% dr bear stance , to avoid discussions arround % dr auras not working ok from void archon reanimates/oskill IE summons .you can also test it as an assassin with shadow refuge or an amazon with tons of DR (can reach 50%) from gear + spellblind (+champions of the sun oskill) , paladin with 50% dr from gear + Collosseum .


this is the link from this tread 2 months ago with the same explanation -> viewtopic.php?f=5&t=124&p=45834&hilit=shadow+refuge#p45834 . i have answered Murreh's question and the detailed explanation was then given by Scalewinged

You can stack up to 200% dr from gear/skills/whatever else but you will never be able to reduce incoming damage more than on 50% Void archon aura reduces not incoming damage but it reduces damge of enemies itself (outcoming?). For example enemy that have 100 phys damage will deal only 50 dmg when you have 50%+ dmg reduction. But under Void archon aura his damage will be reduced by 25%, for example. So his output damage will be no 100 but 75 and that 75 damage will be reduced by your dr% to 37,5. Same with Spellbind, Colloseum, etc. But anyway there's no way to totally negate phys damage.
At least i hope Archon (-25% enemy damage) aura won't stack with both Spellbind (-50%) and Colloseum (-25%)

In total - you wil never be phys immune by your own % damage reduction.

6 months ago same story , last year same story ....

i really think this should make it into the docs to avoid future headakes

ok I guess we agree then. I just kinda remember Ice Elementals just adding DR%, and not reducing enemy damage, that's what confused me (can't check what they do exactly, since my d2 crashes). if they just add DR% then the effective cap is 50%, but if they reduce enemy damage, then it's higher.

Yo, what's the " time limit " of a game? I was almost done with Uldy and the game just closed due to it. Is it servers specific (gs-X) or..? got my hours wasted.

[Rishab]

It was 4 hours something earlier, bit it was increased i think..

Like i said, it was increased. I used to infinite time afk k3k with my assa, in which i just stood at one spot and let necro summon / qob kill / reanim meatshield, and at those times limit was something like ~4hrs30min, but i now i have seen games a old as 7 hours..

Also, servers resart once everyday irrespective of how old any made game is..

The servers are restarted daily at 5am UTC (in 14 hours, 4 minutes)
