Hi, I have a noob question about Physical damage reduced by ( number ).

So for example if I have physical damage reduced by 5 and a monster hits me with 10 damage then I will receive only 5 dmg yes?

If so then doesn't damage reduced by seem really useless? Since monsters in destruction probably hit in the thousands so if I have like 150 damage reduced and a monster hits me with 2000 damage then it really doesn't seem like much help no?

Also where can I find out about how much damage monsters in destruction do? Also how much damage uber boses do? I couldn't find the information anywhere.

PDR is good against multihitting attacks. Eg. you don't want to pop instantly with sin when killing a jitan guard etc.

Average damage in end game ubers is ~4k. Not really hard to test.

Is there still the ability to reset stats and skills outside of Akhara still? Or did they get rid of that?

Belladonna Elixir, can drop from just about any monster in destruction difficulty. Unsure about lower difficulties

Gamble is worth it to get tiered unique bases, nothing more. ALl my opinion.

Spirit Crusher

gives proc for superbeast.
If I'm in treewarden form, would that hybrid me or would it simply just remove treewarden form and transform into superbeast instead?

when it procs it overlays (does not override) over your treewarden stat, so you can still use the treewardens skills as superbeast, and when the superbeast morph ends you will be transformed back to treewarden form

This statement was false

Just tried it out, morphs me into superbeast, and i cannot use treewarden skills(removes the treewarden form).
Morphs me out of superbeast into normal mode after just 5 seconds in the form aswell :/
Conclusion: two morphs cannot be active at a time

Because of this issue above, please remove superbeast proc, and the item might actually be viable(or fix so you can be two different classes morphs at once). the stats on it without the proc is good.

Is "Bonus to Poison Skill duration" decreasing my DPS-output on poison based spells. I.ex. Scorpion Blade?

► Show Spoiler

Scenario:
Initial skill: 100 poison damage over 1 second (100DPS)

Then: +100% Bonus to Poison Skill Duration
Would that make 100 Poison damage over 2 seconds (50DPS)?

From https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/wiki/poison

"1. Poison duration does not affect poison damage per second. In other words, if you do 100 damage per second over 10 seconds, your total damage would be 1000. If you add 5 more seconds, your damage per second won't decrease to 66 (1000:15=66). Instead you will do 1500 total damage (100*15=1500). This is a very good thing that many people don't understand so they try to avoid increased duration. The truth is, it can really help if you want to kill an enemy in 1 hit. "
