MR and its effectiveness

[Halibel]

Just been doing some tests in game with MR since warriors are complaining about Wizzards having PR.

What I found was.
At 350% MR, thats +35 MR. You are bout 30-35% immune to Frost Crunch, Thunderbolt and pretty much any spell that targets you directly.
At 380% you are 4/5 times immune to single target spells.
At 400% you become practically 100% immune to all frost crunch, thunderbolt and any other direct target spell.
At 500% theres not much difference.

MR offers no protection from Icestorm, Flamefield and Blizzard and other area of effect spells.

So, downside and upside.
Well on the plus side people can become Immune to the blue/purple of frost crunch. Downside is, MR is hard to orb up. It can only be added to 4 item slots. Helm, Boots, Belt and Armour. Anyone wearing RoM will not be able to reach it.

Someone just pointed out to me in game there is an MR+15 shield. With that it would be quite easy to hit the 400% mark.

All this needs to be tested a bit more before it can be finalised. It wasnt tested against uber MC i.e. 450+. Will test it tomorrow. But around the 380MC mark is all tested for and found to be accurate.

UPDATE:

390MR Vs 450MC
Looking at about 3/10 hits landing on you. 390MR is quite manageable with the shield. Means you need to add +24MR to your items, 22 if you wear a tigernecklace.

400MR Vs 490MC
Again it works out at 3/10 hits landing on you. 400MR is manageable still so long as you have the shield.

420MR Vs 490MC
1/10 Hits will land. 420MR is quite difficult to hit though. Its +27MR on Items with shield. Impossible without it.

500MR Vs 490MC
Untouchable :P

With 500PR and 400MR it was quite a bit harder to purple me with Blizzard.

thx for the info

was tested to 487mc

ok, so conclusion: PR is overpowered.

reason:

- PR is easier to orb up, even weapon can have PR
- MR doesnt effect ALL attacks, even blizzard slow doesnt get effected or not much it seems.
- PR DOES effect all poison/slow attacks, even paralyse ring effect cancelled.
- There is a 500% shield ingame, and a PR+15 and MR+15 shield, no 500% MR shield, and if there was MR shield would suck anyway because 99% of the time in pvp wiz use fw/blizz/ff


Its unbelievable that you guys had to make a poll about the change of limeshield. Any gm that put a little thought into this would have known PR at high amounts unbalances the characters. Ofcourse all the wizards that MR has, like 80% of the population voted for keep the shield as it is, but there was no need for a vote, you gms should have realised by yourself its not right to cancel the best ring ingame totally.

Not necessarily. You are looking at it as if you are being hard done by. Those same lime shields help you against your fellow warriors. They are available to all.

Blizzards slow isnt affected by MR from what I could see. But when I was in 500PR and 400MR StarChaser with 350+ MC couldnt purple me. I need to go back and make sure of the Blizzard situation as I mostly skipped over it.

Adding a 500% MR shield to the server is not a solution. It would be like putting a plaster over a decapitation. This test was not to see if a better MR shield was viable but it was to see if there is protection available against Wizards and there is. Ok so it may not work on Blizzard, but you have dash right? Blizzard is also on a timer so you mitigate some Frost Crunch damage and you stop an unlucky blue poison. It may not seem to stack up against Wizards being immune to your Slow but its the best you've got at the moment.

Learn to adapt. Rely less on your slow and poison. For once warriors arent tearing down on a slowed opponent and some of you are finding it difficult. You have shoulder dash, one of the most under rated skills in PvP in my opinion it offers you so much if you care to use it.

but to have pr 600~800%+ u need to loose kit (sheilds ect) wich inturn u loose loadz mc/hp so u still get owned lol.

[Flyingpig]

Does MR400+ Worked on Tao Cursed ?

more than likely not as curse is a mass attack spell, mr only effects directly targeted spells

[Orphan]

Its PR that effects curse not MR.

Nice work hali, no one was believing me when I said PR effected Curse/Blizz/FC lol. Ah well
