Talk:Resistances (Origins)

Types of Resistances
Physical Resistance doesn't contribute to Damage Reduction do they? It is possible to have the character's Physical Resistance @ 100, but they still take damage =/

Physical Resistance is said in-game that it only increases the chance to Resist being Knockeddown & Stunned.

Also said in-game, is that 0.5 strength + 0.5 dexterity +... = Physical Resistance Score, not 1xstr + 0.5 dex =/

The following comment was moved from the article to its talk page.

I'm pretty sure this is Incorrect. Strength, Constitution and Dexterity contributes to Physical Resistance by the same value. =/ ? and there's a Cap for Physical Resistance at 100, you can try it. The preceding comment was made by >> Fy  can [ fahy - kan ] @ 02:03, 4 February 2010

100% Resistances Items
I'm surprised that no one has looked into this yet- unless I just can't find the page for it.

I thought it might be an idea to list equipment that can give resistances to damage types, and possible combinations to give 100% resistances (immunity).

I'm not very adept at using the wiki features yet, so I don't know what layout would be most appropriate. Or if a new page should be created just for listing resistance equipment- since there would be a lot.

Perhaps a table listing in each column:
 * 1) Name of piece of equipment


 * 1) Equipment type (boots/ring/necklace/ etc)


 * 1) Effects of equipment

Of course, making sure to link the name of piece of equipment so that the reader can find more detail on it's specific page.

This is just the stuff I've put on Oghren in one of my playthroughs- gives him 94% Spell Resistance.

Something I'm going to look into is 'chance to dodge attacks'. What would 100% in this do, I wonder?

So something like this, maybe? What do we think?

 * I think elemental resistances cap at 75%, and there's no way to get 100% dodge chance (only 80%).

First Enchanter's Cowl - 10%

Reaper's Vestments - 10%

Cailan's Greaves - 20%

Fade Shroud - 25%

The Spellward - 10%

Guildmaster's Belt - 5%

Ancient Elven Gloves 4% spell resistance

Havard's Aegis 4% spell resistance Lufos 21:54, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

You need a rogue with the Evasion talent. This presumeably gives +25% chance to dodge (check the description). Since Reaper's Vestments are mage only you'd need to use Evon the Great's Mail instead. That a high strength requirement for a rogue, but still. This gives 105% chance to dodge! BenJP 22:03, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
