1. resistances to damage resdamage
Resistance to damage cuts down on any kind of incoming damage, whether
that be from skills, spells, or melee. Which resistances does resistance to
damage stack with? The answer is all. However, resistance to damage
doesn't help with things like the mental submission spell, blindness, stun
or daze, or any other kind of adversive effect. It only reduces the amount
of damage you take from hits.
Each individual resistance is capped at 50%, and then they are added
together and then the vulnerabilities are applied. After this, the total
resistance is capped again at 50%.
As an example of two resistances plus a vulnerability, the calculations work
like this: You have 75% resistance to fire. This gets lowered to 50%
resistance to fire. You also have 60% resistance to damage. This gets
lowered to 50% resistance to damage. Now the two resistances together equal
110%. A vulnerability of 40% to fire is applied, lowering your resistance
to 70%. Finally, the total resistance of 70% is lowered to the max cap of
50%.
Now, an example of a scenario with only resistance to fire: You have 75%
resistance to fire. This gets lowered to 50% resistance to fire. You have
a vulnerability of 40% to fire, lowering your resistance to fire to 10%.
Keep in mind, these examples have been simplified for easier comprehension.
Resistances are not additive, but multiplicative.
So if you have 50% resistance to damage and 50% resistance to fire, you
wouldn't be 100% resistant to fire. The real amount would be 75% resistant
to fire.
