How Does Magic Resistance work?

March 6, 2011 8:15:09 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I'm wondering how the Magic Resistance stat works.  I've done a search and can't find any reliable current information on the subject.

  1. Is it a straight percentage to resist the incoming spell, or is it used in a roll (like ACC v DOD or ATT v DEF)?
  2. If the Resistance "wins", does the entire spell fizzle, or is there an MR calculation for each effect in the spell?

Thanks a bunch!

AFAIK, not entirely sure though, magic resistance either rolls on or off.  I don't think there is damage mitigation (ie. reduction of damage), just block or not.  I may be wrong though.

Best regards,
Steven.

Is it possible to lower an enemies resistance to magic? I find my caster is fairly useless as all his spells only work if enemy doesn't resist. And they seem to resist almost 100% of the time. Resistance should decrease as physical damage increases and perhaps there should be spells or items that will lower the magic resistance of your enemy.
