Damage Reduction Gear Questions |
|
Alright, so I have aspirations on making a level 30 Damage Reduction character. But I'm having difficulty deciding on what gear would be the best and even what character to make. My thoughts so far...
Asn
3sol'd helm
10%Dr Armor with sol
Saftey Shield - Sol/Sol (would be nice)
15% Dr Belt
Saftey Rings, Ammulet, Boots Gloves
and with a lvl ~12 Fade the total setup gives me...
~50 Damage Reduction
~30 Mdr
37% Dr with fade
I'm not sure. But advice towards this would be helpful.[/u]

What kind of character you want to me? If its a sin you could go dual claws for spells and wep/shield for melee.
Zons let you have dodges and a shield, but no claw block.

3 other options.
sorc ES
war cry barb
regen paladin
with your sin idea check these numbers on the perfrormances of 70dr vs 50dr, 25%dr and 3X%dr
a 70 pvp hit, -50 *.63 = 13 pvp
a 170pvp hit -50 * .63 = 75 pvp
a 300 pvp hit - 50 *.63 = 157pvp
a 10 sol setup with about 25%dr
a 70 pvp hit, -70 *.75 = 0 pvp
a 170 pvp hit -70 * .75 = 75 pvp
a 300 pvp hit -70 *.75 = 172pvp
in either case the build can only handle about 600 dmg.
a regen paladin with 11sols, HS for block, 15%dr SOE.. or the same rockfleece idea with -dr crafts for 25%dr and about 65dr
however the sorc can absorb about 300pvp if done at about lvl 33-37
and handles ele/magic somewhat

you can almost does this sorta effect with barb cry lowering dmg which scales the effect of dr
i never thought much about it, but a zon dodge does avoid a bit of dmg, but more importantly avoid will let her sit still and survive quite alot of magic/ele attacks too. too bad she has no regen ability

I'm sure back when I was playing a year or so ago I heard a rumour that 100%dr could negate crushing blow? Was this a complete myth?
At level 37 I think you get the life everlasting effect on magical amulets and circlets that have a really nice boost to -dr
At level 30 its tricky to get a "tank" that can actually return decent damage without the use of insight.

50% is the effective cap, u can stack almost as high as 200% to handle decrep or amp just like people stack cold to counter cold mastery.
dr% can reduce crushing, but amp will not increase it.
-dr will not effect crushing

this thread states that Crushing does not follow the cap.
i have never tested it
(not that we can get over 50% in LLD anyway)
