Resistance worth going?

just wondering if it is worth going in pvp

pretty sure anything beside power and defense is bum.

Like goodluck, unless you willing to try the wall build

Even then you need to invest in brewing for good stuff, which is time consuming and costly

no :skull:

dex and size are still good, regen is also surprisingly viable

but yeah a build should be like mostly pow and def

Max power +regen + restanices

after the rework where it applies for like 0.5 seconds after using a move I was curious to see if it could work on a speed build (where your constantly attacking) but never got around to it.

fr? can I have resist after a move???

seems kinda op

yeah nvm prob

Didn’t that get reverted on full release?

You need to stack a TON of it for it to even be worth looking at, and then you still need a reasonable amount of power to go along with it.

I’m the expert here, I’ve got a 741 res 93 pow 489 def (-43 dex) build.

It performs… okay. I’m not exactly the best PVPer in the world. Getting grabbed, Paralyzed, Frozen, or Petrified means you lose all of your defenses and they can get a huge hit or two in which is hard to recover from.

Resistance applies throughout the entire duration of the move (including charging and endlag) at full effectiveness. That effectiveness was reduced heavily to compensate, though. At 741 I still only get a 77.8% reduction.

Oh, and it doesn’t work when Blocking. Whoever says that hasn’t been paying attention.

may have, if it did I’m unaware

:thinking:

that’s some very useful information

based on the scaling (77.8% at 741)

i think if u wanted to you could run a viable resistance build with like 200 - 300 for around 30% probably, but it’s not something i would recommend per say

I tried resistance build and lemme tell you, the damage reduction isn’t noticeable unless you go full ooga booga with it.

But considering the game condition right now. Just dont. Better build defense. I am sucker for piercing but resistance isn’t much, unless you want to go pve where you play bomb and block.

resistance doesn’t affect blocking and it’d be even worse in pve since you could just not get hit in the first place

You’d think that with all the random pieces giving resistance at least some of it would’ve found its way onto builds… but no. A piece has to give at least 50 resistance without enchantments to be worth using, and not a single one of them do that. You need Abyssal uncommon stuff. I guess maybe Shadow Ravens + Atlantean could do some work, but that’s a pain to get and Abyssal is just naturally better than every other modifier anyway.

i tried my best to make a kind of pvp viable build with more than 100 resistance did i cook

3759 effective max HP (assuming all hits are resisted (which they won’t be)) with 160 power and only 64 attack size. Gonna have to ask the PVPers if that’s decent or not ‘cause I have no idea.

Pretty sure it do affect blocking. Btw im not talking bout fortified.

It does not, It’s been like that for a while, as when it did, that was a bug.

i love my 50% regen build

369 resistance since gear builder doesnt have 2x azule, 43% resistance
