Is resist harder to gain now??
Is resist harder to gain now??
Im working resist on one of my chars and its slow. Really slow. I gm'd magery on 2 chars building resist on this char and its only at 90. Does resist build faster if the mage has eval int?
Re: Is resist harder to gain now??
Supposedly, but testing has shown it doesn't really make a difference. Presumably you're using Flamestrike at this point, right?
Re: Is resist harder to gain now??
Yea, Im using flamestrike. I think Ill have one char cast FS on the char Im working resist on and that char cast FS on himself. Then a third do the healing.

Magic Resist gains are now based partially on damage, in addition to the circle of the spell. This means you cannot gain into high levels of resist while taking minimal damage.

Re: Is resist harder to gain now??
I've noticed the same thing. I built resist up on a character about a month ago at a much faster rate...

This means no more resist gains in town correct?

Re: Is resist harder to gain now??
It seems the only thing that patch changed was to remove the ablility to use Meteor Swarm/Chain Lightning over multiple targets to gain resist (splitting the damage between ~20 people and gaining 20x as fast as just flamestriking yourself). I'd wager a bet you can still use the "cast inside of town from outside of town" strategy to gain resist to GM.Thalomos wrote:This means no more resist gains in town correct?

I've done this to GM since the resist patch went in.nightshark wrote:I'd wager a bet you can still use the "cast inside of town from outside of town" strategy to gain resist to GM.

So have one char stand outside of guard zone and cast fs on a char standing inside of guard zone?Rammar wrote:I've done this to GM since the resist patch went in.
Re: Is resist harder to gain now??
Yes, though in all honesty you don't save that many bandaids and you're missing a good opportunity to skill up healing on an alt. It is a lot easier to speed things up with several casters using this method though.Joe wrote:So have one char stand outside of guard zone and cast fs on a char standing inside of guard zone?Rammar wrote:I've done this to GM since the resist patch went in.

Wasn't arguing anything about the method, just saying it's possible. I GM all my characters in my house just FSing myself. It takes roughly 60 hours after GMing magery (90-GM resist).Rammar wrote:Yes, though in all honesty you don't save that many bandaids and you're missing a good opportunity to skill up healing on an alt.
