[DEV 1009] Kings update, drop rates.

[MarkovChain]

So you're advocating that you can take 15% of total magic damage, and this is your math behind it. Well, lets say you have an MDT set and bar spells, that means you take 30% of the total damage according to your math. So you're advocating taking 15% less damage at the cost of carrying bar-element sets of gear.

You say it can be done with 6 pieces of gear? Ok, so how many elements are there? and its 6 pieces per element? that sounds like 20++++++ pieces of gear you are advocating people carry around.

This why you shouldn't argue with intelligent people. I didn't count barspell's mdb in my math. Therefore you shouldn't count 30% but 50% for your set, so try again.

Whatever you do mdt caps at 50% no matter what.

Everything SE is adding to the game now is outside abyssea content. No more 4k HP or unlimited MP pools to default to when you're bad at the game, so that -10% damage taken ring will be pretty good. And if your melees are tanking, you better hope they have a good DT set for when they get caught with their pants down. Maybe next time you will read what people say before you reply with this nonesense, but then you still wear full usukane on your monk and think it's good, so it's not like your opinion on gear should even be taken seriously.

Losing an argument and then procedding to use personnal attacks (aside from being compelete bullshit). Never did I claim full usu was better either, I think you are a little mad right now. Maybe you will post the links though.

Now obligatory "give us examples" of concrete situations.

BG learned of resistance gear back in 2005 or so after people started killing Tiamat, you weren't there so I guess you wouldn't remember.

Yes I know that BG people form years ago knew it.
