What is the best DD?

Ive broken 10k on that mob as blu, does that mean the blu > drg?

It has 50% resist to polearms, only 12.5% resist to swords, magic is another story. Wish12oz made the same mistake in another thread when bragging about his blade:hi.

Should put a disclaimer on your sig then.

Actually I was stating it was a bad blade hi and I used a terrible weapon for the jin, you should learn how to read.

Actually, doesnt mictlantecuhtli take 200% physical damage when casting? Even with losing 50% you would still be doing 150% extra damage. I can do 7k on neutral mobs with drakes and I dont even have a relic/mythic/emp.

I would be willing to bet that when it takes extra damage it cancels all damage type mitigation myself.

Bad Hi or not, its still doing 37.5% more damage unresisted, +% damage taken does not remove the natural resistances a mob has in place already. It'd be like if we tried to WS a skeleton that had -25% damage from slashing/pierce, but still had +100% damage taken, it isnt going to be an automatic +75% damage taken, it's going to be +100% after the resistance is calculated.

I call BS, no drg can average more than 3.5-4.5k with drakes, random 5-6k spikes maybe on lucky triple attacks, but no way in hell you are hitting 7k on nonpiercing weakness mobs.

Can you prove that? Or is how you know super secret like your characters name?

It's common sense, it isn't going to be subtracted from amplified damage, that would be just plain stupid.

@ GG, nope, aint me.

Don't believe you.

Regardless, Haste/Slow work the same way (50% haste + 25% slow = 25% haste), so it's not implausible that DT is additive instead of multiplicative. In fact I'm fairly sure it's additive.
