Frontlines FAQs Guide.

Non-elemental magic like Scathe, Ruin, Bio etc is still affected by "magic resistance" like by Foe Requiem and Focalization. I would strongly assume any DoM-equipped PvP action with potency (Aetheric, Aura Blast, Phantom Dart) is also affected. Magic resistance isn't Elemental resistance.

Nice guide! Im not even close of going FL, but i got some questions:

1) What "BiS" means?

2) There is some way to rise elemental resistance?

3) Skills like fist of earth and rampart still works to reduce incoming damage? Or it is just like protect and foresight?

4) It is a safe way to a dps put points on vit to rise survivability?

Best in slot, it is a term used mostly to describe the best possible gear for what stat you want.
Using primal weapons would be the only way at the moment.
Some abilities do not boost defense, but reduce incoming damage so they should work if you take the quote I posted above word for word.
It is safe for dps but you lose bits of damage, finding a comfort zone or balance would be best for you. I can advise that average crits are 1500 to 2103 for my PvP Black Mage but not often as I am being hit by many people.
