how resists works? reducing damage or reducing element effects

im mage 150k hp 120k armor 420+ ep8 floors 1 hit me should i get some resist?

This is in the dictionary as well. It says DMG.

All resist would definitely help. As a Wizard, you should already have a good amount from points in Mana.

Blood Magic Replaces all MP, MP Regen, and MP Leech with HP equivalents, and removes your MP bar. You know use HP to cast spells. Increases DMG by 12.5% per rank.

  • how is this interacting with “Cosmic Power - Time Warp adds 2.5% per rank of max MP to any projectile’s DMG that passes through the Time Warp”

Crushing Blow Chance to take 25% of enemy’s current health. This percent is reduced by 1/2 for Epic enemies and reduced by 1/4 for Bosses.
according to the Codex it should be
25% of normal
12.5% of magic
6.25% of rare
3.125 of epic
1.5625% of legendary
0.78125% of mythic
isnt it?

Explode on Attack Attacks have a 5% chance to cause a large explosion based off of your total Mainhand DMG
-how is this working with attacks which deal a lot of “ticks”? For example Orb, is this chance applied to every tick or somehow else?

Faun’s Gifts Increases HP by 12.5% per rank Luck on Gear, Heals 25% resisted DMG
-12.5% per rank * “Total commulative meaning” of luck on gear? is pet included?

Golden Veins Increases HP and DMG by 25% per rank Average Gold Find on gear
-25%per rank * (Total Gold Find on gear/6)? is this right? what about the pet?

Living Force All projectiles are pulled back to caster for 50% per rank DMG on return
-isnt Orb a projectile?

Mana Absorb Damage taken is converted into MP. This happens before any damage hits armor or resists.
-could you please explain how is this working? For example Monster Dealing 100dmg, i got 10%absorb. The result will be: +10hp for absorb and -90 as damage after that?
Permafrost Adds 10% Ice DMG per rank, and 7.5% DMG taken per rank is converted into to MP before you’re hit ( uses Mana Absorb stat ).
same story as in previous?

Resist Resists Enemy DMG based on the element. Damage After Resistance = Damage - ( Damage * ( Resist / ( Resist + 0.15 * Damage ) ) )
would be nice to see a bit more detailed explanation on this. Where to get this “base damage”? Is it something like “base monster damagemap leveldifficulty*anypotential affixes”?

Stun Chance Chance to stun an enemy for 3 seconds
-isnt this depending on monster rarity?

  • how is this interacting with “Cosmic Power - Time Warp adds 2.5% per rank of max MP to any projectile’s DMG that passes through the Time Warp” **I don’t use Time Warp, so I won’t pretend to know how it works. I do know however that you do still have a separate MP value even once it’s been turned into HP. Because if you were to add 25% Total HP and 25% Total MP with BM, you do not gain the same amounts from each affix.

**25% on everything except, 12.5% for epic enemies, 6.25% for legendary and mythic.

Some responses in your quote.

I dont think this is right as i’ve killed several mythic monsters and i’ve never seen any 6.25%(of remaining) crushed in one blow. imho this number is way lesser when it comes to high tier monsters

Well since there is no possible way to quantify this, you dont know how much hp a monster has to start with or at any given time, you can’t possibly know that nor can we verify any numbers. All we can go by atm is what it states, and that would be the numbers I gave.

you’re right… we dont know the numbers, but we can see the healthbar, isnt it? we can judge by that

Well that is a very small chunk, even at full health. That would become drastically smaller as they lose health. If you can differentiate those minute changes, than you sir have phenomenal eyesight. :smile:

nice image! as you can see it should be still a visible “chunk” and when i killed my last mythic monster at about lvl380 there were nothing like that… his bar was melting pretty much quickly but nowhere close to 6,25% of remaining in a crush-hit… and i deal a lot of them

It’s a skill for axe.

i have living force with an orb proc and it doesn’t pull it back. granted that it is 1.6 version but i don’t see a patch note of the orb being affected by living force

What i understand is living force only apply to normal attacks…(comet, barrage, pierce, in case of wiz) special attacks like orb doesnt affect LF…

Guys question for Blood Magic.

If i currently has 20000HP and 50000MP before using Blood Magic.
Does it mean that when i use item with blood magic,my HP will be 70000?
Considering there’s no +HP/MP to the both item.

Yup, that’s how it works

I think there’s something wrong with my char then. i has 20k+HP and 50k+ MP without Blood Magic.
And when i change one of my gear(no +HP or MP affix) to a gear with BMagic Affix i only came up with 50k+ HP.
So i tried changing my gears and use some in my bags to try if it really sum up my MP and HP,unfortunately still not.
I even came up with 30k+HP and 50k+ MP,but when i used Blood Magic affix i only came up with 50k+ HP. :confused:

Sir i has this screenshot

Im guessing somewhere you have affixes that add +MP%, whether it’s a standard affix or through Intelligence heroic skill. That would mess with your totals. It’s kinda complicated, but if you have Blood Magic on, and then added a +10% HP and a +10% MP affix, they aren’t going to give you the same amount of health. Its the order of the calculations that mess things up.


I would like to thank the thinkers that think they thunk the thoughts they theorized.

@anygma: Do you have any + total MP% affix? Because those + total MP won’t work with Blood Magic.

  • yes i have +MP%.

-i guess the MP% is working bcoz i tried to remove and replace the item (with MP%+) with affix that dont have any +MP% and my HP decreases so much.

-since zzvilzz and u told about the MP%,i tried changing my items which give me the idea. and yes i agree i think its somewhere in heroic skill or wizard talent (Empower: +% Power, -% Max HP) or the Points Stat ( POWER,HEALTH,MANA). im not so sure though.

-anyways thanks for help guys. @zzvilzz and @rubik
