how to balance between armor and resistance elements for tank builds? and at least what is the value of each armor and resist? My build has a very low armor value, but it has enough resistance, but I don’t think it’s overall enough to last long in the arena
I tested it with Wizzard barrage, and the result is still more than 5k/tick damage the result of my overall tank build is 300k+HP and 500 power in the arena
Here is it
you actually have more Armor than Resist. the down side for Armor is that some Trinkets for PVP reduce Armor by a % (Armor Piercing Affix), so most Players go with All Resist.
Legend Ignore Resist doesn’t work in Battle Arena, so you don’t have to worry about it, but I did read that Weaken works in PVP, but that’s a damage boost. not sure how it would work in PVP, but now I think I need to do a test with the Test Dummy soon to see if it really works.
there is a formula in the Codex that shows how to figure out how much damage reduction you get from Armor & Resist.
@Golem I still don’t understand how armor and all resist work , as far as I play in the arena in the top 3 division I found a lot of battle mages that actually have HDR like the account belonging to the legend Kachan, the strongest battle mage I met was his… I won easily against char AI kachan with just 1 way, only when I used the barrage wizz, because my tank warrior set lost to him if I competed for strength and endurance
I spent a lot of time and gems tinkering with how to make a tank that is balanced like them, but unfortunately I always fail hahaha
Armor for PVE: (you would need to figure out your AR & Resist for level 20 Items and then do the math as below).
Enemy Level in Battle Arena is 20.
Enemy Level in PVE is Floor / 2.
Damage - (Damage x (Armor / (Armor + (Enemy Level) x 1000)))).
Damage - (Damage x (79,500 / (79,500 + (20 x 1000)))) (I had to google the math to get this part right)
Damage - (Damage x (79,500 / (79,500 + 20,000)))
Damage - (Damage x (79,500 / 99,500))
Damage - (Damage x 0.8) (it’s actually 0.79899497897, so I just rounded up).
Resist for PVE: (same as for Armor, unless your Element Resists have different values against a player using Prismatic Talent or Ascendant Set, or different Elements on their MH & OH).
Damage - (Damage x (Resist / (Resist + (Enemy Level) x 100))))
Damage - (Damage x (51,300 / (51,300 + (20 x 100))))
Damage - (Damage x (51,300 / (51,300 + 2000)))
Damage - (Damage x (51,300 / 53,300))
Damage - (Damage x 0.96) (it’s actually 0.96247654784, so I just rounded it to 0.96).
I ask for how to make AI to deff,not a build for push rank
I tested my defender with my 2nd account its not enough strong,when i gain all ressist,the armor is weak,when i balance both,the HP is low,the power in same number is 500+
So many tanker from battle mages build,i meet 1 harder person to be kill,its kachan’s AI
His AI have good ressist,armor and strenght
I tested with bleed type warrior,but the effect off dot dont work well,ive tested with crit type the dmg not bang bang,only barrage type i can kill his AI easy
His AI crafted well
