Hmm. Interesting, I didnt really think it was fire, but after thinking back a bit. I may agree with ya.

It is. I can't remember who, but someone posted a spreadsheet a few weeks back that had all enemies' resistances. Fire was the least resisted by a fair margin.

We sure on this? Is there stats for NPCs somewhere that confirms this? Have heard this before elsewhere but also heard years ago it was psy and based on AT builds I woulda guessed neg is in the running somewhere.. neg nrg res is hard to come by unless you /dark an even then they don't res neg like /elec ressists nrg.

ahh, anyone know where to find this spreadsheet? My search-fu is pretty lame.

I'd say fire or cold, the thing about cold is it's more likely to have smashing/lethal attached to it than fire.

Psi is more resisted than Smashing - not by as many things, but by much larger percentages when it is resisted, so making the overall resistance higher. It was only "least resisted" when talking about PvP, and that was a while back.

Here's a post with a breakdown by various levels of the different resistances. Note that the number listed is what the damage is multiplied by, so higher numbers are less resistance; and here is a post with overall resistances to the different types across all mobs as a whole.

Depending on whether or not you count GMs, AVs, and objects it's either Energy or Fire, although those two types and negative are all very close. Lethal, Toxic, and Psi are the most resisted, with Psi being the most resisted in the 40+ game.

Nice TY for the links. I never woulda guessed toxic is amongst highest ressisted, all the trouble my ATs have had with toxic lol

I went through Culex's spreadsheet a couple days ago when I saw that thread, and I pulled the following:

First column is all the entities with some form of resistance or vulnerability to the damage type. The second column counts every entity in the game within the given level range. So, for example, a lvl50 Psi user fighting resistance/vulnerable foes will be running up against ~37% resistance. For all lvl50+ enemies, that average is 87%. So it's not often resisted, but when it is, it's very significant.

This makes Energy look like the real winner, though personal experience is that fire is the most consistent. (The numbers could also be skewed by enemies you don't fight a lot, but do show up. Praetorians, for example, would be in this range, but outside of a few story arcs, you'll never run into them again.)


[edit: Oh yeah, Toxic sucks.]

It's definitely not Psionic as described in the game!!!

I am annoyed with 50+

Ps 63% 87%

Those robots... ugh

Everything burns. Eventually.
