Defense vs. Damage Resistance

Nightmarer · 08-07-2007 06:29 AM

Heya,

I have read in some threads and also have heard some people mentioning things along the lines of:

5% defense is equivalent to 10% dmgres

I am not sure I can follow that, I mean, is there any kind of formula to it or is it more a concept thing?
I am sorry, I just can't relate defense and dmg resistance that way.
Any help please?

Here's an old post from the US boards. A little out of date, but the underlying mechanics have not changed.
