Mids doesn't account for Diminished Returns when showing your totals. That 70% becomes 20% VERY quickly. Unless you're in an arena match with DR turned off, you won't see those numbers.
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict
Okay..I read a bit about that in Paragon Wiki. But I'm still not completely sure how will it work. Can someone just tell me quickly how it works? Just to simplify things let's suppose I only have Shark Skin and no other sources of resistance buffs. Does DR directly reduce the buff from Shark Skin even though it's a toggle?
No, it depends on AT. But in generall, pvp res for squishies is about 40%, shields add to it a lot, however when DR hits your global res everything reduces to about 38-43% res to all. On squishy you could pop 10 oranges you would still have about same res under DR enviroment. Different works for melee, stalkers etc.
It is very rought number but you can count with that the number you get in Mids will get supressed by DR by about 30-40% (again depends on what kind of attribute, what AT and their AT limitations: squishy can ever barey get over 20% def stalker however can get twice as much if not more).
hmm...Alright. Thanks for the response.
Yeah for PvP.. I throw Mids out the window..
Would be nice if accurate but come on the Devs don't even know how DR fully works except it working as intended
Hahaha. I guess my best solution is just check with some PvPer friends and let them talk a look at my builds, or post them here :P
First of all, I'd like to point out that I'm extreme newbie and noob when it comes to PvP.
Second of all, my real question. I'm trying to plan out a quick build to try out PvP with a friend of mine. According to Mids a squishy toon (Corruptor in this case) will get a respectable boost to all resists when they enter PvP mode. And also all Epic shields will provide protection against ALL damage types instead of just the regular 2-4 types.
So..according to what I'm looking at in Mids right now if I take a resist based epic shield (Shark Skin) and slot it with 2 resist IOs I will have 70%+ resist to all kinds of damage.
Honestly, I'm a little skeptical of that. I know there are extremely few mistakes/bugs in Mids...but still this is just looking a tad bit ridiculous to me to be able to soft cap resists to easily. And I've never tried Mids with PvP before so I'm not sure how accurate is it on that.
So, can someone confirm/deny this for me please? Thank you very much
