Passive Earth resist to match the other 3 corners of Elemental magic.

We have a passive resist in 3 of the 4 corners of elemental magic. A passive resist to Earth to match Fire Proof, Blue Blooded, and Well Grounded would go a long way.

What would you call it?
Salt of the Earth
Down to Earth
Entrenched
etc.?

 

Crusty

 

I can get 320 earth resist damage from warding, natural attunement, potions and gear..... don´t see the point to more.... we need a resist cap for elemental/magic besause its too easy counter mages in duels., being immune or almost immune to a specific elemental... something impossible to do against physhical damage.

 

I'd agree with you Joe, but I can't, I've seen that chaos, earth combo melting people with decent resist.

If people like Sara Dreygon want to take magic attunement in everything up, then ward in each tree, then take the tactics warding, I say more power to them for making spells bounce off like nothing. It forces a mage to take different approaches.

But I stand by the earth passive resist rounding out the other 3 trees that do have magic resist passives, it's beneficial for those of us that want to be able to cast, but also want to resist without that tactics ward.

 

the issue is not earth magic... is the 0 cast rate... the high level chaotic + wicked kings shield give... that works perfeclty with polearm too... in my opion all warding skills should be removed

 

lolwut?

 

5 stacks of refrain of resist five you: +60
elemental potion: +35
120 in 10 earth skills: +60
Specific warding level 100: +50
Warding in rings.. weapons and neck: +60
Warlock chain: +15
Artifacts and obsidian gear: +50

330 earth resist

 

We can do better. With a passive earth resist that matches the other 3 corners, we can get that number higher, and that would benefit people who want to cast, but don't want tactics warding, and prefer pvp to be weapon and position based.

The other 3 corners have passives, I'm just asking for the 4th corner so the foundation is solid.

There's no reason to not have it. The other 3 have a passive.

 

you don´t need tactis warding to get +330 and without a passive resist... water for example now its ridiculous you can have 400+ water resistance and a speced water mage with a 6 stacked ice arrow damage that have 450 - 1050 base damage dealing 200 in critical hits....this totally ruin mage in pvp.

 

It won't ruin magic, if that were the case, then magic has been ruined since pre-launch because of the fire, air, and water passives.

 

Tell me how a 200 crit is bad when the common life bar sits around 1000? Do we need to be able to one shot and melt each other for the game to be fun? I argue that is the opposite of fun. I want to see longer, more strategic battles. That would be more fun than these turbo firing mega crit-ing melt builds. This isn't fun.

 

i have 2100 health as a fire mage dude... and regen is above 200/second.. .well telling you wont help.. you can test it...go with a mage build and ill ward against you can see by yourself.... i can be just a test if you dont want to pvp...


And 200 with a critical damage from a 6 stack skill that have 450 - 1050 base damage is ultrageous

 

How does one get 2000 health?

 

Heavy armor, Strength and Health enchants/masterworks, bludgeon weapons. Those are the main sources. Not sure how he gets that much as a mage, but as a warrior I usually hovered around 2.1k-2.4k

Some good stuff done today. Hot key to show all dry plants from a distance, water will be used at 1/10th the rate for planting/watering, soft cap added to draw speed and cast speed, and some bug fixes along the way.

Curious what that cap will be... Seen any info on that?

 

Nvm, he answered in the thread :

 

This for sure. I am only level 92 with heavy, blades and shield and can get close to 1600 HP. Over with enchants, potions, food, blessings etc.

 

Death mages will often get their HP that high, usually with at least the chest being heavy (white iron is a popular choice). That gives health through the Inner Strength heavy armor glyph as well. Remember that we can also stack 600 health just in food buffs these days, though there are usually better choices in my opinion. Similarly I almost always get my health through strength masterworks and enchants rather than through health mw/enc. (Currently fighting as a death mage with about 1550 health in all cloth)

 

I always wanted to show off, here is my opportunity


That being said, If you give me the choice between a critical hit of 2,000 or 200, I will choose the 200 to make the PVP way longer.
Right now the PVP can be resumed to `confusion`, `torpid` and some hits while spinning around at an incredible speed... and this is just not fun.
