Magic resistance skills on the way

Chris mentioned today that tomorrow he will beginw orkign on a resistance-only skill for each magic tree that lwoers the attunment for that tree but increases resistance to that magic.

He also mentioned possibly adding a skill in tactics that increase all magic resistance but decreases all magic attunment \o/

 

Show me the math!

xP

 

I love it...I swear I failed on a mining node with 100% chance for success yesterday

The Tactics one creates a race of Muggles

 

Fromw hat i heard its gonna raise your resist for that tree but reduce attunment in the opposite tree, but tis gonna be located in the opposite tree from the skills it resists.

Like the ice resistance skill will be int he fire tree, it will raise ice resistance but reduce fire attunment

 

I hope that's not how it will work, because melee will still need to have attunement for the important resists on top of the resist skill. It would make a lot more sense if attunement resist and resist skill were mutually exclusive for each tree, either by lowering attunement in the same tree or something else. Then non-mages could have an alternate route to resist without raising the ceiling

 

He briefly mentioned something about this about a year ago and up until a few months ago I stopped asking him about it. I'm really excited.

I just hope that when I go to unlearn these magic tress and put the xp in the resist skills I'll have xp left to play with.

 

This is nice. Thanks for reporting

 

Did he say anything if this resistance stacks with res provided by attunement?

 

I actually hope it just goes to the highest of both values, this way you can go one or the other!

 

Agree, it would be lame having mage with double magic resistance

 

It does he said, but the way he talked about implimenting it seemed like if you trained it up, it woudl essentially jsut replace your attunment with resistance, but resistance for the opposite tree


like it would be located int he sun tree, but give you 50 moon resistance, but take away 100 sun attunment So if you don't wanna GM 10 magic skills to get 50 resistance you don't have to, and if your a fire mage and don't care about water skills, you can further beef up your fire resistance by nuking your water attunment.

 

One thing attunbment does (and he did mention this too) is negate the affects of your opponents attunment so you wouldn't have that with just the resistance.

Another thing is like, if you want deathr esistance you have to nuke your life attunment.

Let me just see if I can find the clip so yall can interpret it too.

 

Would be better if it is in the same tree of the school you want the resistance.
For example i am water spec, if I get rid of all my fire attunement i can take water res, if it is cumulable with my water attunement it could be lame.
Isn't it how it should work or have i misunderstood?
If a death mage wants life resistance should him get rid of death attunement? It has not too much sense for me.

So just fast forward to 7 minuites on todays stream (the sudnay stream ith atos) and that's where he starts talking about attunment and the new resist skills

 

He also said something about a skill in the tactics tree that would do this for all magic - basically a 'I don't do magic' skill

 

I hope they keep this balanced.

 

Thank you, I ll take a look.

 

@Arkah EMPstrike So in min 11:24 seems like he said: "Increasing your life wardiing in the death tree will give you negative attunement in life and positive life resistance"

Sounds good for me, if it is done in this way is great.

 

That sounds a lot better and im all on board. I counted and its actually 70 skills you need to level up to get resistance tward meteor swarm, death ray, ice arrow, stone arrow, Lightning, Fire stuff, Searign ray which ive all been nuked by in PvP. Sicne I don't like using magic It was a chore to try to motivate myself to level all that stuff so this makes me SUUUUUUUUUPER happy \o/

 

Will any of this be relevant for pve?
