Today in rvr I saw some enemy with around 60% slash resist (was not savages).
I've never seen something like that, is that some group realm ability/skill I don't know?
I though to bof, but bof raise only ABS and not resist. The same day they used bof and I didn't saw this resist increase

Here the screenshots:

Target are healer and shaman. Mid chain got slash resist, but from 26% to 60% I think the malus is a bit high

I have a theory about absorb being calculated into the shown resistance when attacking

this would explain a lot of the wierd "resist rates" people have

like 60% resistance

was this guy alone?
if yes: was he fulltank (warrior, fian, armsman)
if no: was he in group with a fulltank?

sounds like ''soldiers barricade''
raise absorb for 5%, 15%, 25% from melee (and if daocpedia is right than also for magic).

but its Absorb buff

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or was it an archer with PD or AM (avoidance of magic)
thats the only RA´s for resists.

or the mentored BoF..
also Absorb buff

it's a healer.

edit: the second one is shaman

Read before post.
They were healer and shaman.

I inced them later and they used bof, and I didnt see these resist, but normal high abs (I saw like 80(-30))


I forgot, yes they were in fg.

isnt it the rez sickness?

If it would be rezz sick u would do less dmg before** resistance applies.

If BoF, SD and ABS-Buff(BD) arent displayed as Resistence, then there is a bug at hand.

looks like a focus shell to me + ablativ proc/charge.
(41 Aug sham,46 enhancement cleric,47 nurture druid)

the sham focus shell should provide 70% absorb (after resists) .
The other possibilities would be the Healer RA Barrier of Fortitude (BOF 10%/20%/40%) or Soldiers Barricade(Warrior / 5%/ 15%/25%) aswell.
your weapon type(slash) should be neutral to chain armor.

the thing is that all this would show unique message

Focus shell should display a blue line absorbing damage.
Also, one of the target was shaman in a fg with only 1 shaman, and shaman cannot cast spirit shell on himself.

Bof, Sd, ablative should raise abs and not resist. I repeat again: in same inc they used later bof, and I read the normal abs increase, so it wasn't BOF or SB.


My weapon type was blade, mid chain is strong vs blade, so I had 26% of resist +malus, malus seems to be 34% more or less.

26% from items.
10% because Chain is resistant against slash damage.
Maybe racial resists 2% or 3%?
So that's a possible 38% or 39% without RAs.

Only way (i know of) to get more than that would be PD, but i am to tired to look up if healers and shamans can spec that.

They cant spec PD.

Lol you hit with this negative valor because you have rez sickness!

You are mixing it up ~Merlinum.

He made the screen after* he died. So of course the screens shows a rezz sick icon (background shows frontier gate).

But during the fight -> no rezz sick (where he dealt that amount of dmg).

Also res-sick would lower your damage but not increase the resists of your opponents ...
