I'm about 90% certain that res_neg is only going to give you damage resistance. With my shamans I often had a semi-hard time landing ED on well-geared targets

It's a money maker and kill sealing ability for sure, but I usually had to lead off with a curse/lucky damnation -svs to get the energy drain spam going. I'd say if the target had good svs I was only landing 1 out of 3 or so. I'm rather surprised that you're being troubled with -70 svs. Are any of the preps you're using cutting into your svs? Or did he land a lucky damnation/curse combo on you?

That said, if you're being hit with energy drain spam then it sounds like he's cutting off your retreat. So you've likely already lost the fight.

EDIT: I can't type.

INT matters a ton

I dunno. I find it hard to believe that 15 int + -100 saves is that bad.

TheShamanman December 12, 2016 08:07AM

That's Gromm vs Jermet experience

Kstatida December 12, 2016 08:13AM

That could just be elevated casting level.

Rhyaldrin December 12, 2016 08:16AM

^ this. Plus IIRC Gromm was deadly but also died a good amount. Like, half of Jermys spells would have been con checks on you. SVS isn't doing anything there. (n/t)

TheShamanman December 12, 2016 08:20AM

Yeah, makes sense (n/t)

Resist Negative should help, other than that, svsp. (n/t)

I wasn't quite sure, cause it seems after the resist change of a year ago or so, it only affects damage. With energy drain I dont care about the damage, its the halving mana/moves that I care about. (n/t)

Spronti December 11, 2016 09:57AM

You may be right about the resist negative part...I'm not 100% surr on how resists might affect saves (n/t)

bloodmoon December 11, 2016 10:51AM

To clarify, that's ASFAIK. (n/t)
