Not sure I can do aura, but I'll go re-test stoneskin, shield and resist element, and log the whole thing. Unless the staff has tinkered with the numbers since a few years ago when I tested this stuff, what I posted is accurate (*).

(*) Since the amount of damage I was using to test was pretty small, it was not possible to get "exact" percentages, depending on how they do the rounding. All I could do is narrow it to a certain range.

Suppose I knew way to do exactly 20hp damage to myself. I eat a prep, and now I only take 15hp damage. That looks like 25% dam redux. However, if the calculate damage by truncating the decimal portion, then it could actually have been 15.99 hp. Or if they use the ceiling, then it could have been 14.01 hp. So the actual range is "between 20% and 30%".

In the case of my actual testing, the ranges I came up with were:

aura/shield: 16.67% to 23.33%
resist element: 30% to 36.67%
stoneskin/bardresist: 20% to 26.67%

What I can definitively say (again, unless they've tinkered with it since I did my testing) is that resist element definitely gives more damage reduction than stoneskin/bardresist, and that stoneskin/bardresist definitely gives more damage reduction than aura or shield.

enyuu April 15, 2008 05:47AM

You can buy pass door in a city.

The Forsaken(VIP) April 15, 2008 07:33AM

Udgaard has one. Tir-talath has one if udgaard isn't safe.~

Krilcov April 15, 2008 08:17AM

Cool. Never knew about Tir-talath. nt

There are some gatherable pass door spots too. nt

Here's what I usually carry around.

Krilcov April 14, 2008 08:42AM

Good shout on pass door. I left that off the list.

Your numbers for prep dam redux are wrong.

_Magus_ April 14, 2008 07:38AM

They're pretty much right, though, for the most part.

Isildur(VIP) April 14, 2008 08:11AM

I use cure poison / disease preps against shamans/AP/necros quite often.

Imho - dam redux amount doesn't fluctuate, duration does...

Yhorian(VIP) April 15, 2008 05:58AM

Bard resist is higher than that. ~

_Magus_ April 14, 2008 09:45AM

Only for the bard is it more damage redux, Isildur is spot on otherwise. n/t

Guy April 14, 2008 10:19AM

Ah, that must be it. Never paid attention to other people's dam redux. ~
