I think your numbers are off, but the idea is there.

I've read a post from the staff that resist metals doesn't completely cancel the elf iron/mithril vulnerability. They still take slightly higher damage than than what a human would without resist metal.

curious, what sort of RP are you talking about (n/t)	zoskia	September 19, 2011 03:39PM

There are ways to cover iron vuln. Quite easily, too. Ask around IC or something. nt	qurdind	September 19, 2011 06:23AM
My brain broke reading this entire sub-thread. You're all retarded. I am now stupider for having read this shit. (n/t)	Scrimbul	September 19, 2011 04:55PM
Unless you found "resist iron", then no. "Resist metals" doesn't count. nt	Isildur(VIP)	September 19, 2011 08:34AM

Well, this is different. If that's true, then the answer changes. But that's the point, either you cancel the vuln or no. Nothing else matters (for purposes of this thread). (n/t)	alansmithee	September 19, 2011 07:27PM
Okay.	Splntrd	September 19, 2011 11:42AM

Examine the definitions of vulnerable/vulnerability.	Matrik	September 21, 2011 04:02PM
The most important point here is the original statement "there are there ways to cover iron VULN" (n/t)	NbM(VIP)	September 21, 2011 02:53PM
Right. And with the preps mentioned, the elf is no longer vuln to iron. Period. Is he resistant to it? Does he have big ears? How big is red? None of that matters. Vuln is covered. Done. (n/t)	alansmithee	September 21, 2011 03:51PM
I'd say that due to the vuln, by exploiting it they can cut through your resist metal.	DurNominator(VIP)	September 21, 2011 06:36PM
Vulnerability means: Taking more damage from an attack relative to other types of attacks. (n/t)	Matrik	September 21, 2011 04:02PM

Humans have nothing to do with it.	Matrik	September 21, 2011 04:16PM
If your enemy has an elemental vuln, you have to check if they have a resist up before, or you'll be hitting a resist and be worse off. If they have a metal vuln, the best they can do is make it neutral, so there's no reason not to use it.~	ibuki	September 19, 2011 01:27PM

Again, you're not making sense. This has nothing to do with what someone else thinks.	alansmithee	September 19, 2011 02:05PM
"This is about being the elf", Yes, and nothing to with being a human.	Matrik	September 21, 2011 04:17PM
Yes, and when you resist metals, if the resistance is the same you don't take more damage from iron.	NbM(VIP)	September 21, 2011 04:35PM
How do you define "normal" damage, if not relative to other types of damage? Have you reviewed the term vulnerability? (n/t)	Matrik	September 21, 2011 04:37PM
Also, reviewing the term "relative" may be helpful in letting you understand the situation.	Matrik	September 21, 2011 04:43PM
Just to be devil's advocate	daurwyn(VIP)	September 19, 2011 02:48PM
If the resistance to metals protects the same exact amount as a standard elf iron vuln, then yes. (n/t)	NbM(VIP)	September 19, 2011 02:17PM
Please review the meaning of the term "vulnerability," both in and out of this context. (n/t)	Matrik	September 21, 2011 04:20PM
Right.	alansmithee	September 19, 2011 02:27PM
It's not resist metal.	bigben	September 19, 2011 11:03AM
Re: It's not resist metal.	Isildur(VIP)	September 19, 2011 11:15AM
It is sort of covered, but it's not a vuln turned into resist.	DurNominator(VIP)	September 19, 2011 09:16AM
Not much of an expert but...	Welverin	September 19, 2011 05:51AM
Eh, here are some counter points	Matrik	September 19, 2011 07:16AM

As far as I know, wood-elf has every problem elf does, but has a LOT more benefits when it comes to rangering.	vortexmagus	September 19, 2011 05:47AM
Hunter rangers are like pallies. Lots of 'oomph' but no way to keep them in combat. n/t	Forsooth	September 19, 2011 06:14AM
