need help with Resist..

[Bulor]

Antigunn (my pbae SM) has finally earned the option for crafted armor..but i need to know which are the best resists to put points into..

Crush
Thrust
Slash
Body
Spirit
Heat
Cold
Matter
Energy

which ones are the least important for a caster.. which are the most.. which should i not even bother putting points into?

also, WTF does focus do? is it enough that i have 50 supp on my TG staff? or do i need like to cap that shit?

[Bulor]

bastards.. i see you all surfin the boards... i see your names afk at the bottom... ANSWER ME!!

[Seventhorn]

darn you caught me.....ill post what i know. Resists......they dont work dont waste your time!!


hahaha j/k....actually not really.

But if you want to do resists. then max you can effectively do that the game will recognize is 26% so says mythic. So dont go over 26% anything else would be a waste of points. I would cap out all melee damages like crush/thrust/slash cause your a mage and melees primary come for you. Then those being the most important I would move onto mezzing resists Body/spirt/energy. Try to get those to max if not then put some points in them. The rest just scatter points. Basically if your going to get blasted then your going to die. You want to live so you want to get mellee resists up and then mezzing resists. Or you can flip those two and see what is better suited to your playstyle.

It might be the mezz reisists primary. Have fun but I tell you they dont work anyways.

All of them! You should max every single resist. You should also have your piety, dex, constitution maxed as well.

This is probably doable with 99% crafted armor. Won't cost much for cloth. Go read the VN Midgard Mystic boards. Someone must have posted a SC template there.

[Kaldz]

A caster can cap all resists and con/dex/pie with SC 99% gear, DF stuff and SI quest items.

Beaded Resisting Stones are from the Ancestral Secrets quest. They will be made widely available after 1.60 (assuming 1.61).

Ring of Spun Silk is the first reward from the Dark Places of the Soul quest (4 rewards total). The quest comes out in 1.60. It starts in Fort Veldon, talk to Idonna. The first few rewards are easy to solo as a 50.

Bloodbound Book drops off of Kariig and Desukva in malmohus (named svartalfs). Easy duo.

Runed Cloak of the Trolls is an intermediate reward in the Stoneheart Quest, talk to Jago in Dyrfjell.

The Health Choice and Left Axe Choice bracers are from Catla's Downfall. Talk to Medana in Dyrfjell. Easy duo.
