EnaiSiaion Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 I have several spellcaster bosses that attack exclusively with magic damage. Therefore I need to know how much hp and magic resistance a typical fed character has and at what level. Thanks. :)
TwilightDB Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Hee hee, define "typical fed character"? On that note, I would think that is based on people's own personal preferences to how they prefer to deal with such bosses. For myself, I wear a ton of high level fire, frost, magic, poison and shock resistance items as i find or make them (helpful, especially if the items are double enchanted ones) then top off with health regeneration items. Once, you've hit 100% resistance to any spell attack; it's pretty much comes down to clubbing each other over the head with a stick. In my case, archery is my preferred weapon of choice so location is extremely important to me as well as my level of sneaking.
Lord Garon Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Short answer: the maximum possible If you're using "fed" in the way I think you are, my purpose-built-for-high-difficulty Breton mages are almost impervious to magic early on (standing stones, Alteration perks, elemental and magic resist gear, wards, quest rewards) and they only take health until around level 20 or 25. Then I'll get some more magicka (if needed), maybe a little extra stamina for running away, then go back to health only at high levels. Most "high difficulty" settings/mods simply result in trying to avoid 1-shots (with a no-armor mage). Stealth characters don't really have problems with particular MOB types; its all about the same for them. I guess melee types have the hardest time since I like to play "pure" classes and avoid magic school perks with melee types. I take equal health/stamina and rely on fast closing (shouts or sprinting) to take care of mages. I'll wear frost/magic resist gear that I find if it has large resist values and matches my armor set. For melee characters, a good offense is the best defense. Without enchanting, my melee guys NEED shouts and training every level. They HATE frost magic. I do play hardcore, so that drastically impacts my character builds and initial quest lines; surviving is the name of the game. Literally.
