CaptainChaos Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I really believe Nord Frost Resistance is broken - or at least doesn't stack with shield elemental protection. Admittedly, I am on Master, but I should get 80% resistance with both. I die far more quickly from frost than with fire when I have a necklace giving me 30% resistance plus 50% resistance from Block Elemental Protection. Anyone else encounter this? It appears bugged and is a bit frustrating to me. I wonder if I am missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utherix Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The Dark Elf Fire Resistance works. Havn't tested the Nord frost one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChaos Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Actually, now that I posted this, I am embarrassed to admit, it might be working properly, but I'm still not sure. On Master the frost dragons just do so much damage though. I happen to find an Ancient Dragon and save just before confronting it. I have almost 400 HPs and a full blast, without using the shield, seems to put me down to about 50hp, but using the shield consistently *appears* to be about 100 hps, after multiple reloads and tries. However, I should only be taking 20% damage - that still seems extreme. I am still curious if anyone has any thoughts on their own experience...

CaptainChaos Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Ok, I'm a Nord 50% cold resistance, I have a shield that is specifically 30% frost resistance, and I have the block perk of 50% resistance - that's 130% cold resistance, and I still take cold damage! THIS IS DEFINITELY BUGGED. Or there is a cap to resistance...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stars2heaven Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It's a bug with the last patch. I would suggest you go back to the 1.1 patch if you can, this last one has quite a few other bugs that you might run into as well that don't seem quite worth the fixes that it gives you....unless you go to lots of weddings and don't like the guests showing up dead...

CaptainChaos Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 On the Bethesda forum a few colleagues said the following as well - i dk if it's accurate but they believe: 1. There was always an 85% cap. 2. Shield 50% of damage was AFTER resistance. So if I had 50% Nord + 30% specific frost resistance = 80%. If 100 points of damage that would be 20 points suffered, THEN divided by 50% or 10 points of damage. 3. And they said 1.2 screwed i up also, but I wasn't sure by how much. Thanks everyone, I will keep you posted. If you confirm the above, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChaos Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 I have 90% resistance (or thereabouts) and took massive frost damage from a mage, even on Adept. This must be bugged. I cannot believe they haven't fixed something so fundamental already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
