kradus Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 If I have a shield with 51% Fire and Frost resistance + boots with 51% Frost resistance + necklace with 51% Fire resistance, will I become immune to these? Also I gave each of the blades a necklace and a ring with 51% Fire and Frost resistance, why do they still go down from dragon breath attacks? Is it not possible to stack elemental resistances and become immune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modder3434 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 for the player and the npc's you can only get up to the 80-85 resistance cap. so most of the damage of the attack should be absorbed, but just enough to take a little health from you. it has to do with balancing, otherwise people would be walking gods.... and the thalmor would have to put you down! hope i helped.

TimF Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Max resistance is 80%, so any number beyond that is actually wasted (153% and 73% wasted in your case) However, shield with elemental aegis allows this to be reduced by 50% again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguliondew Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Yea unless you are using Deadly Dragons their is no point in getting your resist to above 80%. You can have magic resist and fire/frost/lighting resist to reduce damage since they stack (multiplicative). So if someone hits you for 300dmg fire damage, 60% magic resist would reduce it to 120 and with 50% fire resist would reduce it to 60dmg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kradus Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Im using the more powerful dragons mod, they kill you with 1 shout, so I decided to go with the plan anyway. I figured the health regen in my chestplate would compensate the damage and it has. Killed 2 dragons, elder and ancient, they never stood a chance as my heath bar never dropped bellow 80%. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
