Is it possible to evade magic attacks?

General Discussion

Pretty sure it was magic since his auto attack are most swinging his arm or weapon around. Canā€™t remember the name but he has this fire coming out from the ground and if I was just to stand there and get lucky, Iā€™m able to dodge every hit. Same goes to lightning.

For further clarification, his auto attack deal less damage than magic attack (normal attack is around 100 - 300 while magic is from 1000 to 3000). Plus, magic has always been a counter to any DEX/Evasion build since the dawn of MMO. I donā€™t see that as a problem and live with it.

Quite a few of those enemoes with magic looknig shots arenā€™t actually magic. They can be dodged or blocked.

#13

Anyone know anything about the resist that happens on monsters sometimes?
When i was playing on my psychokino and would freeze + ice blast, sometimes sassily snapping my fingers and the damage just doesnā€™t happen.

#14

Not all magic attacks are homing, and magic attacks from Bosses tend not to be as well.

My only complaint would be the difficulty in obtaining resistance against elementsā€¦ I think the only solution for now is a Sage Wall. :confounded:

#15

Full cloth set of armors and cloth armor mastery.

#16

LOL, no. This way I will take damage from both physical and magical. :scream:

#17

that is what dex forā€¦ or block

#18

I donā€™t have problem with bosses, as u said there is always a way to avoid the attack (dodge or jump or run). But some monstersā€™ magic attack are just unavoidable. Same happened with me at mage tower.

#19

It makes sense. Maybe that is the caseā€¦ Once they target meā€¦ death awaits haha.

Anywayā€¦ I tried putting a little bit CON and them SPR, not much difference. The thing is, if I invest in CON my HP just gets bigger and them I lā€™m able to live longer but it is not what I want.
Isnā€™t it some sort of bug? This magic attack that follows you forever even if the ā€œarea of attackā€ (range?) of the monster is far away?

#20

Not really, itā€™s just a different approach. Rates arenā€™t very reliable, at least not for me.

Plain high physical and magic defense, thatā€™s my goal. (The physical is OK already.)

#21

I love how they build this game in such way.

Making derp face watching the full dex build Swordie/Archer running like headless chicken in Main Chamber.

#22

contrary to what most people have said there is a way to ā€˜nullā€™ it

Resist Elements can ā€˜nullā€™, assuming it means take no damage, elemental damage (exculding light and dark magic) at 15% chance at max level.

#23

Iā€™m obsessed with Resist Element 15 + Increase Magic Defense 10.

#24

lol Such a bad person.
Anyway, Iā€™m not full dex and yet I do run like a crazy chicken trying to avoid those spells. STR=DEX and about 20 points SPR and CON each to enhance recovery.

#25

I made a new char swordie after I hit my wall at 178 necro so lazy to grind there.

So this time it is my turn to become a chicken :smiley:

#26

Wait, what? Homing magic definitely CAN be dodged, granted your level is around the same as the mob and you have enough evasion.

Peltasta... May or may not be good
#27

according to reddit thread, slithering rank2 rodelero skill allows you to evade magic damage, but not status effect

#28

Only if the projectile itself isnā€™t actually classified as Magic (and believe me, a lot of homing ā€œmagicā€ is really physical and can be blocked/evaded.)

As posted above, the only way to legit evade ACTUAL magic attacks is Rodeleroā€™s Slithering and Paladinā€™s Resist Element, the latter of which is only a chance for a specific element, but has the bonus of being a buff and not a channeling stance.

#29

Thatā€™sā€¦ quite confusing. Guess logic isnā€™t this gameā€™s best aspect.

#30

Cleric safety zone prevent all damage, but sometimes not the push back effect
