Regarding Magic Defense and Property Resistance

Hello guys!
Im having doubts regarding the mechanics of magic defense and property resistance. Example:

  1. I have 300 SPR and i get pardoner’s “Increase Magic Defense” lvl 5. It means i get 110+SPR (300), so 410. What does it mean? It’s straight up reduction from a magic damage?
  2. What about Property resistance? Like paladin’s “Resist Elements” that give at lvl 5, 49 resistance.

Generally Magic defense and property resistance are a straight subtraction of that amount of damage taken in pve. This is due to the fact that most pve enemies don’t actually have a multiplier on their attacks.

In pvp it is a bit different. Many skills have a multiplier. For example lets say a player casts a quickcasted meteor at you. That skill will have a 600% damage modifier applied after atk - def is calculated. Therefore in this case 410 magic defense would actually reduce the attack by 2460. Since Meteor is fire if you had 49 fire resistance it would be reduced by 294 also.

hi, so if i understand this right…

player recieving damage: 100 m. defense, 100 fire resistance.

Meteor: 1 000 damage (base), 600% modifier.

(1000 - 200) x 6 = 4800 damage?
