Damage Resistances for Bashing

QistrelQistrel the hemisemidemifink
edited November 2015 in Q&A
So, here are Nikkakorra's resistances. Level 95 Undead fink ninja-monk with tattoos, psychometabolism, aether construct and potions + kirigami up. I don't have a proofed coat or cloak though, and no defensive curios. I'm wondering, what would be the best to go for, hunting-wise? Do I shore up poison with a coat and asphyx/psychic with a curio, or just try to push up magic/cold/fire to 10? I mostly hunt in the undervault, tunnel trash and kephera (though possibly not the greatest idea to be hitting kephera with a blunt weapon). I I have unusual realm times with few people around, so tend to go solo hunting, and astral is a bit much for me. Any other good places to solo? And what kind of damage types would I be expecting there?

    Hey.

    not so sure about resistances, but about places to hunt, good has found me this a while ago and I think it's still mostly adequate: http://forums.lusternia.com/discussion/487/level-guide-to-hunting

    Can you post the FULL output?

    Your resistances are pretty decent. I'd probably focus more on damage/crits in terms of spending. That said, poison > asphyx > fire == cold, imo.

    Here, though the output will look a bit funny on the forums. Just realised that adding magic proofing won't actually increase my magic res, as it's capped at 8 currently.

    You can get more universal resists by joining a cult (devoutshield), and getting truefavours. Ambermalt as well, though I suggest darkbrew over that.

    For proofings, I'd probably do fire and cold. Or cold and electric if you plan to pk.

    So, my cold resistance isn't going to 10...am I misunderstanding something about how they work or is this bug? Black Crypt is listed twice because it's supposed to be 1/7 to everything, and an extra 1/7 to cold (plus -2/-8 to divinus).

    Is it adding up to 8/7, capping it to 7/7 and then adding the 2/10? Is that how it's meant to work?

    Yes. Because all of those have no greater than /7 so none of them can push you higher than 7/7. The 2/10 can obviously, and it pushes you to 9/10. To get another point you need something that is either /8, /9, /10 or an artifact.
