56% slash resist - Phoenix Freeshard

This is a serious question as I'm trying to educate myself. I just fought a Celt Nightshade, and was doing damage like 46 (-58) on a Garrote and 94 (-120) on hamstring. That is 56% slash resist by my calculation.

I can account for

26% templated resist
3% Celt ratial
10% Hib leather armor vs slash

But where would the other 17% slash resist come from? Any ideas? I couldn't find any potions or buffs that would do it, but I'm not familiar with Hib classes so much. Can rangers get Physical Defense RA? Because my hunter doesn't seem to have it available. Is there any other source of slash resist available?

That was a Ranger

A bit more info. Fought him again, and the first few hits were showing the 39% resist I'd expect such as 144 (-92). But then I started seeing numbers like 78 (-99). Is there a reactive proc or a spell or potion that will up melee resists by 15+%?

He procced an ablative. You can see the resisted amount is the same.

Ablatives absorb 75 damage per hit.

78+75=153 damage total on the swing.

99/153= ~.64

92/144= ~.64

Yeah, I just figured that out, thanks for confirming. I thought ablative would show up as a separate absorb, but I guess it shows up as part of resists.

Ablative shows up as its own spell. Default is blue/purpleish in color and shows before your damage.

It does. It says something like "a magic barrier absorbs 75 damage" or something like that.

It's calculated AFTER resists.

So if you hit someone for 300 damage, and they have 30% resist, the calculation is

(300*.7) -75 = 135.

But you'll still see 135(-90) in the log which will make it seem like 40% resists, which isn't the case.

Hib reinforced armour (what a Ranger wears) is resistant to slash by 10%, Celt race gets another 3% slash resist.

OP mentioned those resist in his opening post.
The topic was also thoroughly explained and solved by commenters above you.

your comment was irrelevant, instead of simply stating that, i left you an option to explain why you felt to mention that information and how it improves the discussion.

I am not trolling you....not everything is about you

Yet you manage to jump all over my ass but no one else's when information is double-posted. This is a message board, it happens, get over it.

I remember you used to be helpful and cool, now you're like this. What happened? Did someone run over your dog or something?

i didn't even check who it was before making my first comment...maybe there were a few coincidneces, maybe you are in a bad mood an seeing something that isn't there.

I'll just leave it as that, no hard feelings man

Use your Thrust spear vs the hib stealth, not Slash.
If you're sword spec, I guess you're out of luck.

Nightshades are way too powerful on this server and need to be hit with the nerf stick repeatedly.
