Talk:Elemental Resistance

can Stone Striker not remove all the disadvantages of this skill, or would physical blows still count towards the - armour, even though they cause earth damage?

Basically Yes, since it will make it do elemental damage, but if youre going to run stone striker its better to run mantra of earth over this and just use armor of earth for the armor boost

That would depend on your investment in Inspiration Magic. If you have a lot, Mantra of Earth will reduce more than this. If you have 0, this would work better in that sense. Though, the alternative pays back energy. 71.127.159.233 01:19, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Works like Cracked Armor

As i stated in the article the secondary effect doesn't reduce AR below 60. If you want, i can show you some proof. Heino 21:34, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Please think at least once before reverting -.- i tried it out several times and it actually works like cracked Heino 21:36, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

List your method for checking. --JonTheMon 21:37, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I got an assassin atacking me with malicious strike while under a condition. This produces a crit which always does the same damage. I lost exactly the same amount of health with my mesmer when using elemental resistance han when not using it. If you want, try it out for yourself.

Got hit with el. res. on

and without

And did you check it on a warrior? --JonTheMon 22:10, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I did, he lost armor through ER. If you want i can show you some proof tomorrow... Heino 22:13, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, more accurately, I wanted to know if it took off a set or scaled amount of armor. --JonTheMon 22:16, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Bugged in combination with Cracked Armor

For people who are really interested in bugs, Physical Resistance and Elemental Resistance are bugged even more in combination with Cracked Armor. This bug, however, seems too narrow and difficult to explain in a short bug notice that I have not included it on the Physical/Elemental Resistance article pages. udas 02:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
