Magic resistance reduces the damage of incoming magic damage by a percentage. This percentage is determined by the formula: Damage Reduction = total magic resistance ÷ (100 + total magic resistance). For example, a champion with 150 points of magic resistance would receive 60% reduced damage from magic damage.
Does armor rating affect magic damage?
There are several statistics which reduce damage; physical damage is mitigated by your Armor Rating and Elemental Resistances and Magic Resistance combine to help you weather elemental damage and magic damage (there is much overlap between the two).
How much magic damage does a magic resistance unit take?
This is called “effective health”. Example: A unit with 60 magic resistance has 160% of its maximum health in its effective health, so if the unit has 1000 maximum health, it will take 1600 magic damage to kill it.
How is physical damage mitigated in Magicka?
Magic Damage is mitigated with Spell Resistance. If a Skill uses Magicka it will deal Magic Damage unless the tooltip specifically states otherwise. Physical Damage is mostly from Weapon Skills (except Staffs) and Stamina morphs of Class Skills. Physical Damage is mitigated by Armor (also called Physical Resistance).
What kind of magic can you resist in RuneScape?
Resistance is a combat statistic that mitigates incoming magic damage and effects. Magic spells from the following five schools can be resisted from magical resistance: Fire, Frost, Arcane, Nature, and Shadow. There is no resistance stat for Holy, and as such no players nor NPCs can resist Holy spells.
What kind of damage does spell resistance mitigate?
This is not always the case, however, with several exceptions. The tooltips of abilities will normally state which kind of damage will occur. Armor mitigates Physical Damage including Bleed Damage and most melee close ranged attacks. Spell Resistance mitigates Magic Damage including Flame, Frost, Shock, Disease and Poison Damage.
