Encouragement question

[The Rock-man]

nesmar, i am not sure really. But it appears that mob is ever 100% resistance to primary damage (poison may be the only exception in the case of undead).

[nesmar]

just from looking at vanilla TQ skills 16% lower resists is weak. Plague, trance of wrath, squall, and study prey lower resists by 30-50%.

maybe a flat 16 would be useful.

[The Rock-man]

Study prey, Necrosis and plague are all flat resist decreases.
The rule of thumb is any -% resist that names a type what ever it is, are really flat resist decrease.

The real -% resists are squall and tow which both do electric damage and have -30% and -32% at there max level. These are the only % decrease resist skills in the game. ToW does 45 dps as well before the resist reduction and has perma skill disruption Squall does ~45 dp tick and mastery int bonus this is ~55 dpt and adds 100% impaired aim and 30% damage reduction. So from this point of veiw Battle Aura is better at 64 dpt but loses out in other areas less resist reduction and poor damage reduction etc.
