Obviously that doesn’t matter that much when fighting mobs or most bosses. However, with very specific bosses (Renegade Druid comes to mind), there might actually be a difference. With dozens of blades and traps and auras etc, the difference of 3 gets exponentially multiplied, and there is actually a notable change in the final damage.

@@xxzombiekillerxx9549 At 140, storm already has a very high damage output compared to every other school that the extra damage can honestly make it worth it. Also at max the fights I use my storm for do not require high health and resist. When I use my storm it’s mostly farming for bosses or items that you achieve by fighting the same weak boss over and over again. For example farming uwe for jewels, king det, or cronus / sand squid for amber. However for bosses where you’re trying to deal around 100,000 damage in one hit, such as omen or devourer I would use my fire because extra health and resist in a fight like that is miles more useful than +3-4% damage (effectively) when you hit since your already have dozens of blades and traps on yourself and the enemy.

This is definitely true for solo or duo players, maybe even more casual squads, but a friend and I who have multiple max accounts each sometimes rely on that 1% extra damage to kill quick enough. I have mostly quint damage pets, although I do plan on making triple doubles or quad proof pets as well later down the line. Basically the way I see it, if we kill fast enough that they don't get a chance to kill us, resist doesnt matter. But as i said, more casual players or smaller parties probably don't follow this idea, so definitely more worth for them. Great video tho :)

as the worlds get more difficult, resist becomes much more important than damage in my opinion. and resist is not very easy to get on questing gear. you have to give up one stat for another. but since people that play this are obsessed with damage i don’t think that’s gonna change. great video!
@theinternationallanguagees92132 жыл бұрын
I have to disagree on this one. Resist I think increasingly gets less important because later on the bosses have more pierce which renders resist mostly useless, and you don’t need resist for regular mobs. situations where you would normally need resist are usually dealt with by juju spammers. I’ll be clear I don’t think ferric is wrong, but I think his argument stands better in saying resist is just “nice to have” or a “why not” type of situation. I don’t think either setups are bad, I just don’t think min maxing at max level is bad either. Both setups are good, but again, the extra resist is more of a “it’s there so I’ll take it” situation rather than a necessary stat.

This was so interesting! I've always went for quint damage, especially because it helps a lot when your damage is lower than 150 / when you're not max level yet, but now I think I'll go for triple double because like you said it barely matters at all haha. But I gotta wonder what about ice and life? Surely it must be a bigger difference with that extra damage, and since the max level gear gives so much resist anyway, that 16 extra won't make as much of an impact as it would for storm and fire.
@ferric2 жыл бұрын
It is true that the 8% makes a bigger difference for life and ice, but that resist also makes a bigger difference for those schools because resist is a talent that gets better and better the closer it gets to 100%. 0% resist vs 50% resist makes a spell do half the damage, but when you get close to immunity, 98% resist vs 99% resist also makes the spell do half the damage compared to the lower resist amount. In the first example, it took 50% resist to halve the damage, but in the second example, it only took 1% more resist to halve the damage. Also the difference for ice is also really low, it's not 1.1% like fire but it is under 3%. When I make the gear guide for all the schools, I'll compare how much more damage that a school like Ice gets by using a quint damage pet over a triple double.
@Daniel-rb7zo2 жыл бұрын
@@ferric I'm not sure I agree with the way you present the resist idea. It's technically correct if you look at it piece by piece, but it doesn't cut damage in half multiple times, it just adds to the percentage off of the total (ignoring flat resist). 5% more resist is 5% less damage per hit. An additional 1% less is 1% less whether you're at 0% or 99% if you look at the total. What you're saying isn't wrong, just an odd way to explain and maybe a tiny bit misleading
@ferric2 жыл бұрын
@@Daniel-rb7zo I feel like it is worth comparing that way though because the point of resist is it increases your effective HP in battle. When you upgrade a piece of gear, you want to compare your stat increase relative to the previous piece of gear rather than the additive/subtractive change of the number itself. At the end of the day, the point of a defensive stat is to keep me from dying in battle. Having health keeps me from dying in battle. At 8000 HP, if I had 0% resist, I effectively have 8000 HP. If I had 27% resist, I effectively have 10900 HP, which is an increase of 37% more effective HP. If I gain an additional 27% resist on top of that, I have 54% resist, meaning that initial 8000 HP is now 17391. That is now a 117% increase in effective HP even though I gained the same amount of resist as a number. I hope this explanation is a bit better than the one I did in the video, lemme know what you think.

@@ferric That's a much better way to put it.

That wouldn't be a bad idea. Personally I don't want brace-defy because it is not reliable in PvE, and sometimes when you don't need it, it will cast which takes up extra time.

When did this change? the added gem should give damage below the line, or in the box under the damage box, it is called flat damage, it isn't a percent it is just an additive. and the pets are not equal, the double damage pet has a 11 on fire and the second pet has a 4 and a 7, so it has the same thing using two slots instead of one. So the fire damage is the SAME on both pets, The only difference is the 4 points of unaspected damage

Flat damage is the damage with the open hand. All damage from gear is now represented as just damage with the closed fist unless it is flat damage. That closed fist damage is then added together, and the sum of it all becomes your damage percentage. The damage that doesn't have a fire symbol on it is universal damage which adds it to all schools including fire.
