Piercing magic
why it doesn't work when I against barbarian and anyone have wind cloke :(
I want to know what things can Piercing magic use to? |
| piercing magic ignores defense to magic. though barbs have magic proof as their racial ability |
| Does this mean DE's ability only works on Golem, Gargs, and Senior Genies, those with "creature" resistance, but was totally useless against barb's racial magic proof? |
In fact it works, but the difference in figures is too small at your level of skills.
Also it works against Dragons' magic resistance :) |

Piercing magic
Rate of piercing through magic resistances and immunity: 10%+8%*Dark elf skill level.
Magic proof
Resistance rate: 5%+7%*Barbarian skill level.
At above rate, barbarian has no resistance at all against a same level DE
You see differences at higher level stack with tonnes of HP. |

its not work like that. 10%+8%*DE skill lv is the amount to pierce through bar2 magic proof. Which mean if the 10%+8%*DE reach 100%(which is impossible but to make it can be understood easier) then bar2 magic proof has no resistance at all. As long as the percentage doesnt reach 100%, then Bar2 skill still reduce magic damage dealt by DE. Thats why piercing magic the worst racial skill i think. |

I get your point, your right. That also means DE Piercing work from 18~82% (curent max level 9). So, no matter what magic resistance still works as you have said.
My main is wizard that info helps. Thanks |
piercing magic can not pierce barbarian' proof can not pierce magic shield
omg how can it be called like "piercing magic" skill since it can pierce nothing :( |
I have 3 darkelf skill
when I cast a magic arrow on barbarian who has only 2 barbarian skill
deal only 49 damage ( I have 4 spell power and can deal 56 damage at usually)
it means when face barbarian' proof ,piercing magic is useless
same to who has art like "cape wind"
worst racial skill "piercing magic " like 6 said :( |
it is like this, at faction lvl 5, you have a piecrce magic of 50% (10 + 5 x 8%)
this means that an golem (magic proof 50%) will take 75% of your dmge instead of only 50% from for example a wizzy), the magic proof ability from barbarians is only half as effective etc etc.
while this all sounds nice, the effect is that you WILL take a target that takes 100% dmge and as such do not really use your skill.
only when there will be more critters that have immunities to magic (and also to buffs/ debuffs, not only dmge) will this skill beocme worthwile |
