No, I mean the maximum amount. When you scan the monster, you can see its max MP and SP. Anyone knows the formula for that?

It is much like the damage you dealt, you can only guess the rough range.


On side note, what is this "The name is bad and you should feel bad" message in the monster lab when I tried to create a name? It is not like "the name is already been taken" message and I dont put any offensive word in the name (the name I tried to use came from anime character).

Should be the same as character's MP/SP formula.

What's the name you're trying to pick? Maybe it contains prohibited phrases.

Seth Nightroad

Seth Nightroad

You may need to PM Tenb to check if it's on any prohibited list then. I've almost never seen that message.

It appears to be the nightroad part. Penis is allowed but nightroad isn't?

What. The. Flying. Fuck.

I wouldn't even care if this was rare, but it's not, and Eila isn't the only one this regularly happens with. Seeing as how everyone and their mother can now double shot me every turn and my 160% accuracy means nothing, this is fucking aggravating. How do people deal with this crap?

the parry/resist 4-5 times in a row happens more than enough that I think it is fair to say it is a bug that appears regularly, as there are plenty of people that have posted about it, and it also happens to me.....

It's called RNG.

What. The. Flying. Fuck.

I wouldn't even care if this was rare, but it's not, and Eila isn't the only one this regularly happens with. Seeing as how everyone and their mother can now double shot me every turn and my 160% accuracy means nothing, this is fucking aggravating. How do people deal with this crap?

Just be glad this isnt the patch 0.6.8, when even the RNG want to kill players

Wow that's harsh how lame is your gear?, I'd say whatever gives you mage fools accuracy get some more of that, I'm not sure what it's like for mages but if you where melee that accuracy is pretty low

Accuracy works only against evade, homicidal, of which there's only 1 there. There's anti-resist in focus, but that kills your own evade as well and takes up a turn.

So what you're saying is Tokens in Dissipation are a good way to piss off a mage?

magnet works for me

Yes, but getting it happen several times in a row requires quite a lot of tokens in dissipation since the chance of that happening decreases exponentially. If you want to piss off a specific mage the monsters might better be impervious to the elements they use with lots of tokens in fortitude too +high end and str to boot(upping wis helps, but not nearly as much as upping end).

Huh I would have thought Wisdom would be better against mages, and yeah I'm guessing the monster he posted about has his Dissipation probably pretty much maxed by the talk around town.

Wisdom isn't nearly as useful as END because END provides more mitigation per point, because WIS and END are added with diminishing returns, meaning one more % from END is better than from WIS, and finally END's effect is far further boosted by chaos tokens than WIS is.

And yeah, I'd bet Eila has even accuracy maxed.

Well...here's my estimation.
Maxed Dissipation means there's 20% chance to resist a spell. The chance of resisting 5 spells in a row is 0.2^5 = 0.032%. It's about once per ~3000 monsters. The four highest arenas (excluding EoD and above) already has about 2000 monsters, so even if you play 400 rounds a day, you'll still have that about twice per 3 days.
That may be the reason why it looks common.

Well people may argue that not all monsters have their Dissipation maxed, so the chance may be 2-3 times less, but still it's going to happen once per week. Also, resisted monsters are more noticeable for mages as they're often singled out, unlike melees who more likely deals with a group of monsters.

Some would suggest using 1-2 magnets before casting your offensive spell. Seems that it works for some mages.

Eila has everything maxed.

Fixed.

When putting crystals into Elemental resistance does that count towards their total resistance in that damage type? Could that be why it resists so much to Banish?

Edit: +
Example:
If you max out Dissipation and have 20% resist and then max out Fire elemental resistance then if someone uses a fire attack on your monster is its resist going to be the 20% plus the extra fire resistance?

No it surely isn't. Or else FSM/IPU/RL will be godly powerful (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

But reducing damage (by resistance) surely hurts, as you need more spells to kill, thus more chance to get your spell resistsed.
