I dunno. The way it sounds I can't stack Elemental Armor's resist with Item resists.
Like using the Typhoon Armor with Dustiness garment. I kinda understand it a bit, but I don't understand the whole of it. I know that Typhoon gives Wind Property Defense so I'd be treated as a Wind Property Monster and only take 25% of the damage that would have been done.
But I don't understand how the rest of it works. Does the 30% for Dusty, then 10% for Giant Hornet, reduce from the 25 I would take or does it add to it?
