resistance to wind property & wind property attack

[Lau]

Bought a dustiness card recently, thought i'd come in handy for the seemingly endless hw-grind for my ws. Since it's 30% resistance to wind property, I thought it'd give protection against wind monsters, like hws. And that resistance against attacks were, well, against attack

Right now hw does 200~300 dmg on my ws, so with dustiness card it sould be about 140~200 dmg, but they still manage to inflict whole 340 dmg on me:S


Have I missed something?

Monster's normal attack are neutral, the dustiness card only projects you from attack that are wind property, such as lightning bolt for example.

So there's no difference between "resistance to wind property" & "resistance against wind property attacks"?

The dustiness card only says 'wind property'(which should be all wind monsters), not wind property attacks(like TB, JT etc etc).....

[Incarn]

as a rule of thumb, the card/gear MUST SAY "resist so-and-so property monsters"

if it does not specify then it is good to assume that it means so-and-so property attacks

I don't think there's actually an effect that resists to a property monster instead of property attacks. There are vs Race cards, but yeah.

On my first char my friend gave me an immune muff and I traded it for a marse muff because I was leveling in Bylan. She wasn't too happy.

That's the exact same reason why Orc Zombie card is so useless outside of hatter purposes. It give's 30% resist to undead property.??but since so few monsters actually use undead property attacks, it's meh.??

Dustiness is just another in a series of garment cards that resist elements rather than the Monsters themselves. I'd be really good if you were going up against monsters that spammed property attacks like magic.

Orc Zombie= Undead Property
Marionette= Ghost Property
Isis = Shadow Property
Myst = Poison property
Hode = Earth property
Jakk = Fire property
Marse =??Water Property
Dustiness= Wind Property


I'd mention Raydric/Deviling cards for neutral property, but their Percentages are different from all of the ones I've listed.?? Everything else has 30% elemental resist and has a small flee bonus, whereas Raydric is a flat 20% neutral reduction. Nothing else.

Deviling gives you 50%??Neutral resist, but you take 50% more damage from elemental attacks.

the only way I can see this kind of card useful is against elemental bash from mobs. hill wind bash hurts a lot, reducing 30% really helps but it doesn't always use that. you can equipment switch during fights but I would rather use earth armor since the reduction is greater.

btw, if you use earth armor and dustiness garment, will you get hurt from Jupiter lightening and Wind bash? I'm not sure how the elemental reduction formula works...

It's also good against magic like JT, Thunderstorm, LoV Lightning bolt. Wear a Dustiness against Kathy Keyron's lvl 28 JT, and you'll have a much better chance of surviving it, assuming it doesn't push you into a hoard of other angry bio clones.

Typically, elemental resistances from armor are different from Equipments that straight up say 30% resist to an element. I'm not sure which is calculated first, the -50% wind damage from your earth armor first, or the % reducts from Dustiness first, but I know it generally has a better effect if you stack those cards overall, than relying on an ele armor.

There's even been some rumors of people making one of our custom MVP's a cakewalk walking up loaded with water resists and a bard/dancer duet known as Invunerable Sigfried for +50% more elemental resists, and managed to keep a berserk LK's HP full, just off of Levia's waterball spam alone..

Marse card, Marc card, tidal shoe combo, Blue Hip ribbon and Blue side ribbon. Not sure if Ring of Water existed then yet or not. I'm still not sure if having enough elemental resists could heal you if you were hit by that element you're geared against nowadays.

Valk Shield + Level 5 Inv Sig = immunity to water/fire.
