(1.4.3) Lightning Speed resist...

[Snow]

The 'Provides 100% lightning resistence' portion of the tooltip is misleading, since a player's base resistence (as far as I know) can't be boosted past 70%, which means even in lightning form, you can take lightning damage, even though you're supposed to be immune to it.

[Radon26]

is that a checked info? or did you just read 2 bits and made a conclusion?

[Micbran]

It's true, Radon26. 100% lightning resist translates to 70% actually.

[Radon26]

well, yes, normally, but there are things that can increase the cap, so its not unreasonable to think that the rune might do that too.

if it doesn't already then it should.

[Snow]

I meant the wyrmic skill but if there's a rune that does the same...

Any way yeah it's checked. Got zapped several times while zipping about and took lighting damage. Checked my character sheet too and it capped up at 70%.

[Radon26]

... there isn't... sry, my mistake. the lightning rune is the dodgy one.

[darkgod]

changed

[HousePet]

Said change is +100% to lightning resist cap.

[Radon26]

so with it its 170%? 0.o
