How important is armor elemental %?

[Wallin]

Like the topic says, how important is elemental % on armor? Trying to figure out if I should buy 16% resist in someone's player shop for 50k or if I should risk the synth and mats for 120k.

not very important. Play without getting hit and you will live longer.

[Mayu]

a possible synth is a possible 50% -_-

Which is pretty much your going to be a tank for that element

Risking can be a problem -.- if you have the money to spare then go ahead and do it

Either fail

Either Make a high %

Either make a crappy low %

If you don't like those then simply buy the premade one

I have the money to spare, just didn't know if it would be worth it - I don't think I've ever created a % over 25, so I'm not that excited about trying really.

But I was looking at dark resist armor for my level since I seem to get n00b'd by Megid when I least expect it.

Then go ahead and make it <.<

Just don't get emo -.- if it DOES fail <.<

IMO V IMPORTANT. I find on my main that my 28% ICE Sori-senba does far better than my Yamato on monsters such as Olghmons... mega/rainbow helps... A LOT.

On my FF'r I find the elemental %'s a must.

If you would normally get hit by a Volfu for 500, you would only get hit for 250 with a 50% lightning armor.

That adds up when they gank you all at once; and BTW, there's like 11 that spawn at once I think.

You can do the math yourself.

PROTIP: There are a couple of exceptions, but in general dark armor will not decrease your chances of dying from megid.

Yeah. Even with high % Jarba Megid will still kill you by shear damage alone in a single hit. The Incapacitation effect won't even have a chance to go off.

th epoint though is that dark armor does not prevent or resist the "incapacitate" effect. it only reduces damage. there are few armors that have built in megid resistance, but those are rare instances.
