How important is armor elemental %?

[AweOfShe]

How important is elemental armor? It's important, but it doesn't protect players that are still idiots.

For example, I've seen players fighting De Ragan with Ice Armor die less than people with high % Fire Armor, simply because they bother to run away from the range of his god damn flamethrower-like attack. The others just get cocky thinking they won't die and take it, but die anyways and lol it off. Morons.

in area where there is a single element, elemental armor % is the most important. In areas where there re multiple elements, pick the biggest threat, and wear armor of that element.

exception: armor in neudiaz is hard to pick. enemies are ice/fire, ang getting swatted with the opposite element,while wearing your 50% megaline is not adviseable.

I reallly think how elemental % damage reduction is calculated has nothing to do with dfp.

Like I mentioned earlier, first the elemental reduction is calculated, then DFP reduction.
You could say it is the enemy ATP that is reduced by your elemental defense.

Wear ice. None of the fire monsters are a serious threat even with a 50% damage increase ;p

I've said this before..

I got...

Gigaline 26%fire(not using hardline because its missing some important slots)
Te-Sena 27% light
Gi-senba 28% ice

Crimson line 27% lightening
Crimson line 22% light

Te-senba protects me better than the light Crimson line despite it having higher DFP.

The system is really messed up.

How in the heck did you get odd % armors that can't be bought from the NPC...? It's impossible!

Elemental % > Def Stat

As everyone has already said, element % trumps all. It's an absolutely ridiculous system that allows a fT in a 4* armor to take barely more damage than an fF in a 9*.

I call this a BS rumor until this is announced by SEGA or in effect.

very important

i'm using a 50% lightning stellaline (3* armor) for the boss fight on desert goliath s2. works better than my 18% phantom line or my 18% gigush line

I have a 50% stellaline as well, I used it when I soloed S2 zoulgoug. It saved me from using scapes definitely. On a newman FT, lv110 Zoulgoug's crash landing did 370-400 damage x2 when I had the 50% Stellaline equipped. It shouldn't even be possible, but it is!

Armor %'s are overpowered. I hope this gets changed.

I like having one high-EVP armor (evading is a %-based damage resistance too) instead of trying to make a bunch of high-% and having to switch all the time... fights against multiple elements are fairly common, and some monster types can throw two or more elements at you. Also it's about the only way to roll when you're using A-rank drop-only armors for set bonuses etc.

Elemental armor does make a difference, but i will stick with my nuetral phatomline ive had that since i was lvl 35 and i dont see that much of a difference to make me go out and buy 6 more different armors with different elements...
