Resisting Spells

The Magic Resist skill reduces spell damage taken, increases resistance to non-damaging spells, and provides a chance to absorb or mitigate incoming magic effects.

Mechanics

• Spell damage taken is reduced by a minimum of:

 (12.5% * (Magic Resist Skill / 100)).

• Spell damage taken is reduced by a maximum of:

 (37.5% * (Magic Resist Skill / 100)).

• The chance to resist any hostile spell with a non-damaging effect (such as Curse or Poison) is:

 (40% - (Spell Circle * 5%)) * (Magic Resist Skill / 100)).

• Provides players with a chance to avoid Spell Interruption from Creature/Environment Damage of

 (Effective Magic Resist Skill / 100%).

Spell Absorption

• In addition to normal spell damage reduction, players now have a chance to Absorb a spell cast by a creature of:

 (25% * (Magic Resist Skill / 100)). 

• Absorbed spells are displayed with a pink/purple orb effect (similar to Parrying).
• An absorbed spell has its damage reduced by 75% (similar to the Parrying effect).

Spell Siphon

• The first time a player is hit by a spell (from any player/creature) every **5 minutes**, they receive a **Spell Siphon** effect, applying bonuses against creatures for **60 minutes** (does not stack).
• If a player is hit with further spells while having the Spell Siphon bonus active, the duration will **not** be renewed.
• Players receive a notification: **"Your spell siphon bonus has expired"** after 60 minutes.

The bonuses for having an active **Spell Siphon** effect are: Swing Speed increased by (10% * (Effective Magic Resist Skill / 100)) Mana Refund Chance increased by (10% * (Effective Magic Resist Skill / 100)) Damage Resistance increased by (10% * (Effective Magic Resist Skill / 100))

Training

• Resisting Spells can be trained in two ways:
  • By **casting on yourself**.
  • By **getting cast on by mobs**.
• **Casting on yourself is much slower** than being cast on by mobs but can be **macroed AFK**.
• Important Note:
  • Spells must be **cast by yourself** (on yourself) or **by a friendly Player** (same guild/alliance).
  • The skill **won't gain** otherwise.
• **Skill Gain chance is higher** if the spell is cast by a creature.
• **There is a limit on skill gain per mob**.
  • If you stop gaining, kill the mobs and find new ones.
