How do resistances work in ES Blades?
As a Dark Elf, I have a racial bonus of 15% fire resistance. Does this mean, I evade the damage in 15% of the cases, or I only take 85% thereof? Furthermore, I have a fire resistance of 24 bestowed by my boots.
Seeing that these don’t stack and are of different formats, what does this again mean? 24 points detracted from any single hit damage, or something else?
Then, there are also potions that grant elemental resistance: Do these work exactly like the resistances from equipment and stack therewith?
Best Answer
It means that you take 85% of the damage. Resistance means to resist and henceforth if it would have been 15% chance of not getting damaged it would quite frankly be overpowered and it would be mentioned in a way like evading or etc.
Also about the potions if freeze does 100 damage you would take 19 damage for 10sec. It subtracts the damage you would take from the damage inflicted.
