![]() ![]() Resistance reduces the chance for the binary spell to land by a certain percentage. Binary spells are spells which deal a debuff (like or ) or, for some other reason, must take full effect or no effect at all. Non-binary spells are spells which only deal damage (like or ). ( Spell hit is the first roll.) The spell resistance roll will calculate in one of two different ways: one way for Binary Spells, another way for non-Binary spells. Spell resistance is the second of two rolls to determine whether or not a spell is resisted. However, this resistance had been shown to not apply to binary spells at all. This extra resistance meant there would be partial resists on non-binary spells from the added resistance. For boss fights, this means there was 15-24 resistance added. For every level that a mob had over the player, there was 8 resist (believed the exact number may have been higher) added. Note: Level-based resistance (not to be confused with level-based miss) could play a factor in total resists. For level 83 boss mobs K was believed to be 510. The percentage of magical damage that is mitigated on average is calculated by the following equation (note that this has changed in Wrath):ĭamage reduction percentage = 100% * effective resistance rating / ( K + effective resistance rating )įor level 80 mobs this constant K is 400. Unlike all other magical resistance in the game, this resistance from level difference could not be overcome by spell penetration. Note that this formula renders level 83 bosses as having had 15 magical resistance against level 80 player attacks. Therefore, in this situation, it's safe to assume that the player's effective resistance was the same as the base resistance (from the character sheet). In PvE boss fights, the player level is usually equal to or less than the boss level, and no spell penetration is in effect. Rb - target base resistance (as advertised on the character sheet) The effective resistance rating of the target was calculated as follows:Įffective resistance rating = Rb + max((Lt - Lc) * 5, 0) - min(P, Rb) Prior to Cataclysm, a target of higher level than its attacker would gain a kind of hidden, intrinsic spell resistance to all schools of magic. 1 Effective resistance and average mitigationĮffective resistance and average mitigation. ![]()
