Element Question Options

[Yusshin]

If I increase an actor or weapon's element resistance to 125%, is that 25% more damage taken, or 25% less damage taken?

Always get confused because 75% could mean 75% of the damage (so 25% more resistance)... but 125% could mean the same thing @_@ 25% more resistance.

Just need a straight answer lol

In 2003, the way it works is that you aren't 125% resistant (which is a paradox, you can't be more than completely resistant to something, being absorptive is something else), but rather you simply change damage percent to negative. Such as -15%.

The other thing you should check out is if you can do an element where most of the numbers aside from the last are negative (couldn't in 2003). Sort of an effect like Sesshomaru's sword in that it heals the living and kills the dead.
