Special abilities that alter resists

[Heimi]

Does anyone know if the Grasping Claw and Conductive Blast special abilities reduce specific resists by half or by some other amount? And whether they stack with Rune Corruption?

Grapsing claw Lowers Phy resist, Con blast increasing the damage energy attacks does by lowering energy rs( best if pair with pets that have 100% energy damage)...and Both stack on a mob with RC =^-^=( Just as a side note they are stack with discord allowing for some truly massive burst.)

Conductive Blast reduces energy damage scaled against the Resisting Spells of the target.

Patch notes says:

Conductive Blast
Trains the creature in the Conductive Blast special ability, causing reduction to a target’s energy resistance.
Animal Training Abilities – Ultima Online

or did they clarify it better somewhere that I did not see?

I think they were asking for the exact amounts?

 

[Donavon]

ahh for grasp I've factored in its about -20 phy RS reduction and lowers their base damage by 8-15( only in monsters that are 100% phy damge)... for RC its -35 to all resist... sadly I have not worked out the math for blast yet... still doing numbers with a 100% energy drake .sorry if I was abit unclear in my last post.. ^_~.

Rune Corruption halves resists.
Conductive does about -34 at 0 Resist.

Add in this for monsters with resisting spells.

The skill Resisting Spells, sometimes referred to as Magic Resist, gives you some basic resistances (physical, fire, cold, poison, energy), even when you are not wearing any armor at all. The formula to calculate your basic resistances is (Resist skill – 40) / 3 * 2 rounded down to the nearest whole number. At 100 skill points, this gives you 40 points in all five resistances, at 120 skill points it gives 44 points in all five resistances.

Looks like 50% but I don't know if the magic resist value is an invisible add on.

What I have figured on CB is between -12 and -34 depending on the resisting spells. Have not tried on any of the really resisting critters yet.
