Ooh, I still feel that "+DMP wasn't nearly as useful for Psymet monks as it was for Acrobatic monks, because Psymet had so much DMP already." Defensively speaking, a trans tat acro monk > psymet monk (without tats).
After some testing, there's definitely an issue with elasticity. It does not reduce damage from the druid full poison attack, nor the druid cutting/blunt attack - it does reduce damage correctly from a warrior strike (and NOT wounding - which is another rumor that's been bandied about). So it's been reported, and I guess we will see how it is resolved.QUOTE
I really love BodyScan and cannot thank the admin enough. Will wait to see what future dialogue BodyScan Buff brings to the table.

Was just about to post about elasticity. My damage (100% magic) isn't changing on Troika with and without her elasticity up

If elasticity helps against warriors, dodging should go.

To make Xenthos feel better. Aeonics warrior here, about as buffed as I can get without tattoos/alcohol. The resistance to all coming from kirigami and attunement.

In the end, I think Psymet will be able to get away with 50-weight trans tats for the 10 DMP whereas acro's will need the full 100-weight trans tats for the same defensive coverage. This more or less means Psymet's will also be able to pickup DamageBuffs (and some other tat types) along the way.
So your saying that acro monks should go all damage absorption tats then?

She is effectively saying she should half all her tats, which means 15 tast of 50 weight... thats all the DMP plus some buffs plus the others.
Thats most every tat in fact of value in combat.
P.S. so elasticity is bugged, but is it that it shows as dmp to all or that its not reducing damage to all the types?

Enyalida2011-07-17 18:23:52
How prevalent are different types of dmp? Offhand, I'd say that asphyx and posion are on the harder end of things to get, with probably... magic.
Unknown2011-07-17 18:39:33
Actually psychic is way hard to get DMP at if you don't know psionics, I feel, but asphyx in general is tough, along with lightning IMO.

I'd say psychic, asphyx, and poison. We have galvanism for electric, but poison DMP is really hard to get outside of Glomdoring/Magnagora.

Just because everyone is doing it. Resilience and highmagic still need quite a bit of work, and I don't have a kirigami up. Do have potion buffs, but no magic or electric proof, and no tats at all yet.
I found a few bugs related to BODYSCAN and symbol earlier, and got a report within a few hours that they were fixed. Hurrah!
Also, for your reading pleasure, here's the damage line and death message for demonweb, which imo is pretty damn awesome:
QUOTE
darkcall demonweb rat
You grasp a chilling symbol of despair tightly between both your hands and thrust it forward, hissing and spitting foul curses at
a young rat as you do so. Thin strands of the Web of Despair lash out to pierce a young rat's flesh. Moaning pitiously, he grasps
at his head as purplish blotches form on his skin.
Overcome by convulsions, a young rat collapses to the ground, writhing about as blood begins to pour from his eyes, ears, nose and
mouth whilst his skin turns hideous, bruised shades of purple, yellow and brown before he finally expires.

Anybody see the deathsight messages of the new damage types yet?
Tacita2011-07-17 19:27:48
I've found it interesting to read the stats of others, to compare things and also spot problems. So here's another. Faeling bard brewmeister with a TF, attune, kirigami. No malts up at this point, but I've attuned and used everything else. Apart from being capable in resilience I'm reasonably high in everything else of relevance.
ETA: This is of course subject to the point that elasticity appears to be copiously bugged.

Apparently, I have a strong weakness against bad grammar because that did a lot of damage. Typo that, please? If that's really what they wanted to say, it should be more like:
The burl pops and ruptures, and a swarm of crackling lightning bugs swirl about him and scourge his flesh with electricity.
Still not very poetic but at least it's grammatical.
