Spell: resist elements gsf abj.

[Swifty Willownall]

Version: 9085

It doesn't seem like the GSF Abjuration 5 elemental DR turn/level bonus is being added.

[Mr.Moloch]

It does appear to be set up properly, is there a chance the time had passed? A turn is one minute long.

@Mr-Moloch

I thought it may have been a time issue too, but this was near the start of the quest. I also had ghostly visage on, which should have the same duration, turn/level, so that ruled out that. Of note, I do apply Endure elements before casting resist elements, and endure elements is from my wizard class while resist elements is from ranger. No idea if that changes things.

[Swifty Willownall]

I know there are three kinds of damage absorption forms. Resistance, reduction, and immunity. They stack with each other, but resistance only takes the highest value if stacked with itself, right? It looks like both bonuses are being counted as EffectDamageResistance. One is the spells original value nResistance (which equals 20) and the other is gsf abjur 5, so it looks like it's just using the 20.

[Mr.Moloch]

@Swifty-Willownall That's very likely the issue.

[Swifty Willownall]

@Mr-Moloch

So I was able to test this earlier with some Ice elementals in the mountains. They drained the pool of absorption I had, but I noticed afterwards that I still had 5 resist. You just won't notice it until after the pool of absorption is used up.

[Mr.Moloch]

@Swifty-Willownall Thanks closing this up then.
