88%+ damage reduction

ok correct me if im wrong.... but hypothetically cant u get massive damage reduction?

4os armor 4x ber: 32%

3os helm 3x ber: 24%

4os shield 4x ber: 32%

and dungo's and such?

so why dont people do this or am i missing something?|||Maximum physical damage reduction is 50%, much like the normal maximum elemental resistance is 75%.|||ah ok thanks rofl was wondering why ppl didnt do it for pvp lol|||4os armor 4x ber: 32% -> shaftstop ber'd 38%

3os helm 3x ber: 24% -> CoA 2x ber'd 26-31%

4os shield 4x ber: 32% -> storm ber'd 43%

dungo/soe -> 15%

fade lvl 11 (lw) lvl 15 (treachery) -> 15%

that would give us 38+31+43+15+15 = 142% dr

You could go with a higher level Fade for your calculation since an Assassin could use all that gear|||As said, the cap is at 50%, but it will be applied after things like decrep (-50% DR) or Amp (-100%), so it might make sense in certain scenarios. I don't believe that it's worth it, however.|||Quote:

one could also assume a barb with maxed iron skin...but that would be the max possible while only considering gear

edit: i have so much false information in my head, i should prolly stop posting here |||Iron Skin does Defense, not DR%|||while %DR is capped @ 50% there is no cap in integer DR.

loading up on Sol runes, Gerkes shield, Gladiators Bane armour and helms/ammys Of Life Everlasting/Amicae can make you nigh on PvM immortal.|||What you really want is jeweller's monarch/pallyshield and armor of amicae. Chromatic circlet and amulet of Life Everlasting, then some safety craft rings/boots/gloves/belt with lucky affix rolls.
