Resistance

See: Damage types
For nearly every damage type, there is a method of resisting it, whether it be by spell, ability, or a buff provided by gear. Included below are the most common resistances provided by the game.

- ↑ While typically a resist is a quality that prevents in part or whole damage that is done to the person benefiting from the resist, the armor resist ignores a percentage of the armor value of the benefactor's foe. So, if a character had 10% armor resistance, he would ignore 10% of his foe's armor, effectively reducing their armor class for the purpose of the To Hit calculation.
- ↑ Bleeding resist is rare as most bleeds are very small amounts of damage and don't generally warrant a resist. This does not include Damage over Time (DoT) effects, as those would be covered by other resistances.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 This can be from the physical weapon blow or by any ability or environmental effect.

- ↑ This resist protects against spell-casting abilities from guild-related abilities.
