Resistances To Magicka & Other spells. Can you block the

Post » Sun Jun 03, 2012 2:52 am

There is something I've been wandering about resistances in this game. I figured it'd be best to ask it here. In this game does Magicka resistance counts toward all spells such as fire, frost & shock? or just non elemental spells? Also if I put 3 points into Magic Resistance in the Alteration tree & take the lord stones active effect. Plus put either the Elemental resistances on my Armour which is currently at 46% without Enchanting Potions it would bring my resistances to 101% would that completely stop all damage of those types toward my character?
Or would just having Magicka Resistance on my gear stop the Elemental spell damage plus other magicka type damage toward my character as well?


I ask because I prefer the Daedric Armour over Dwarven Armour, But Spellbreaker only really goes with Dwarven Armour in terms of looks.

Look here for everything you've ever wanted to know about magic resistance (and lots of other stuff):

Edit: If that link is "tildered" for you, the short answer is no... but you can get up to 97.75% resistance by stacking magic resistance with elemental resistance. So that's pretty darn close to 100% resistance.
