    Hello! I am rather new to aion, so i'm just asking about magic resist.

    1st is magic resist even working, even though there's a 20/11 update that says it's fixed?

    2nd If i have a set let's say + 14 full magic resist, could i resist many stuns, aether hold and stuffs?

    3rd what does magic resist, resist?
    stun, fear, etc?

    Thanks,
    and pardon me for my noobness.

    It resists status effect such as stuns, silence and blind, fear and magical attack skills. Knockdown and stumble are physical status effect so it won't (shouldn't) be resisted. Quite a few offensive skills from Gladiator are physical status such the effect of Force Cleave and Force Blast. Templar's Doom Lure is a physical effect, I think it has another effect where that part is magical, cant remember. Ankle Snare is magical, so it could be resisted. Assassin's poison effect is also physical. but their stuns are effected by magical accuracy, so it can be resisted.

    Your title still makes me laugh Aegis :tongue:

    But yes, 1700 is the minimal. If you can't reach that then don't bother with MR. Anything over that can only do better.

    hmm i cant seem to hit 1.8 mr with the current anuhart.
    so i guess i will go for magic boost or hp instead?

    anyway about the mechanics of mr how does it works?

    Stun >> knockdown.
    or root >> stun
    or aether hold >> stun.

    (This is what my friend said : the 1st skill used, your resist % would be at the maxed %. but at the 2nd hit, your mr resist % would drop and you will confirm get hit with my 2nd skill because there is sth "like a cooldown" for mr. before you can resist with normal % again) << TRUE?

    if it is, mr is not that useful.

    This is the chance that you will resist completely the spell or status effect cast on you, as modified by the caster's Magic Acc. This is not a mitigation, this is a full avoidance. The formula is this:

    (Magic Resist) - (Caster's Magic Acc) / 08 = % chance of resisting the spell completely.
