April 21, 201510 yr The DR a lash goes against *should* be proportional to the lash damage, but isn't (it's always 25% DR no matter what the lash is). This is probably a bug and should be reported and complained about on the tech support Forum until they fix it. Right now lashes lower than 25% (like Monk's lightning strikes) are almost useless, while lashes higher than 25% (Flames of Devotion) are more useful than they should be. To clarify, it would make sense that 10% damage lash is reduced by 10% DR, while 50% damage lash is reduced by 50% of corresponding DR. https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/77154-does-secondary-elemental-damage-ignore-elemental-damage-reduction/ Character backgrounds explored (Callisca)
April 21, 201510 yr there is already a thread on this on first page even, with dev response saying it works as designed .. Why new thread ?
April 21, 201510 yr Yes, see here: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/78228-lashes-all-go-against-25-of-dr-no-matter-what-the-lash-damage-is/ The dev marked it "solved" after he answered, and I marked it "unsolved". If he comments again saying they really intended it to work that way, I guess the issue can be dropped. But it defies all logic for it to work the way it currently works, so I figure we keep mentioning it until that is confirmed.

It comes as a great surprise to me that it doesn't for so many people .. Logic is subjective/relative .. Edited April 21, 201510 yr by peddroelm
