May 5, 20187 yr Resistances of the same kind apparantly don't stack. It's a 1/0 thing. Sad, I know... Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
May 5, 20187 yr Well, divine purpose should stack fine, since divine purpose doesn't actually give you "resistance," it gives you a 20-point defense boost against affliction attacks. The defense boost, since it comes from a passive, will stack with other defense boosts and with resistances. "Resistance" (which is given by unflinching) from multiple sources won't stack. "Resistance" doesn't give a defense boost; it just automatically downgrades any affliction of that type you gain by 1 stage (so from a level 2 to level 1 affliction, or from a level 1 affliction to nothing).
May 5, 20187 yr Author Thanks for the answers! One more quick questions: How does Aegis of Loyalty work exactly?
May 5, 20187 yr Author That one I don't know. I don't have the beta. Thanks anyways. Real quick just want to clarify that critical hits are separate from penetration ie I can penetrate without a critical or could I potentially critical without a penetration?
May 5, 20187 yr Yeah, those are separate. But critical hits get a bonus to penetration (in addition to their bonus to damage) -- how much, I don't know exactly. But critical hits do make it easier to penetrate armor. And since penetration/overpenetration affects damage, critical hits end up affecting damage in two different ways.
May 5, 20187 yr That one I don't know. I don't have the beta. Thanks anyways. Real quick just want to clarify that critical hits are separate from penetration ie I can penetrate without a critical or could I potentially critical without a penetration? Yes to both. Crits give +50% to your penetration value but are otherwise separate from over/under penetration calculations.
