Cold Def or Cold Troller
worldweary:
Looking at Mid's Defenders Ice Shield has 15% Def and 12.5% Res.Slotted it is 22% Def 19% Res.
Trollers have 11.25% Def and 9.38% Res.Slotted it is 17% Def and 14% Res.Math is something
I have lots of trouble with.If I have 32.5 Def and someone hits me with Ice Shield how do I figure
out what my Def and Res is then?If we were in game I could look at real numbers but with just Mid's
I just don't understand how much to build for and how much Shields will cover the rest.A simple
way to explain if possible.Thanks

Assuming the shield giver has them slotted the way your Mids numbers show, it would be as follows:
You (base): 32.5% Def 0% Res
You (Defender shield): 54.5% Def 19% Res
You (Controller shield): 49.5% Def 14% Res
Defense values are additive, so simply add them together to get your total. I'm not 100% sure, but I think Resistance is multiplicative, so an example would be:
You (base): 10% Res
You (Defender shield): 27.1% Res (10% + (90 * .19))
You (Controller shield): 22.6% Res (10% + (90 * .14))
The 90 in the example is your current value. You take 90% of the damage. You then multiply that value by what the shield gives you, either 19% (.19) or 14% (.14) depending on the shield giver AT. Add the result to the original 10% to get the final Res value.

So if a teammate had 20 Defense and I hit them with Ice Shield not slotted they would have 35 Defense?
So they would be 10 off from the cap.If they had 10 Resistance and I hit them with Ice Shield not slotted
which is 12.5 they would have 20 Resistance?Sorry I know this is basic math for most of you but I really
want to understand how to do this.Thanks

Defense-wise, yes. 20% Def + 15% Def from the shield = 35% Def.
Resistance-wise, close. It would actually be 21.25% Res.
10% + (90 * .125) = 10% + 11.25% = 21.25%

Thank You for taking the time to explain.I think I understand.Now I can see what a Cold,FF,Sonic Resonance and Thermal Defenders will be able to do when in a team without IO's.
