Need to double-check damage reduction for lesser version Tihocan 11:00, March 17, 2006 (EST)


 * This was quite a while ago, any news? Elliott Cable  -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  02:07, April 28, 2006 (EDT)


 * No, I'd still like it to be double-checked. Tihocan 11:10, April 28, 2006 (EDT)

Related note
I have a set of +1 Leather Armor of Axeblock. It may be bugged, but is giving me 5 DR to everything but slashing. It is my baby. I haven't had another piece of Axeblock equipment and I haven't reported it because I like it being broken the way it is. KakarisMaelstrom 17:28, April 27, 2006 (EDT)


 * So, is this a bug on the Axeblock enhancement, or on that particular class of item, or on that particular item alone? Could you test it? I'd like to document it if it is, bugs like that are something that is awesome to have on the wiki to generate interest (-: Elliott Cable  -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  02:07, April 28, 2006 (EDT)


 * If I happen upon another piece, I'll definitely pass the word. :)  08:40, April 28, 2006 (EDT)


 * Hmm, I'll definitely keep my next axeblock item to check that. Does this DR appear on your character sheet, or have you noticed it by experimentation? Tihocan 11:09, April 28, 2006 (EDT)


 * It's listed on the character sheet. It reads something like: DR 5 / Slashing, Piercing.  Then you look at the actual DR being given and it says 5 on everything but slashing and piercing.  (It's slashing and something anyway, can verify laster).  To verify that I wasn't misinterpreting, I went over to my Adamantite Warforged and he reads: DR 2 / Adamantite.  He has a 2 on everything but adamantite, which I interpret as meaning he absorbs 2 damage from everything but what he is made of.  That leads me to believe the equipment is bugged.  But... haven't seen another piece of Axeblock to test that theory, I just know I'm wearing it indefinitely :) KakarisMaelstrom 12:47, April 28, 2006 (EDT)
 * You are falling victim to an unintuitive UI. The Axeblock is functioning correctly, but the display on the character sheet is in negative form, leading you to think it is reversed.  Each entry of DR shows you a number of reduction, followed by what can penetrate that reduction.  Wearing Hammerblock will actually give you DR penetrated by pierce or slash.  The other 2 kinds of block line up similarly with the 3 kinds of weapon damage. It's easy to become confused.  I bet screenshots would help players understand what's going on.
