Magical Resistance Rating
Update 23 Armor Up changes | |
Overview[edit]
Magical Resistance Rating (abbreviated MRR) is a form of damage mitigation was that introduced with Update 23.
It provides a percentage reduction in damage from acid, sonic, fire, electric, cold, alignment, light, positive, negative, poison, and rust. MRR is granted through multiple sources (items, feats, enhancements) and stacks with itself. Multiple effects granting an Enhancement bonus to Magical Resistance do not stack. Character sheets show the Magical Resistance Rating of the player next to the elemental resistances.
MRR is applied after Elemental Resistance. MRR is applied to the damage that passes through the resistance and this is always rounded down. As such if a player would take 20 damage before resists or MRR was applied and had 10 resistance and 60 MRR (37.5% reduction), the result is:
- (20 - 10) * (100 - 37.5)% = 6.25 round down to 6
- 14 damage will be resisted.
MRR and % reduction[edit]
Formula[edit]
100/(100+Rating)
Example: A character is hit for 100 points of damage.
- 0 MRR takes full damage, 100 points.
- 20 MRR takes 16.67% less damage, 83 points.
- 100 MRR takes 50% less damage, 50 points.

MRR cap[edit]
Different armor types can apply a cap for Magical Resistance Rating (U23):
- Robes, Outfit, or empty armor slot: 50
- Light Armor: 100
- Medium Armor: No cap
- Heavy Armor: No cap
Medium Armor and Heavy Armor prevent you from using Evasion (and so do Large Shields and Tower Shields).

Shield multiplier[edit]
Characters proficient with shields can also use the larger shields for defense against magical attacks that would normally require a Reflex saving throw. In addition to using your Reflex saving throw to mitigate the damage you can deflect the damage off your shield. This is represented by increasing your Physical and Magical Resist Ratings against those types of attacks when using a shield.
- You gain this additional mitigation whether you make your Reflex saving throw or not.
- You don't have to be actively blocking to gain this benefit.
Physical and Magical Resist Rating multiplier against magical attacks that normally allow a Reflex saving throw.
- Buckler: 1.0 (no additional mitigation)
- Light Shield: 1.0 (no additional mitigation)
- Heavy Shield: 2.0 (no evasion)
- Tower Shield: 2.0 (no evasion)

Even though a large portion of monsters do not innately have positive values of those stats, effects that debuff still help to defeat them. |
Reducing MRR[edit]
Player characters have a few options for reducing enemy MRR, for example:
- Shattered Device sentient filigree
- Mind Tear: This weapon tears at the identity of your foes, reducing their MRR and Spell Power.
- Legendary Ash: Attacks and offensive spells have a 50% chance to reduce enemy MRR and Universal Spell Power.
- Banishing Arrows: -1 PRR/MRR, stacks up to 25 times. 5 stacks fade away every 3 seconds.
- Devour the Soul: -20 PRR/MRR for 6 seconds
- Melted Armor debuff: -10 PRR and MRR on each hit, does not stack with itself, duration 12 seconds
- Constricting Nightmare, enchantment on Suffering, the Half of Whole
- Legendary Ooze weapon
- Taint the Aura: -2 SR, PRR and MRR per stack, up to 5 stacks, 10 seconds duration
