Why I'm posting this thread: this is a proposal that I want to pass by the community at large to ensure that 1) I'm factually correct and 2) that I'm not "fixing" something that doesn't need fixing which will cause massive seizures, general angst, and a downpour of QQ

Based on the Improving Shaiya thread (and a thread specifically on this issue), I'm proposing a bug fix request to the devs (but I haven't yet submitted it). Here is the issue/bug as I understand it, and here would be the requested change.

Issue: Defense reduces physical damage by 1, Absorb reduces any damage by 1, yet Magic Resist reduces magical damage by 2. This seems inconsistent and doesn't serve an obvious game balance or game play concern.

Change: Magic Resist should reduce magical damage by 1.

If you feel that this shouldn't be fixed, say so clearly and BRIEFLY say why. If you agree that this should be fixed, say so but there's no need to explain why UNLESS your reasons for supporting the change are different than what I've posted in the Issue.

YES!

In there before spalsher!

personally i think this is a good change.

second edit: First on a meaningful thread!

I know there will be non-supporters, but I had really like to see the reasons.
You have no idea how glad I was when I read the topic name. Karma for both Ratty and Skep.

Support.

*ABSOLUTELY supports*

Let's give the community a reason to actually play casters again. Warr's and fighters have had it too easy. Time to balance the classes again.

(PS- if you fixed this I would return to Shaiya and spend money on AP, not bribing, just saying.)

No.
