Armor for MS

[Catra 37]

Hi,

 

I'm with a doubt about MS armor

I tested armor 132 BSM fortitude and armor 132 Sapphire Finesse and with all buffs the ABS is the same with both armor,

 

But with Fortitude have much more defense than Finesse. The only thing that Finesse wins is in 80+ HP and more atributs like organic, poison, etc. ( 15 + each )

 

My ask is, what is better ? Because Finsse mix coast 10 Sapph, the correct  it Would have to be much better than fortitude but in fact i haven't seen that difference.

I did some tests and i'm still in doubt

 

apparently with both armor, the Mechanician tanks the same way, i can't realize the difference.

 

But the diference is in stats

 

With Fortitude 5000 DEF 390 ABS 1400 HP and Atributes (organic, fire, ice,etc) 42

With Finesse    4300 DEF 390 ABS 1480 HP and Atributes (organic, fire, ice,etc) 57

 

Now i need your opinion, Which is better ?

Like i thought, but how even works the atributs ? I never understood how does it work.

This is a big question. Some servers never got it working at all, some servers made it work in strange ways... So it is almost an "implementation detail" of the server.

 

The fact is that some skills have an element related to them (Spark is related to light, for example) and the resistance would act as an add to the absorption of the char. So if your char has 100 abs and 14 ice resistance, then your char can absorp 100+14=114 from an ice attack.

 

I don't know if this is how it works on WarTale. I've seen it working like this in some servers out there.

It's hard to say whether Health point or defense is better in this case. Having 80 HP is just like having 80 more absorptions, while 700 defense gives you a huge boost in exp-map (where mobs' attack ratings are low) but not really useful in hunting maps like SL.
