There are a lot more items with high fire resist, though. With Brigid's shield on and a PMoP, I get close to 60 fire resist without breaking a sweat. Add a level 107 fire protect scroll on top of that and it gets to be around 75. I can't usually get anywhere near that with cold because there are no items with a substantial amount of cold resist on them. From my observations, here's what the server looks like overall...


Most common high resistances:

1. Physical (It's on pretty much all armor.)
2. Fire (PMoP, Govannon, Brigid's Shield, Capes, Fire Resist Spell, Demon Stone, Demon Shield)
3. Magic (Elronds, RDA / BDA, Fragments, Adamant Rings, Magic Resist Spell, Balor)
4. Cold (Bile, Ogma, Ice Bracers, Ice Shield, Cold Resist Spell, Forgotten Frost, Immortal Frost)
5. Lightning (Gale, Chainmail of Electricity, Brigid's Shield, Lightning Resist Spell, Leucetious)
6. Poison (Large Pirate Belt, Glok Belt, Poison Resist Spell, Bile)
7. Drain (Bile, Brigid)
8. Death (Bile, Brigid)
9. Life Stealing (Bile, Brigid)
10. Fear (Bile, Diancecht, Balor)
11. Confusion (Aengus, Diancecht)
12. Blinding (Diancecht)
13. Depletion (Brigid)
14. Paralyzation (Rings)
15. Slow (Rings)


(Near the end, it kind of gets hard to determine which ones are used the least.)

Bile resists cold too. With Bile Holy Posession + Protection from Cold, you can get pretty high cold resist before you even put on any equipment.

But like I said, it doesn't matter either way.

Thanks for the correction. I'll re-rank cold on my list, too.

What doesn't matter? Resists? Resists certainly matter. You're right about usefulness not being tied to rarity, but usefulness and resists, bonuses, and so forth definitely go hand-in-hand.

It seemed like magic resistance is only from really rare expensive items, where as some resistances you listed are on easier-to-acquire items. I 'm not sure though, so do correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways, I think that's what's most important- how difficult it is to get these items.

There is magic resist on a lot of smaller items too, like Arcane Shield, Ring of Magic, etc. I was just listing off the items that usually give you more points for your resistances.

It doesn't matter on things like that, because everyone who actually pks wear RoWs and no one wears Arcane Shields.

I doubt everyone who pk's wears rows.
And they still matter, because in the end, they are still obtainable items that help resist certain elements.

They're obtainable, but they're hardly used. Just because they exist doesn't mean they need to be accounted for, especially if no one uses it.

Shields such as Arcane and Moon decrease the magic resistance with RoWs equipped rather than increase the resistance.

They're hardly used because their only main perk is speed +1 and resist magic +5, which hardly helps.

Why are you talking about shields in a forum that's discussing updates on wands?

Crono was making a valid point and whats wrong with the casting time? If anything it makes magic more interesting.

Hardly used by choice, they should still be counted because they can be used.

I think he's talking more about that the casting times aren't rounded up... And Tig already explained why that is.
