Thread: Noob question here, whats Mitigation?
Sorry people but i have no clue what mitigation is or how it is supposed to work. Any explanation is welcome, thanks
Mitigation is the ability of advanced proferssions to take less damage from combat.
It comes in 2 kinds:
Ranged
Melee
The basic premise, is that mitigation lowers the maximum value of the damage range of something trying to hit you.
So if a mob does 50-400 points, then mitigation will make it 50 - 325.
There are several levels of both ranged and melee mitigation. The second one stops more damage.
It is mostly for fighting high end monsters. (because their damage ranges are bigger).
50 points off mitigation on a mob that does 40-50 pts of damage makes the mob do 40-40.. not a big deal... but on the 370 damage mobs it lowers the max damage a lot for every hit (down to 320 max).
This is the way I understand it.. there should be better posts in combatant forums.
