I've been trying to nail the exact damage and resistance formulas down for the past couple of days and after reading this thread I was finally able to get a handle on at least the simpliest of these: Healing.
The Healing formula is pretty simple:
Amount Healed = ((Ability HPS * (100% + Healing Bonus %)) + Healing) * Tactic's Damage Boost * Launch Time
Still... when trying to apply this same formula to damage, I'm normally off by too much to attribute to rounding errors, thus without being able to know how much damage goes in, I can't really get any resistance formula out.
Thankfully though, all of the laughter over "ok, take your clothes off" on TS was not lost since I was able to come up with a rough resistance guide:
1 Point of Resistance = -.67 Damage Taken, in whole numbers...
3 Points of Resistance = -2 Damage Taken
Or, in English: for every 3 points of resistance, you'll take 2 less points of damage.
Also, it's important to remember that HCFrog has stated that the "max useful resistance is (Level * 5)." Now, is that based off of your level alone or off of your opponent's level (i.e. the effective cap would be higher if you are fighting a level 52 then if you were fighting another 50)?
How does your Resistance Bonus come into play? No clue as, it's "not playing nicely", but it isn't something as simple as Total Resistance = Resistance + Bonus
.
Hopefully this will help get these nailed down before long.
