Talk:Damage Reduction

From TheKolWiki

It is not redundant. Damage Reduction is not the same as Damage Absorption; it's a new mechanic added with the Turtle Tamer skill and shield changes. —Yendor 23:01, 20 March 2006 (CST)

• Both Damage Reduction and Damage Absorption, their similar names could be easily befuddle people... *looks around*. Now all we need is Damage Reflection and we'll all be confuzzled. --JRSiebz (☎|§|‡) 23:29, 20 March 2006 (CST)

What somebody really oughta do is go in there and clean up Damage Absorbtion.

• Hmmm, anyone know if reduction is factored in before or after absorption? If its after, I wonder if its possible to eliminate enemy melee damage? --Rikmach 23:43, 25 March 2006 (CST)
  • Since this question came to me also, I'm going to put it on the article itself. --Jonrock 17:34, 25 September 2006 (CDT)

NS and Damage Reduction

Anyone knows if this reduccion works against the Naughty Sorceress ? It seems that Absorcion de Daño dosn't, but this thing is different, ya know. I'm gonna try it, but I'm not yet lvl 11. --Fernando Bono 17:11, 7 June 2006 (CDT)

I just ran about 10 runs with 4 diff combintations: Furry suit/no furry suit, shield/no shield. The results I got are odd, and need a bit more verification.

• With the furry suit, I had Moxie 34. I did two trials with shield, two without. Without the shield, I took either 6 or 7 damage each time. Without the shield, I took exactly 5 damage each time. It seems likely the shield was having some sort of effect.
• Without the furry suit, I had Moxie 104. The damage was a lot more variable, so I did 3 trials with shield/no shield. Without the shield, the min/max was 3/15, and the avg was 8.89. Without the shiled, the min/max was 3/15, and the avg was 8.88. This seems to indicate the shield doing nothing?

So the answer seems to be, it depends? This requires more spading, and I'm right at the end of oxycore.--Starwed 17:19, 14 September 2006 (CDT)

Seriously Out of Date

There are many items on this page that no longer provide Damage Reduction -- or at least it's never clear how someone is getting DR figures. --Barbarian7 10:46, 7 May 2008 (CDT)

• It would help if you'd point out which ones are wrong. As far as I can determine, everything on this listing page is consistent with the article for the specific item. Sometimes, magnitude spading is done on the talk: pages for the corresponding item. --Bagatelle 21:03, 7 May 2008 (CDT)
