Holy crap I just got a shield with 49% magic reflect!

Fleshbore causes bleeding, and also does damage.

Thaumites causes confusion and also does damage.

That may explain it. I am not certain.

 

The formula I posted is exactly what happens. It ends when you reach a → sign.

Unlike It doesn't increase damage.

If succeeds it never even tests - the spell cannot be resisted.

Note: this is just from my own testing.

 

I think that is more like , just think of as instead of . For purposes of combat ordering, rather than actual mechanics.

 

This. The purpose of is not to make your spells better or deal more damage - it is to make sure you can always actually use your spells, even against high-resistance enemies.

 

I am fairly certain I have had a haywire and resist show up in the same spell cast. Wish I could screen shot this stuff. But with no combat log and no way to click it as short as it is on the screen, it is hard to do.

 

as far as I understand, it checks for everything but if the haywire does happen, the rest if effectively cosmetic. I dont know the engine though so I cannot say anything for sure but it is not uncommon in game engines (like, for instance, in Warcraft III´s map engine where it will show multiple critical hits but only the first of them will be the actual crit)
