Shattered Kingdoms

Characters that successfully magic resist against a spell will still receive healing from it, unless the caster of the spell is located in a different area than the resisting character. For example, a sorcerer in Exile attempting to summon a barbarian from Teron would have failed in the summon but would have succeeded in providing remote healing. The same with spells such as gate and voodoo. Those spells can still heal semi-remotely, but only if both the caster and target are in the same area.

In answer to your original question though, you can also be healed by using suppression.

Dulrik saw how hardcore my mercenary was and changed protection to nerf her.

Is this via training, or with training and enchants, or for us to figure out ourselves?

I had an NPC toss an interesting spells at me that I've never seen before, that would seem to fit with some of the new changes. If the NPC-only spells aren't consider strictly IC info, any chance we could get some info on it?

Physical attacks such as piercing, slashing and bashing are clearly not magical. For this purpose, acid and sonic damage have also been defined as not being magical. All other damage types are considered to have a magical origin. Deadly wrath would therefore be considered magical. However, if you take deadly wrath damage from a weapon, usually only half the damage is considered magical while the other half is from the physical weapon. Therefore this ability would block half the damage.

It does apply to weapon types as defined above. It applies to any damage of a magical nature that was not already directly resisted by originating from a spell. For example, spirit aura is cast on the shaman and so was not resistible by the opponent. Now if a MR barbarian attacks a shaman with spirit aura, the spirits aura would still reduce incoming damage to the shaman but the reflected spirit damage back to the barbarian can be resisted on a per attack basis.

Eh... I don't feel strongly either way about revealing this. I guess I'll let you figure it out.


There were no new spells introduced in this update.

I may have missed it but does that mean the magic damage can be resisted and it also heal since you resisted it?

MR Healing is still only granted for resisting an actual spell. This is a closely related, but new and separate mechanic.

Guess it's time to change characters again

I'm not planning on rolling a new character, but I can remember what a tool you were when you do it yourself, and start playing on my side.
