Nekros AA

[snakeeyes]

I followed my own advice and here you go

"We double ran the numbers on this so here are some of the facts to help the discussion, which needs to slow down on the snarky remarks please.

Nekro Shield
- Lasts 10 seconds if not broken by damage
- 40% Damage reduction for duration
- 15 second debuff where you cannot be reshielded

Glowstik Shield
- Lasts 6 seconds if not broken by damage
- 95/75/55/35/15% Damage Reduction, each section lasts 1.2 seconds with an average damage reduction of 55% for duration
- 15 second debuff where you cannot be reshielded

The main point of interest here is that if the entire Nekro Shield is up for the full 10 seconds, its shield is more effective than Glowstik's. If Nekro's shield is broken early by damage then Glowstik's shield is better, as the total potential mitigation of damage is much larger (by around 150% at level 61)

We don't have any plans to change Glowstik at this time."

this time."
It means the damage reduce shield of nekro is only for 1st hit damage you taken and the second is no more damage reduce? But the glowstick continues but decrease the % dd

No this is a quote from a dev back in 61 cap.

Nekro reduces damage 80%, there are several good threads comparing nekro to glowstick. Nekro prevents stuns but doesn't remove them. Doesn't help with poison or curse either.

Glowstick has a different shield that starts higher at 90% and decreases 10% per second. Doesn't help with stuns but does remove poison or curse. Glows poison pools can slow and or stun.

On a related note multiple nekro and glowstick shields don't stack and in fact can cancel each other. Saying how they cancel each other is complicated. In general count to 5 at least after one shield disappears before using the next one of the same type. It's easier to mix shields nekro,glow, cotton or Oswald.

Wow dude how about you read the descriptions first? Go check glowstik aa
