Talk:Crystal Wave

Research question -- magic resistance
What does "magic resistance" in the skill desc refer to? &mdash; Stabber (talk) 12:00, 18 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Without having done extensive research, I believe this largely refers to things like Shielding Hands. I have a sneaking suspicion that the magic resistance is really extraneous text (or missing from many other skills, depending how you want to look at it).   For instance, I wonder what Crystal Wave breaks through that Obsidian Flame doesn't.  --JoDiamonds 12:39, 18 April 2006 (CDT)


 * My suspicion is that it is junk left over from older builds (in the sense of software version) of the game where "magic resistance" actually had a specific meaning. I am fairly certain Shielding Hands works against Crystal Wave, though it should be tested. &mdash; Stabber (talk) 13:14, 18 April 2006 (CDT)

As of May 7, 2006 (probably earlier) it no longer says it ignores armor or magic resistance. In all likelyhood it was just weird wording, or maybe they actually changed the effect of the spell. --JoDiamonds 04:57, 7 May 2006 (CDT)

May 10, 2006 tested and the spell seems to still ignore armor despite the description change.
