Hello,
i'm still new to this game so please interrupt me if i might begin with false assumptions.
This is concerning pve, im not into pvp and i dont care for pvp, i want to max my character for pve.
---
mod4 GF mark change:
"Mark: Targets who are marked have -20% damage resistance against strikes from the Guardian Fighter."
As far as i know, the highest damage resistance one would encounter in pve would be 24% on bosses (1.
Is that correct?). While we are at it - ive read this number in various guides, but is there any source to this?
Now, adding 4 DEX would end up having 24% resistance ignored on marked targets. (2.Is having "-20% damage resistance" and "resistance ignored" the same thing?)
3. Does that "mark" status only count for the tab-mark or also for the targets being marked from "enforced threat"?
It would be obvious by now, but what im aiming at is - 4. Would the ArP-stat become close to obsolete for the GF in PVE?
Any thoughts? Am i off the track? Looking forward to everyones opinion, the more detailed the better (-:

The way I understand it NPCs cannot be taken below 0% DR. After factoring in your DEX any excess RI from Arpen would be going to waste.
Still wondering why it's called " -20% damage resistance" then though, im not quite convinced but looking for clarification.
Princess Amber - DC
Shieldmaiden Amber - GF
Valkyrie Amber - GWF
Huntress Amber - HR
Ah, I'm with you now.
And yes, it seems kattefjaes is correct, Mark is a damage buff of 20% and not resistance ignored.
So OP, ignore Mark when calculating your Resistance Ignored. Instead take your Dexterity into account first then use your Armour Penetration stat to reach the 24% mark.
An example using my GF would be:
Dexterity gives me 8% Resistance Ignored, so I have Armour Penetration stacked to 16%, for a total of 24% Resistance Ignored.
Crit and power become good dumping grounds. With the new changes to Reckless Attacker and coupled with Timeless Hero armour, a GF can reach ~35% crit chance at times while investing around 1800 - 2000 points in crit. Manage everything well and you will be dropping 45k Anvil of Boom crits without a Vorpal.
