Is it true that the higher your phys def the less likely your bb will break? Or is it just a rumour?

I donno if there's already a thread on this, I didn't find anything on google so I decided to post the question here, xD

    Its rubbish, mag mobs interupt as well, it does not take into consideration your defences at all. The reason People will tell you this is because anybody with defences that high usually roll with powerful friends, mobs and bosses die faster therefore BB gets interupted less. Not that it matters, you should be working on your phys defence anyway, your post is null.

    It's not related to defense, but I have noticed that BB drops a hell of a lot easier than other static AoEs, for example the Wizard's DB.

    I say this as I am able to keep DB up through the entire fight of the 3rd boss in Caster Nirvana on my Wizard, where BB drops every 5-10 seconds on my Cleric.

    xD That's very true........

    Also something kinda unrelated: I think in caster vana, BB interuptions are related to the mobs sprawned. It seems that if the squad is exp-ed and kills the sprawned mobs (soundboom and the benders), bb breaks much less. :D

    I always assumed bb interupt was related to character level, though. Any verification? If I'm below a mobs level I will be interupted more than if I'm above it, and almost never if I am way about it (ie Rankar).

    I always figured that it was because of a couple of things...

    A. the bosses' AoE is designed to interrupt BB,

    B. Your personal defense values and how much damage you take.

    I mean, way back in the day when I was a little cleric, BBing on Rankar would get interrupted all the time. Later, when I had better gear, not so much. Same with Pole and Nob. now I can pretty much sit right on top of the boss and not worry about it being interrupted, where before I could barely be in close enough range to heal the tank with it.

    Personally, there's probably multiple factors that roll into what causes the "interrupt" that drops your BB. In classic D&D, it was based on the amount of concentration that you had, and the attacks could roll against that. A number higher than your concentration and your spell was interrupted/canceled.

    who... in the world said that...

    if thats true then every nirvana to R9 cleric with pdef on them would never break bubble while the TT60 geared would be breaking every 10 sec or so.

    ohhhh but r9 clerics never BB... they are DDs, too cool to heal... b:shutup

    xD but yes, good point... /thread closed i guess

    I do agree with the level thing though, cos the bb-ing at rankar thing makes sense.
