SG and negative AC (in General)


Unappreciated Misnomer December 7 2008 10:13 PM EST

my question is that if a minion wearing an HoC and no gear granting AC, with -5 AC would that reduce the SG you take by 5%? would it work both ways?

i think the negative five is treated as zero ac by the system.

don't do it. It'll create a fatal error in the matrix.

It's a predictable system anomaly, though. This will be the sixth time Zion is destroyed.

Which will lead you, inexorably, to me.

Holy Crap. Da Jon has returned all of CB is saved.

What about say, Cesti[5] together with Helm of Clearsight[-5]?

Am I right in thinking that'd be +0%?

I would think so, because your AC would still be 0, so anything like -5 to 0 is still 0.

Just a guess, but I think the system will just add up all base AC first, if it's negative, then it's treated as 0. Anything else goes into the SG damage formula.

What about magical AC? -5 AC would give you more magical damage? Or is that also treated like 0?

How is it possible to get negative 'magical' AC? Either way, it's treated as zero. Same as how negative stats are taken as zero.

Usul [CHOAM] December 9 2008 4:40 AM EST

It says "1% extra damage for each point of base AC on the opponent."

Doesn't mention anything about magical.
