Raid Boss Mitigation Levels

Wyrd · 08-31-2008, 11:36 AM

Has anyone done math to calc out how much mitigation raid bosses have?

Is there a maximum amount of mit debuffs you can put on a raid boss, where more just dont help (e.g. soft cap)?

Thanks!

Don't think so, you would probably have to test it first to get some numbers to work with.

Yes, and the damage increase is about 50% on a fully debuffed mob compared to a non-debuffed mob (I am not 100% sure, so I might be wrong on that).

You will get a better answer if you ask in 'Combat Discussion'.

It's hard to say really, to my knowledge I have never seen or heard of any "debuff chart" so to speak, that states of how much mitigation you can actually take away from a mob before it becomes meaningless, I also don't know if raid mobs ( or mobs in general ) even have + mitigation to begin with.

If there is information like this out there though then I would certainly love to see it, as imo it would give greater insight as to how many debuffs are possibly being wasted on raids. Think about it, with how many classes that have a mit debuff, you figured at peak times the raid is debuffing the mobs mit by like 15k +, give or take?

Hard to pull numbers off the top of my head but that was just a rough guess.

IMO 80+ raid mobs miti is sitting at 15-20k (0% actual damage reduction but something to be debuffed), so we are almost capped at debuffs..and may even get over it a bit in a good raid.

Nah. They're not that high.

Snares are unresistable so should be easy to land on incoming and rake should rarely ever miss if followed behind a defense debuff or two. From there on it should be below zero and the other debuffs help in raising damage and further lowering the resist rate.

Shit, m1 dispatched/mythical is about 5.5k alone, I didn't realise their Mit was that low.

It is still not fully debuffed. You don't notice any damage increase (at least I think so, can't remember) until the mob is going in to minus values on mitigation.
