Top 10 Strongest Non-Smurfs for every tier continued

[WeeklyBattles]

Tbh a lot of those passives are worthless, not really seeing anything there that would make a notable difference against most DGM characters.

It's mostly the chaos damage that makes them dangerous

As for the layers?

Anywhere from 5 to 70, though the amount of resistances the opponent has dont really matter due to his resistance negation

 

[Deceived3596]

Anywhere from 5 to 70

Yeah....... you definitely have to provide evidence for that.

though the amount of resistances the opponent has dont really matter due to his resistance negation

I don't believe we treat Resistance Negation as this ability which can negate any resistance, regardless of layering if said ability has never negated a resistance on that level before, but i could be wrong so i'll have to create a thread about it later today for more context.

 

[Planck69]

Yeah....... you definitely have to provide evidence for that.

You're right. We do not.

Honestly, this discussion is giving me flashbacks to pre-revision Nicol Bolas vs Bai Xiaochun, where egregious claims were supported with game ability descriptions of hilarious ambiguity.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Yeah....... you definitely have to provide evidence for that.

Mages get an additional layer of magic resistance for ever resistances for every level they are. Illidan is max level even in his early key.

To be fair, do they have resistance to chaos manipulation? And Chaos damage also negates physical durability and magic-enhanced defenses

 

[WeeklyBattles]

You're right. We do not.

Honestly, this discussion is giving me flashbacks to pre-revision Nicol Bolas vs Bai Xiaochun, where egregious claims were supported with game ability descriptions of hilarious ambiguity.

Bolas would win that

 

[Planck69]

Bolas would win that

Well yes, he probably likely would with his current profile but that's not really relevant. My main point was back before his profile had anything of note, you would use descriptions that didn't imply at all what ability or resistance you would claim he had.

 

[Deceived3596]

Can i have actual scans of this instead of just your explanation? i'm not saying you're lying or anything like that, i just want more context about how Stormrage's layering works.

To be fair, do they have resistance to chaos manipulation? And Chaos damage also negates physical durability and magic-enhanced defenses

They don't resist Chaos Manipulation itself but they heavily resist a bunch of the esoteric abilities that are gained through Chaos Damage or other magical schools, which would allow them to resist the effects of said magic, just not the actual source of said magic.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Ah, yeah thats fair, hell even now his profile is only about a third of what he actually has

Magic Absorption

Increases all resistances by 1 per level and causes all spells you fully resist to restore 2% of your total mana. 1 sec cooldown. Requires Mage.

www.wowhead.com

And this is on top of the innate resistances that Illidan gets due to his heritage as a Night Elf and his innate magic resistances due to his demon half

They don't resist Chaos Manipulation itself but they heavily resist a bunch of the esoteric abilities that are gained through Chaos Damage or other magical schools, which would allow them to resist the effects of said magic, just not the actual source of said magic.

Yeah thats the thing, those other schools all have their damage changed into Chaos damage regardless of the initial school they came from. Resisting those schools wouldnt really help as the spells wouldnt be dealing those types of damage.

 

[Deceived3596]

And this is on top of the innate resistances that Illidan gets due to his heritage as a Night Elf and his innate magic resistances due to his demon half

Yeah...... this wouldn't give "layered" resistances for what we consider as "layered" resistances on the wiki, you'd have to prove that there's a quantifiable difference between say, level 1 resistances and level 2 resistances to the point that abilities which can bypass level 1 resistance can't bypass level 2 resistances, which is most likely an unprovable claim since video games are usually terrible at showing layering differences.

Yeah thats the thing, those other schools all have their damage changed into Chaos damage regardless of the initial school they came from. Resisting those schools wouldnt really help as the spells wouldnt be dealing those types of damage.

Doesn't really address my point since i'm saying the "source" or "school" of said magic would affect D.Gray-Man characters but the actual "effects" of said abilities won't given their layered resistances.

I...did though? The link i posted is that evidence, with each rank in the class you gain outright immunity to more and more spells

Doesn't really address my point since i'm saying the "source" or "school" of said magic would affect D.Gray-Man characters but the actual "effects" of said abilities won't given their layered resistances.

Thats the thing though, the source or school means nothing here, all of it gets lumped together as chaos damage, there isnt any other kind of damage being dealt, and the fact thatthey dont resist Chaos manip on top of it ignoring physical durability and defenses means it will royally **** them over

 

[LordGinSama]

"Immunity." isn't a real thing unless you have a bunch of evidence for that being the case. I also gotta agree with Deceived here on that level system not counting as actual "layers.".



A layered ability would look more like character A posses soul hax that works on billions. Character B is resistant to character A's soul hax, but character C is able to overpower that resistance of character B. That's one layer, rinse lather and repeat.



Simply gaining a increase in addition to one's former resistances doesn't grant layers. Layers would require you to bypass a resistance and so on and so forth.

• Nether Protection: When the Warlock absorbs damage through Shadow Ward, Nether Ward or other effects, they gain Nether Protection, reducing all damage by that spell school by 30% for 12 seconds.

All of these are passive abilities Illidan has. Anything here that is listed as dealing damage bypasses resistances as it deals Chaos damage, which fully ignores physical defenses, armor, and resistances as well as other forms of damage-mitigating magic

None of these deal damage passively. They are either stat amps, increase his defences, buff attributes of other attacks, do something in reaction to their's or the opponent's actions, or require several seconds to pass to activate their non-damaging effects.

 

[LordGinSama]

Tbh the whole levels thing is a lot like me trying to place users at 100% Synchronization rates at 100 layers since higher Synchronization rates grant higher resistances and abilities.


But I'm not gonna do that for obvious reasons.

 

[Deceived3596]

I...did though? The link i posted is that evidence, with each rank in the class you gain outright immunity to more and more spells

It doesn't say that? it specifically says "Increases all resistances by 1 per level and causes all spells you fully resist to restore 2% of your total mana." This isn't saying that every new level in Magic Absorption grants more and more immunities/resistances toward magical abilities but rather it increases the amount of mana regained after being hit by magical attacks you inherently/already have full resistance towards.

This also doesn't prove that having a higher level of Magic Absorption means you can completely resist the magic of people which can bypass lower levels of Magic Absorption, you're making an assumption which doesn't have any evidence behind it being true.

Thats the thing though, the source or school means nothing here, all of it gets lumped together as chaos damage, there isnt any other kind of damage being dealt, and the fact thatthey dont resist Chaos manip on top of it ignoring physical durability and defenses means it will royally **** them over

Already addressed the Chaos Manipulation multiple times, the actual source of said magic doesn't matter since D.Gray-Man characters resist the vast majority of the "effects" which are used by said magic, such as Soul Manipulation, Ice Manipulation etc. Also the Resistance Negation point has also already been addressed as well, until you can provide actual valid layer scaling for Stormrage then he isn't bypassing D.Gray-Man 5-B's resistances since they're more layered then anything Stormrage has actually negated before.

Or me using each layer of Qi Condensation to justify 80 layers of resistance for Ergenverse 4-As.

I mean thats cool and all but in Warcraft thats how their resistances actually work, its the same mechanic as verses like Warhammer and D&D

"It definitely works like that in this verse because it works. Definitely."

I've very little clue of the layering going on in either of those settings so I'm not quite sure what I should take away from that.

Yes, it does say exactly that. As you gain higher levels of magic resistance you gain immunity to more spells, because your resistance to said magic is increasing as you level up.

Already addressed the Chaos Manipulation multiple times, the actual source of said magic doesn't matter since D.Gray-Man characters resist the vast majority of the "effects" which are used by said magic, such as Soul Manipulation, Ice Manipulation etc. Also the Resistance Negation point has also already been addressed as well, until you can provide actual valid layer scaling for Stormrage then he isn't bypassing D.Gray-Man 5-B's resistances since they're more layered then anything Stormrage has actually negated before.

The spells dont deal soul damage, ice damage, etc. they deal exclusvely Chaos damage and nothing else. D. Gray Man dont have resistance to chaos manip or physical durability negation so theres nothing that needs to be proven for Illidan. You have to prove that D. Gray Man resists Illidan's Chaos damage

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

Wanked mechanic then

Higher levels = higher layers of resistances for Warcraft, Warhammer, and D&D

 

[WeeklyBattles]

I mean youre free to make a CRT for those verses if you disagree with them but the mechanics of those verses make it very clear that thats how they work

 

[LordGinSama]

"Physical durability negation."


Resistance to several forms of durability negation such as matter destruction would like to disagree with you.

 

[Deceived3596]

Yes, it does say exactly that. As you gain higher levels of magic resistance you gain immunity to more spells, because your resistance to said magic is increasing as you level up.

It deadass doesn't say that Weekly, you're extrapolating something that isn't stated or implied, until you can provide actual evidence for your claim you can't make such an assumption.

The spells dont deal soul damage, ice damage, etc. they deal exclusvely Chaos damage and nothing else. D. Gray Man dont have resistance to chaos manip or physical durability negation so theres nothing that needs to be proven for Illidan. You have to prove that D. Gray Man resists Illidan's Chaos damage

So you're telling me Chaos Damage doesn't induce any esoteric effects like Soul Manipulation but rather only negates physical durability through Chaos Manipulation?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

"Physical durability negation."

Resistance to several forms of durability negation such as matter destruction would like to disagree with you.

Cool? Illidan's dura negation isnt that, so unless they have a resistance to Illidan's form of durability negation im not sure what youre trying to argue

 

[WeeklyBattles]

It deadass doesn't say that Weekly, you're extrapolating something that isn't stated or implied, until you can provide actual evidence for your claim you can't make such an assumption.

My mans, it does in fact say that, we can go on and on ad infinitum but at the end of the day that is how his stuff works

Resistance

Resistance is a combat statistic that mitigates incoming magic damage and effects. Magic spells from the following five schools can be resisted from magical resistance: Fire, Frost, Arcane, Nature, and Shadow. There is no resistance stat for Holy, and as such no players nor NPCs can resist Holy...

Immune

Immunity is an avoidance mechanic available to both players and NPCs. It can be triggered by both items and spells, and it is also sometimes native.

wowpedia.fandom.com

So you're telling me Chaos Damage doesn't induce any esoteric effects like Soul Manipulation but rather only negates physical durability through Chaos Manipulation?

It negates all forms of physical durability, magic-enhanced defenses, and resistances

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Honestly gonna wait for Reaper, he can explain the mechanics better than i can lol

 

[Arcker123]

Honestly gonna wait for Reaper, he can explain the mechanics better than i can lol

I doubt you could give an explanation to this claim without it sounding like an NLF

 

[WeeklyBattles]

I doubt you could give an explanation to this claim without it sounding like an NLF

Thats rather rude, i havent treated anything like an NLF thus far

 

[DaReaperMan]

To be fair, I haven't played WoW in awhile, but let's do this

Yeah, the level of the resistance increases with each level, it's probably layered like that, but that really depends on how much bullshit you accept for WoW's game mechanics as a whole, but in the end, they're what's important, DnD is infamously layered and the level of P O W E R! Is what they get layered for.

Another thing to note is that Illidan can toggle off his chaos damage on his spells, he did this a lot in the Illidan novel where he did a lot of magic that wasn't chaos, so if Illidan feels like it he can throw around a raw Pyroblast or something along those lines

 

[Deceived3596]

Aren't all of Ikki's High 7-A ratings based around a single attack? if so wouldn't that remove him from the High 7-A placement since you physically need to be that tier for more than one attack?
