Overcharged Spell Resist yet Crystal Fragments critting me for 1.2k?

How does that work?

According to esohead your gonna need like 150+ spell damage, is that even possible?

    You're forgetting that with light armor passives, the enemy caster will have spell penetration and thus your spell resistance is effectively much lower than you think it is.

    Try using Annulment (light armor active ability), it effectively reduces ALL incoming spell damage by 50%, i'm not sure if spell resistance applies to it but it's a great way to not die instantly to the mage fest that is cyrodiil.

    Do you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick, it's a very delicate state of mind.

    how you meant to do that when the enemy is in stealth and opens with crystal fragments? constantly spam reflective scale everywhere you go?

    It's cheaper than a single bolt (which you claim is spammable) so why not?

    Yes it is possible to have 150+ spell damage, but you will need jewellry specd for this purpose.

    Sorcs do a whole song and dance before they cast shards. If you're looking at the sorc you should have no problem seeing them wind it up and blocking the spell. If you don't see it coming block afterwards cause usually theres something nasty coming soon.

    Funny thing is even if the sorc has casted the CF, if you get the reflect off before it hits you it just bounces off and goes right back in their face.. LOVE IT..

    Yes but it should be the other way around, the closer to zero your spell resist the closer it should be dealing the actual damage stating in the tooltip for the skill, the tooltip for the skill does not say 700-800 damage, let alone 1.2k crits
