Dunmer flame resist vs Vampire flame weakness

How much flame damage does the Dunmer flame resist offset if you're a vampire? (Dunmer and Vampire passives maxed out, stage 4 vampirism). I recently created a Dunmer vampire magicka nightblade and have gotten the character to level 24. Having a blast playing this but wondering how viable she'll be for vet trials/dungeons and vMA. I know you can use the Bloody Mara drink or just feed to get to stage 1 vampirism but I'd prefer to stay at stage 4 if possible. I'd also prefer not to use jewelry with flame resist as I'd rather have arcane on those.

As a note, I probably won't even be using any of the vampire abilities, I just like playing as a vampire and the passives are nice. If needed though, I'll just run at stage 1 for group content and then go back to stage 4 when questing. Of course, if this is the case I could have just run an Altmer vampire instead.

    Vampire: 25% more damage from fire
    Dunmer: 2079 flame resistance. 32000 = 50% migitation. So 2000/32000 * 50% = 3,125% less damage from fire.

    So still you are getting 22% more from fire.

    Ok, thanks. Where does 32k = 50% mitigation come from?

    It' great for stats but for roleplay very stupid. Personally dont see how a dragonknight who uses all flame abilities can be a vampire at the same time.

    Lol fiery breath should hurt you more than your opponent tbh

    Not sure why you're bringing up DK since I stated my character is a NB. That said, yes I agree regarding flame dps for vampires being odd. I wish ice/frost did damage in line with flame instead of providing defensive abilities. There should be options to make any elemental either damage or shield (through morphs or something).

    I'm pretty sure that 2079 is around or just below 10%...

    After that who cares?
    They're a mile away and you've got their shoes.
