Trial dummy resistances

Grandchamp1989

With the upcoming changes of being able to mix and match gear of different weights, to balance crit/crit chance/penetration, it suddenly opens up more opportunities to get as close to the ideal penetration as possible.

Since Cp 2.0 and the nerfs to penetration I didn't bother too much with reaching this number on Stam, and I heard mag reach it naturally with 7 light - but with the upcoming changes it becomes more interesting.

Does anyone remember exactly how many resistances the trial dummy got left after all its native debuffs are applied?

I assume the resistances and penetration cancel each other in a 1:1 ratio - so if the trial dummy got 5k resistances left I need 5k pen, correct?

From https://eso-u.com/articles/guide_on_target_dummies:

"The total resistance (Physical or Spell) is: 3212 (as of Update 28/Markarth)"

And yes, 5k penetration will cancel out 5k resistance, as long as they're both of the same type (physical / spell).

If the trial dummy has been updated for the new Alkosh at 6k, though, then the remaining resists will need to be adjusted from that Markarth number to be accurate for Waking Flame.

You should be able to test the dummy’s resists by using the 2-handed ultimate on it.
