That was a very helpful answer, thank you. I was curious about it too.
The 3000 came from the enchant, assuming you enchant all three of your jewelery pieces with the 1000 fire resist. Also, I don't think that's scaled to vr14... numbers are numbers, right?
Now that Vampire vulnerability to fire has been lowered to 25%, without 1000 fire resist enchants on jewelry, how many CP points do I need in Steed elemental defender to eliminate the 25% penalty? And does Steed spell shield resistance also help here?
