Toughness vs Spell resistance

[SolomonGrundy 1]

So I'm trying to map skills for various characters, and on the defensive side of the ball I know I have to take Armor Lore, and Constitution to survive in Niob (or platinum for that matter)

 

ANYWAY, I was looking at the descriptions and mastery for both

 

TOUGHNESS

 

 

SPELL RESISTANCE

 

Is it just me or does spell resistance give you "more?" Or does spell intensity outpace spell resistance? Or is there something else I'm not seeing (like enemy CAs not being considered *spells*...

 

Feedback?

Toghness all the way. It gives resistance against everything while Spell Res only against combat arts.

Toughness, of course. This skill, boosted by some equip can turn your char into a demi-god

Heya,

 

I would have to vouch for Toughness

 

There is also a guide by Soldats on the skill.

And I can easily provide the FDM with a guide how to become a demi-god with each char based on those findings...

None of both if you are highelf. Can't do toughness anyway and you have expulse magic, crystal skin mirror and other options to fight enemy Combat Arts.

None of my characters have toughness or spell-resistance. But that is just normal, giving that the 9 month I play sacred2 I spend 8 with melee elves and 1 with a dryads. The 5 other classes I will play till sacred3 is hopefully out in 3 years

I think spell resistance. Example that red one speel (red circle on flat) from mechanical guardians have very big damage. With spell resistance it will decrease it on low value.

These fire traps are easy to run around if player pays attention when playing.
