-Magic Damage

Either swap out the neck and feet or go full resist, mix isn't worthwhile unless he requires substantially less earth resist gear than comparable NMs.

What is the actual value of damage reduced by MDB? Wiki says its slightly less than 1% per MDB. Assuming the value is a static .9% or so then MDB gear like iron ram would over take most MDR gear in those slots in terms of overall damage mitigation. My understanding of MDB, however, is that it is a ratio. Assuming that then the values would not be static? Can anyone clarify?

I've heard that Cuelebre takes a relatively low amount of earth resist. Like only a bit over 200 or so. But can't find much on wiki

It's not static.

In the dmg equation it goes all the other stuff * MAB/MDB...

So at 0 MDB +1 would reduce dmg by .99%. At say 100 +1 would reduce dmg by .24%

Which neck piece would you suggest? Just Ritter gorget?

Really? Hmmm, I was wondering also if that Iron Ram Lance would be better than Auster's Staff (Earth resist+20)? But like you said there isn't enough info on wiki

I forgot my MDT set for Cuelebre so all I had was Shell V and an Iron Ram Lance and I still took less than 100 damage from normal attacks, aprroximately 300 from Ochre Blast. An MDT set for him is more than adequate.
