curious about one the reasoning behind one of the rules:
Quote
any c/c sin with more than 1 base pt in lightning sentry may not use + to max or a wisp (1x raven or dwarf is allowed) (sins with 1 pt or none in lightning sentry may use a wisp as well as a raven or dwarf but still may not use + to max res)
a sin with 1/0 pts in LS can use a wisp but not +max% res? 20% sorb is equivalent to +10% max res (excluding the very first hit), so why not allow +10% max res (example: LoLo circlet)?

@KillersDream 20% absorb is not equivalent to +10 to max res test it yourself and see which tanks more (make sure u have enough res in the +10 max setup or results will be screwed anyways)

I'll just use some math.
10,000 dmg light attack
wisp: 10,000 * .17 (pvp penalty) * .25 (75% resistance) * .6 (20% sorb = 40% damage reduction after first hit because you get 20% less dmg, and that dmg turns into hp) = 255
10%: 10,000 * .17 * .15 (85 % resistance) = 255
huh, how about that? they are exactly the same (this is excluding the very first hit)
i still iso reasons/logic
