Actually Open wounds is meaningless vs such sorceress.
But Amp damage will probably harm because mdr overflow is taken into account after %dr - so if you lose 100%dr over +50%, then mdr overflow is divided by 3 !

How many BvA will have Lacerator in switch ??



A barbarian is not supposed to discover anything...

i know for sure that pdr works before dr% and mdr works before res%
how come mdr/pdr-overflow would work after?

if what  your saying is correct, then 50%dr would help your mdr-overflow(lowering it to 50%mdr needed), witch i not beleave!

Yes, pdr and mdr both work before %res (elemental or physical res).

But overflow is taken into account last !

Thats the point of this build : use 50%dr to double mdr-overflow. Else I wouldnt use Stormshield but Gerke

When an attack applies magic or elemental damage and physical damage and MDR > magic or elemental damage, the excess is applied to physical damage after Damage Resist/Damage Reduced by % has been applied.

Attack applying 100 physical damage and 50 fire, 50 lightning and 50 cold damage to a target with MDR 100 and DR 50%, would apply no fire (50-100 = -50), lightning (-50) or cold (-50) damage and 50 physical damage before excess MDR (-150 in total) applied: this would result in no (100-150 < 0) damage.

(...)
should they not write:
100*50%dr+(50-100fire)+(50-100COLD)+(50-100light)=
(50-150<0)
instead of (100-150<0)

I owned fire build of such sorc at ladder. Barb should let this sorc bleed to 1 hp and then finish her with widowmaker, that is all.
