What is Hard DR?
Tier monsters have a way to bypass damage reduction methods of all types, causing them to have a minimum amount of damage they must apply to their target. This can cause them to hit all players fairly equally, that is, if they have enough dr to resist the amount of damage that is preventable. This provides an opportunity to balance out the classes a bit more, without nerfing mages or other “should be soft” classes. Hard DR is this new system to do exactly that. It reduces the minimum damage that must be done for monsters with a tier greater than one. The amount reduced is different for each class.
Knights: 25% reduction
Dragon Knights: 20% reduction
Royals: 15% reduction
Dark Elves: 10% reduction
Elves: 5% reduction
Mage: 0% reduction
Illusionist: 0% reduction
Reapers: 0% reduction
To be clear this is a buff to the classes that get the reduction and there is no change for those that do not. There are no nerfs applied with these changes.
