Hey guys,
I have a problem. I have a lvl 20 Warrior/Ele... and I can take physical damage with him just fine.. But when it comes to Magical Damage he just craps out and takes insane amounts of damage.... is there anything that i can use to counteract this? i have been searching all over the forums to see what i can find... but no luck so far!!!
please email me at [email protected]

By magical you mean....
Dancing Blade
Elemental Resistance (Mesmer), Ward Against Elements (Ele) comes to mind, or just ur standard warrior armor buffs like "Watch Yourself" or Dolyak Signet.
bleh
armour of earth it gives you a good 45+ armour for elemental and physical damage and should only be slowing you just a little if u use this aswell as watch yourself or dolyak signet or even defy pain u can tank extremly well blus you could also change your armour say if u were wearing glads armour change to platemail which offers 85 to all dmg as aposed to 80 glads gives also go for 16 shield

Well it all depends on your set up I find that my warrior can manage to drop the Desert Hydra damage down to 8-13 damage from their spells a hit.

Obsidian Flesh means you cant be targeted by spells if thats what you wanted by magical damage

Downside to Obsidian flesh is I don't think a warrior can keep it up non-stop.

as many people have already mentioned, try looking at skills that give you +xx armor. it helps a lot.

How far are you in the game (Level 20 doesn't quite narrow it down entirely nowadays), what set of armour do you use, upgrades on your weapon, axe sword or hammer, shield defense, define "insane" amounts of damage.
Evil KT Bug
ok... well that helps out a lot. i am going to look into this obsidian flesh thing! my warrior isn't ascended yet.... but very close. i have platemail armor. I have a fellblade and a shadow shield. and what i mean by insane is that any other place i go (ascalon, borlis pass, shiverpeaks, even as much as lions arch) i can take damage all day long. but you get me out in magumma jungle near a wind rider or anything that uses spells... i am screwed! Like 10 hits or so... from multiple monsters... and i am so dead!
thanks for the suggestions guys!

Aha. Go to Henge of Denravi. Get the Liutenants Helmet. It halves the duration of hexes on you = half damage from wind riders or any other hexing caster.
Lord Sabir
Get the 85 Wyvern or Platemail armor, and get an Armor +7 (vs Elemental damage) for your weapon, and a shield.

Evil KT Bug Wind Riders use armour ignoring damage, that's why they're killing you. In addition, they also toss around Conjure Phantasm which is degeneration. Naturally, any class will fall to that regardless of defense eventually. I can't recall whether or not they use Shatter Enchantment; if so stop casting enchantments before you encounter them. Cry of Frustration can also be avoided provided you're not using any skills that take too long. Note that this includes clicking an attack skill too early, the AI will register that a skill is in use and they'll nail you with a Cry.

Evil KT Bug you do realize that the enemies are supposed to get harder as you progress through the game, right? so, it kinda makes sense that enemies in the jungle will do more damage than those in ascalon.
also, please tell me that this is your 2nd or 3rd or 4th character.

Lol I love your posts Murder.....
I found just using the skill "Watch Yourself" helped me enormously in the later levels. It was much more useful than mending!
Still it wouldn't be much of a game if you were strong agaist everything. Warriors gotta work with the team just like everyone else.

i am not saying that i want to be invincbile. i am just mearly asking a question to why i am taking so much damage against magical damage only. it just seems to be a little too much compared to monsters on the same level.
SnipiousMax
Are you running out ahead of your party?
Evil KT Bug
no i am not... i am doing everything that i am supposed to be doing... i am not asking this question and being an idiot. i am just asking a plain question. maybe my answer lies in the fact that magical characters do more damage than other creatures. i am sorry to ask this stupid question but i don't feel like i should be treated like i'm stupid...
but thanks guys. i think i have it figured out on my own
thanks

ORRRR.... you should try posting your warrior's stats and build.

wrong/bad type of armour?

If you are talking about the quest where you have to drop a message into a log (mysterious message), the wind rider there are killers. First, they overwhelm you with numbers, 2nd mesemer are made to "shut you down" so you can't do what you normally can do.
I forgot the map name of that area, but they have about 10 wind rider in a group patroling the entire map (about 5 groups? 2 are more stationary). Avoid them! No class can stand up to 12+ mesemers with perfect timing cry of furstration (with the exception of spell breaker and obsidian flesh).
God, I wish I have those inhuman reflexes... I would get 8 of myselves into HA/GvG and interrupt EVERYTHING XD

I think i got some tips for you
I tank alot in grentch footprint(outside deldimor warcamp) and i hate the Necro, rangers and mesmers outhere.
when you have bleeding+conjure phantasm on you+life siphon=-10 bibs health regen u got big trouble.
but this is my way to counter it:
1: dolyak signet(to reduce overall dmg(magical and melee)
2: watch yourself(another armor bonus)
3: endure pain(gives me around 270 extra Hp)
4: healing signet((healing of 120)
5: deadly riposte(sword required, great for countering melee attackers)
6: shield bash(shield required, again a great counter against melee)
7: Gladiators Defense(75% blocking chance)
8: RES sig
Armor: all platemail major absorption, major vigor, minor tactics and minor strengh.
weapon: fiery spartha of fortitude +25 health
shield:armor 16 dmg -2 while hexed.
attribute:
tactics 12(+1)
strenght 12(+2)
when you got trouble with windriders and they are killing you to fast, set up dolyak and watch yourself(around a armor boost of 50 armor)
then keep using healing sig to keep your health high.
when they are using cry of frustration, use endure pain.
your party will do the rest(if they dont, they are noobs)
with this build I can survive 10 stone summit mesmers necro warriors and rangers (lvl 20+)(other spellcasters, big groups got the same base) a long time(around 10 minutes) this will be enough for your party to kill your enemies

Ps this is a tank build, not a kill build
