basically right now we’re all just stacking hp because resists don’t feel impactful. i’d rather use hp cards instead of resist cards because the 5k more hp is better when i get hit than what the resists lower the hit by.
i feel like there’s almost no reason to use any shield other than sun for nearly all classes right now.

That's what pants / chest mvp cards are for

One thing I realize is the shield resistence card works against any mob with that element. The pants resistance card works from damage of that element (monsters hits neutral, only their skills could have elemental dmg).
But I still think HP is better than resistance rn.
I'm a mage, and I play with a knight friend. It's very difficult I receive a melee hit, but spells are very common. I was using Sun Emblem and Aegis and 1 spell take 80% of my HP, then I decided to switch to Arrowcatcher, and the same monsters need 4 spells to kill me.

do you mind explaining how the chest mvp cards work?
it says “makes you that element”

They make you that element

is that similar to let’s say i’m using a fire attack against a fire enemy
it will work similarly?
as in a portion of it is lowered in dmg

It makes your defense that element
Mob auto attacks are neutral but their spells are elemental

This is tricky with bosses they usually use two elements so be careful with the build

From my experience I feel it's quite the opposite. I'm playing knight and I started swapping from HP to Resist and I think it was a good decision.
Testing in library now, mob's Death Coil went from 1094-1122 range to 798-812 when I added a 25% Undead Resist on shield. Considering I usually kill 10+ mobs at once I feel this is way more impactful than having more HP.
I'm using Full +3 Str weaver set now and have 32k HP. I really don't think it would make any difference having 50k+ HP. At least not now
Just tested against Imp Devil's Meteor.
No resistance: 17990
+25% (shield): 10664
+55% Fire resistance (shield+legs): 7990
Of course, max HP will make a huge difference to avoid you getting 1-shot (or 2-shot). But I think the damage reduction you get from Resists are actually pretty good.

Trauski, could you also provide your MDEF as well?
I ask because Imp is hitting me for 36k without resist, and I feel like there might be some correlation with MDEF.
Mine is: 99 + 195.
I suspect yours is much higher, or something else is going on?
The meteor is my last big hurdle to figure out for bossing, and I was going to try shield + weaver for the full 55% reduction as well as shooting for Scorp King.
