Guild Wars 2

I was wondering how the agony resistance mechanics work. Is it a percentage (+5 agony resistance = 5% less damage from agony), or a straight -5 to the damage you receive from agony?

Hmm thanks for the link…Doesn’t really seem to make sense tho. If 5 agony resistance gives 50% reduction in damage received, will 10 agony resistance give 75% reduction or 100% reduction? Either way, doesn’t scale the way I would have expected. Will it be necessary to get full (Infused) armor with infusions if we want to do maximum fotm levels? Or will it give some diminishing return?

I suspect it’s that agony sources have a magnitude, and the resulting damage is based on that minus your agony resist.
