Need help, figure this out.

The builds:

Pure INT A: Has full SOS +5 8th degree armour, 100% add parry ratio blue, 4-5 int/str on all items. Fully farmed (Ice, lightning, fire, Hueksal all lvl 68-70). Has all 8th degree accessories including SOS necklace, resistance to ice, burn, lightning.


Pure INT B: Has standard +3-5 GARMENT, added parry ratio blue, 4-5 int/str on items. Fully farmed (Ice, lightning, fire, Hueksal all 68-70). Has all 8th degree accessories, resistance to ice, rest unknown.


Pure STR: Garments, fully farmed.

No scrolls are used by either, both are spear users.



The situation:


Now here comes the pure str, does rounds of 1 vs 1 with Pure int A and B. Pure int B takes the same and sometimes slightly more damage than Pure int A. Slightly more being 300 more damage on average. This is when Pure Str uses SSS, when mars is used, Pure int B takes around 800 more damage.

Basically what i'm getting at is, how does Pure int B have almost the same resistance to the Pure Str guy as Pure int A does? Both spear ints.

I did a few tests, examined it all over a while. I have absolutely no idea how Pure int B can come close to the massive defense of Pure int A, let alone be almost the same as it. We're talking regular garment vs SOS armour here folks, something is definitely wrong. Pure Int A's phy defense is much much higher on the stat combination (major ability) menu.


Theory:

Joymax messed up, maybe having full SOS cancel each other out? That or something is glitched with my character.


Solution:

Trash SOS armour, get SOS garment.




PS - Please don't suggest minor obvious things such as maybe the Pure str used a different buff, ect. It was all examined closely.






On a side not, what is raising 1 mastery equivalent to, if anything? (Aka, going from 69 to 70)

Jewelry. Make sure the jewelry was up to date on Pure Int A.

Player B has more "skill" than Player A. That skill translates into "1337n355" which increases his defense. However, Player A bought gold, and has a full set of SoS. However, he does not have "skill", and he suffers from less defense bonus from "leetness". However, gold buying>"skill", so Player B still takes more damage.




Seriously?

Your armor either had low parry(0%) without blue added, and had low phys defense compared to his garments. Either that, or he lied about his garms. I'm betting on the latter.
