An Open House thread with numbers is a great idea. That way folks will know they are welcome.

As primarily a soloist, Buffy is very keen on trying to ensure she can bust through any foe's resistances using only her own debuffs. We know that the max resistances you will encounter in the game is just over 18k. We also know that those high resistance levels are found on group dungeon bosses - which Buffy routinely hunts.
We also know that overland trash mobs like wolves and trolls have about 9k resists. But our question has long been how much resist do world bosses and group dungeon trash mobs have?

I've asked on the ESO official forums and gotten inconclusive answers as to what experienced players 'think'. The best clue we got was to test it ourselves. This involves using the Two Handed weapon skill with briefly transfers 100% of a foe's resistance to you. Okay. Two Handed to 50 to get the ultimate. . . obviously a job for Acadian since Buffy wouldn't know which end of a melee weapon is which.

So. . . Acadian used xp scrolls and the current double xp event to do exactly that and can now slot the 2H ultimate. Sure enough, when you smack a mob with that ultimate it transfers all their resists to you. And, happily, Combat Metrix addon captures that quite nicely. For example, we know Acadian goes into a fight with his resists at 33k. Smacking a group dungeon boss shows up on Combat Metrix as his resists were normally 33k but peaked at 51k. Therefore, no surprise that the boss has the expected 18k resists. Once we figured how to definitively test, the rest was easy and here's our results:

Group dungeon bosses - 18k.
Group dungeon trash - 18k.
World bosses - 9k.
Overland trash - 9k.

Wow, you didn't tell me you were doing all this with Acadian! Really interesting stuff; I always love to hear about experiments like this! Thanks for the info; really good to know!
