-Fly Resistance doesn't work.

Just for kicks I decided to see how well I could protect myself from -Fly.

I have Hover, Evasive Maneuvers, and the Hypersonic: -Fly Res special, and I am STILL getting -Fly'd by ONE Arachnos Lieutenant's Web Grenade.

WTF??

These numbers need to be rebalanced so there's a POINT to these powers. Alternatively, just remove -Fly Resistance from the game, since it clearly doesn't work.

I don't know about -Fly resistance working or not, but I have learned that if I stay more than about 10 feet off the ground, those web grenades don't do anything to me unless it comes from a Toxic Tarantula. (30 feet seems to be the safe point for TTs.)

 

Edit: Also, Arachnos web grenades are flagged as unresistable. So -Fly resist isn't going to affect their web grenades. Just have to try to be high enough for them to not affect you. (Edit againhttps://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=v_arachnos.wolf_spider_web_grenade.web_grenade)

 

Edit again: Maybe the altitude was 30 feet and 50 feet respectively? Not sure. I'm a terrible judge of distance. Especially in compressed scale like a video game.

For a moment, I thought the fly protection was like the teleport protection where it's a proc that's up 20% of the time and not always-on protection. Hypersonic's Fly Protection is mag 2, but is -fly even working on magnitude? Seismic Blast's -fly is -160%, as is the -fly in Air Superiority.

 

For comparison, the 20% chance for teleport protection in Gladiator's armor is -100% teleport distance.

I asked about this and the answer that I got was that 100% equals one mag.
