Magic Damage Reduction

[neo_sluf]

So how to reduce the damage taken by a hero armor except by using the armor reduction or reducing the gameplay constants. What i mean is reduce the magic damage taken using an item.

I experiment with the rune bracers which has a spell damage reduction.

The hero will deal 1000 magic damage to the hero with -2 armor and with hero armor and it has an ability spell damage reduction with 1.00.

When the hero does not have the ability spell damage reduction it takes 1060 damage

When the hero does have the ability spell damage reduction it takes 1060 damage

It does not affect. So how?

magic damage and spell damage are entirely different.
spell damage is used by most abilities.
magic damage is dealt by auto attacks of caster units such as priests.

AFAIK, you could use Elune's Grace ability if you want to reduce the damage taken from both, spells and magic attacks.

 

[neo_sluf]

so Spell Damage Reduction is for Spell Damage?

 

[Kino]

yes.
