I've always been fascinated by lava in DDO. Swimming in Deep Lava would be awesome.

I found this thread :

Aiming for 13 sorc fire savant / 5 fvs / 2 rogue. I'm not trying to get Ranger past lives, this is just a flavor build that I enjoy playing at lvl 13 right now.

I use the lvl 12 Sorc Fire savant prestige line for +10 Fire Resistance, the FVS inherent fire resistance at lvl 5 for another +10. With Fire resistance +30, that's a total of 50 Fire resistance without any expensive GS or red dragonscale robe.

A shield or armor with small augment slot gives +4 fire resistance.

The Rogue fire trap lore enhancement gives +2 fire resistance.

Total of 56 Fire resistance.

Then I have a cheap Fire shield spell or scroll for 50% fire absorption. Farming Sands I get Firestorm Greaves for 33% fire absorption.

Deep Lava = 20d6 fire damage = max 120
Fire resistance: 120 - 56 = 64 damage left to absorb

And then I can start spending ingredients for +15 GS fire resistance and 10%/15%/20% fire absorption.

Now with both greensteel items:
Fire resistance: 120 - 71 = 49 damage left to absorb

I don't understand how multiple fire absorption items "stack". I tried multiplying them: 50% * 67% * 80% * 85% * 90% but it doesn't fit with Vengeance777's damage numbers after absorption.


Here is the output from the character planner. I didn't do the enhancement right because I don't have the last version with the savant prestige enhancements.
