Strange thing noticed in my Last game

[Stormbinder]

I've been playing as Vanheim vs Abyssia. All my best melee drotts and my pretender had fire jewel, that supposed to give you 100% protection against fire magic and fire auras.

However I've noticed in one long battle, than after my fire protected drott went over 100 fatique at the end due to normal melee fatique, he never recovered back. Instead, his fatique stayed in 100-150 range for the remainig of the battle (he was still attacked by few remeing devils and abysian HI).

Is this a bug or a feature? It looks like you are still protected from fire when you go over 100 fatique, but fatique protection due to fire damage and auras stop working. >;( If it is feature, frankly it doesn't make much sense to me: why should your fire protection would partly stop functioning (and only fatique-wise, they still couldn't damage him with fireballs and fireauras) once you are over 100?

If bevertheless it is a feature, does it work the same way with chilling auras and cold protection items?

I'm not sure what happened, but I do not think fire resistance disappears with fatigue 100+.

I havn't seen the battle so I can't come up with any suggestions. What were you fighting? What spells didi you cast?

Simply the fire protection given from Burning Pearl (100%) protected him from fire spells, but not from the heat aura of the Abysyan HI.

It's fine that FR protects from direct damage, but the heat that makes you swear and fatigue isn't damage and so it avoid to be resisted, or it's a bug?

(It's right Burning Pearl 100% FR? considered it gives +4Att, while the Fire Ring has only 100% FR ... and there's a small difference of const level)

Cohen is correct, he was (controlling Abissia and saw this battle as well).

My drott (he was a HOF quickened prophet under effect of W9 blessing) casted mistform and ironskin. After that he went into battle with "attack closest") and destroyed about 30-40 abysian HI and several devils by himself (he was fully equiped with best battlegear avaliable to me including earth gridle to somewhat help him with fatique, since I didn't have acsess to the lifedraining weapons at that moment).


When he went over 100 fatique much later at the end of the battle, only one or 2 devils remained together with few fire-radiating abyssian infantry, all still attacking him of course. The was also abysian warlok in the back, lobing fireballs at my drott time to time. None of that could hurt him even with his 100+ fatique (he had extremely high defense rating), but time to time his fatique would jump about 20 points, and in such manner in stayed at 100-150 levels for the next 10-15 turns, until absians routed.

That's all.
