==Damage Resistance== Damage Resistance negates the amount of damage from all sources. This concept is explained during a [[Loading screen#Combat|loading screen]] with a single example of 100 Damage Resistance reducing damage by half but the detailed formula is not revealed in-game. However, the Damage Resistance formula<ref>https://twitter.com/Jason_Eldred/status/846063385150193664</ref> was revealed by [[BioWare]] to be the following: FinalDmg = BaseDmg / (1 + DamageResist/100) *FinalDmg = The final damage received *BaseDmg = The incoming damage before taking Damage Resistance into account *DamageResist = The combined Damage Resistance from [[Armor]], [[Augmentation]]s, [[Consumable]]s, [[Profile]]s, [[Skill]]s, and [[Weapon]]s Using the Damage Resistance formula with 50 Damage Resistance and 100 incoming damage, the final damage can be computed as 100 / (1 + 50/100) = 66.7. One third of the incoming damage (33.3) will be negated by Damage Resistance. The higher Damage Resistance is, the less the increase in benefit becomes. Increasing Damage Resistance from 100 to 200 only decreases incoming damage by an additional 16%. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center;" width="30%" |- ! Damage<br>Resistance !! Incoming<br>Damage || Final<br>Damage || % Damage<br>Reduction |- | 25 || 100 || 80 || 20% |- | 50 || 100 || 66.7 || 33.3% |- | 100 || 100 || 50 || 50% |- | 150 || 100 || 40 || 60% |- | 200 || 100 || 33.3 || 66.7% |- |} All Damage Resistance is good, but higher amounts lead to diminishing returns. There may be better choices (armor, skills, etc.) that have more benefits than choosing to increase already high levels of Damage Resistance.
