How much does it cost to cap

How much money would it cost to cap on ice lightning and ice orb, lets say with and without the freezing stacks

@aeraxis: Yeah, as @star909 said, max insight is only 5%.
Max Insight: (5%) 57.5% damage ((15% ele resist ignore) x 1.4 (40% final damage increase)= 80.5% | 86.25% for 50% final damage
Nearly 20% loss at 40% final damage, and about 15% loss at 50% final damage.

@infinitums: insight gives 5% elemental ignore at lvl 100

It's a 23% damage nerf if you have 0 insight, and a 17% damage nerf if you have max insight. 17.5-10% damage loss if you're gaining 50% final damage instead of 40.

No Insight: (0%) 55% damage (10% ele resist ignore) x 1.4 (40% final damage increase) = 77% | 82.5% for 50% final damage
Max Insight: (10%) 60% damage ((20% ele resist ignore) x 1.4 (40% final damage increase)= 84% | 90% for 50% final damage

They made elemental resistance 10% because it's unfair to other classes that don't have a skill to remove elemental resist, making them lose 45-50% of their damage on endgame bosses.

@infinitums it is very significant nerf. Of course, we are all getting buffed sooner or later but
if you have max insight, nerf will not be as bad. I am kind of confused why nexon wants to make 100% elemental resistance to 10% O-o. It doesn't make sense at all.

@star909 yes it will be about a 12.5% damage decrease. I hope I am still capping after it...

@rainfall: it's gonna be 50% final damage (40% was for F/P)
@infinitums: Ive been told 12.5% damage decrease but I cant do the math for myself so

@rainfall
How significant is that debuff - I have trouble estimating it because it does give you a 40% damage boost. Would we hit like 60-70% our damage now with the buff?

@thebestcb elemental decrease/reset is going to be nerfed in couple of months from 100% ignore elemental resistance to 10% elemental resistance and 40% final damage. It is going to be MUCH harder to cap on fire poison mage and ice lightning mage.

And as an ice lightning, I was capping at 13k int 250% boss 102% magic atk and 92% pdr.

You probably need around 300b worth of funding to cap.

@wall
What was your PDR? And is that without infinity? and Buffed 14k int or clean?
(Thanks, I"m pretty close to those numbers, but I don't cap without infinity so I"m curious)
