Question about Aggressive Resistance

I'm thinking of switching to Marksman but I wanted to know more about Aggressive Resistance. How useful is it with surviving? Does it make surviving on MM significantly easier than surviving on a BM while bossing? Could someone explain to me what it does in a bossing scenario, how it works.

@xMyAran: BMs have better avoid and Blood arrow; so no not really.

not necessarily, BMs are more squishy, but blood arrow does wonders, you should look up for other threads, there was one about which archer is tankier.

There are not a lot of new age bosses where Aggressive Resistance is useful. Its a training skill.

I believe as long as you attack once within 8 seconds you will have 80% or so damage reduction, assuming the boss does not have an hp% type attack
