PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU!

Introduction + Stat pages
The Resistor is a Magicka Warden damage dealer that was designed to specialise in high defense whilst still putting out a good amount of damage. With such high armour it simple outlasts other damage dealers and thus is great in Cyrodiil or objective-based game modes in Battlegrounds. If you want a damage dealer that is hard to take down then look no further!
