Slaying Lancer.

So im a bit bored with RKEMing normally and its time i start Slaying it on my lancer, but here's comes few questions:
1. i opt for about 99% damage reduction, my question is does Bravery damage reduction add to overall reduction as in X*damage + 10%*damage or X+10%*damage? to make it clearer, say i get about 89% damage reduction from gear and crystals. will bravery make it 99% or will it reducde the damage i take AFTER it's been reduced by those 89%? because that's quite a big difference in matters of damage taken.

2. Aman 10% PVE damage reduction passive has been patched to be PVP reduction now. can i stack 4* Dyad resolutes for their 42% reduction total or does only 1 count at a time? i've only seen people suggest using 1 Resolute with 3 Hardies and i dont understand if that's due to reduction cap or the crystals being unable to be stacked with eachother.

Thanks mah' peeps.

1) Bravery just multiplies final damage taken by 0.9, as in you take 10% less damage, it does NOT stack with gearstats additive.

2) Aman still works, description is wrong and got mixed up with human now. Description say: Aman; PvP Human; PvE
but working is: Aman; PvE and Human; PvP
Aman passive DOES work like you would want the bravery to, it adds 10% damage reduction stacking with the gearstats additive.
usually the strong crystals only work once, however its still doable, but you will likely need weapon crystals with perfect secondary stats (2.5% dmg reduction under 50%, so 10% in total wenn you have all 4)

there is no reduction cap, other than the 100% ofc which is still reachable.
It requires a boss in enrage ofc.

if you want the answer, click here on this setup, if you wanna find out yourself how to reach 99.8% dont click here

Aman passive works fine. I reported the tooltip bug but no answer from Gameforge

Racial skills tool tip bug

last question. i asked it but havent really understood the answer. can i use 4 dyad resolute niveots on my chest and enjoy the 42% dmg reduction or do i have to use 1 resolute + 3 hardies? cuz if if i end up using 4 dyad resolutes i'll actually be able to get 99.6% dmg reduction under 50% without racing to aman. awaiting an answer.

I think you're missing the point of slaying - it's supposed to make your runs more challenging, not to lower their difficulty by increasing your damage for no risk to you. Unless that's what you're after - same rewards for less effort. This surely won't help shake off the feeling of boredom.

When it comes to slaying on lancer, the goal is to reach as high as possible with damage reduction as you can as long as its below 100%. however its not risk-free. while the boss is unenraged, the reduction is reduced to roughly 73.5%(with my current setup) or 83.5% as an aman would have gotten with his 10% passive. its still risky, and currently with 93.5% damage reduction on enrage i still get hit for roughly 10-18k hits. it doesnt make it easy, it makes it more reasonable as to not get 1 shot by everything while you tank, assuming you wish to push your dps as high as you can and for that you need to facetank a little.

Quote from Noyn

You should not go for too much dmg reduction because you dont "block" damage anymore, meaning no more shield counter.

I'm aware of that, thank you Noyn with my current setup (while being high elf male) i can max out only at 93.5% reduction. not as high as i wanted but it still works well in rkem atm. with some practice i should get those 1.5m/s hopefully.
