Q u o t e:
In this situation,
removing 10 magic resistance vs a 100 magic resistance character will provide a damage increase of 3%

removing 10 magic resistance vs a 10 magic resistance character will provide a damage increase of 10%



Hence why a percent reduction is better than a flat one. Let's say a 50 % reduction yields 5 magic resistance reduction in the first case and 50 resistance in the second. This yields a more equal damage increase to higher geared players as to lower geared. Which is the point.
