    _orange line mean that line have very high value
    _yea, fire mini bosses seem like op, it is far more dangerous than other boss kind.56% is not very high, you should have more hp to tank their fire nova or have more damage to kill them before they kill you ( you can use blue ess to kill those fire boss if needed)

    Yamaac_chocobo is right about the Gold Lines, but I disagree with him on 56% resistance being low. I have 51% and do just fine. What you really need is more HP to survive the blasts. Resistance has diminishing returns, meaning that the more resistance you have, the less % resistance you get from adding more resistance. There comes a point (about 45%-50%) that the amount of resistance you need to add to gain more resistance isn't worth it as much as replacing those lines with HP. I could show you the math on effective HP, or you could take my word for it.

    Physical damage is filtered by armor.
    Fire damage is filtered 50% by armor and 50% by fire resistance.
    Poison, Lightning and Ice damage is only filtered by resistances.
    Your block rate would block any type of damage.

    cdeepal is right on the money.

    The reason you might have more trouble with the fire mini bosses is that their attack is higher damage with a burn as opposed to the lighting mini bosses' little spark. In PvP, the only high damage lightening attack is lighting strike, and if you are not exactly in the center of that attack, you don't take the full damage (and it drops off fast the further you get from the center). If a mage manages to freeze you and get a lightning strike with you dead center, it will hurt more than the fireballs, but since that almost never happens, the damage isn't that big.
