I know, I just love toying with this idea. but I'm playing with numbers and a certain build.
Bst/Run
Vickie/Kiyomaru for a pet
preferred target: lizards :D
So with just traits, merits, and killer instinct, any bst can have killer effect 30. On NM's I would expect this intimidation rate to be reduced to 10 from 30. IIRC
ItemSet 374243
This build has 50% damage reduction.
With Zealous Snort active:
+66 Magic Defense bonus
Counter Rate: 72% (accuracy adjustment drops it probably to 71%)
Guard +25 as bizarre as that is...
+627 Magic Evasion
Block rate will be at least 20% and should reduce damage by about 90% if I got the shield formulas right.
which means at worst only 16% of attacks should make it thru un-resisted...
