Chaos damage and why it hurts the game in it's current form.
" I'm well aware of those videos. You do realize that they were almost all pre-open beta and are no longer relevant since much has changed since then including monster damage and the skill tree? Not to mention I'm sure almost all of them wouldn't be viable end-game builds in high level maps, especially not solo. Last edited by jimi89#5576 on Feb 18, 2013, 10:59:28 AM

"Almost every Build of the Week video was made back in Closed Beta, back when there was no Act 3 and there were many balance changes that have happened since then, ESPECIALLY the Open Beta changes. They would not be the best reference for collecting information about the game. |

" The point is: That magical tree of nodes is a systematical genius. Your brain isn't a genius. The more intelligent you are, the more accessible that tree becomes. Very little people are intelligent. So expect a lot of naysayers. Since you are one, I don't think you're intelligent. If you are, then you're ignorant. It's one or the other. You're not intelligent, or you're intelligent, but ignorant. Pick one. Because the select few that turns this tree into impressive builds are always going to trump your premature naysaying jargon. You will never see a man faking anger, passion and relentless behavior. You will always see a man faking love, politeness and respectful behavior.

" Throw out some more meaningless sentences. You haven't made a single valid point yet. No amount of "intelligence" can overcome the constraints that game mechanics put you in, at least not in a way that's fun to play in this case. By the way, you aren't at all good at 'dealing with people'. If you were you wouldn't come off as a condescending douche in every post. |

" Ahh, but my clueless friend, you have no idea how backwards society and humanity is. I'm not the condescending one here. It's the people who think they can complain and only agree with their close-minded viewpoints, whilst a small number of people out there live as the very contradictions. Then when one of those people from the small group meet up with a person they contradict, the contradicted person raises a red flag and acts in the same way as you did. ''OMG. YOU ARE DISPROVING ME. I MUST MAKE UP NEGATIVE IMPRESSIONS TO SAVE MY PETTY PRIDE!''. I am very familiar with the human race. Nothing you say bothers me, which is why I'm not condescending. I'm brutally honest. I'm passionate. I'm just as human as you, but like everything in this world, some things are stronger than others. In this case, I have more information and knowledge about what is and what isn't in this game. You don't. You're young, naive and vastly precarious about the deeply rooted complexities of a game where you clearly don't have even the surface figured out. I would agree with you if there weren't people doing exactly the opposite you complain about. However, there are. So you're a minor case of mental flatulence to me. You will never see a man faking anger, passion and relentless behavior. You will always see a man faking love, politeness and respectful behavior.

" What a load of bollocks. Still as a diligent student of the game you will realise what it is and what it is not for yourself before too long. Fortunate as this 'argument' is so full of logical fallacy and muddled thinking that you won't get there by deduction. |

please ignore the troll bot...
Anyway, as a lot of people have said yes stacking chaos resist is a good way to mitigate the damage, however even with 75% chaos resist you still need a large life pool mostly due to chaos damage as not one single other defensive mechanic effects most sources of chaos damage. At least with elemental damage from spells/attacks you can dodge/block/evade it as well as build Energy shield to tank it. But chaos damage from things like poison arrow or chaos bombs just skip all this and damage you. Try run a map with alchemists or poison arrow archers and you will see what I mean. 2k life with 50% chaos resist you will be dead in under 2 seconds, even if you have huge life leech or massive amounts of Energy shield. When they patched open beta and adjusted chaos damage, they over adjusted it. The whole thing needs a rework. |

Many people forget that one of the best "defenses" in the game is movement speed. Most chaos damage is easily avoidable.
And let's not forget people, we are in the facking beta of this game. |
