Path of Exile 1 Gameplay Help and Discussion - The secret of being Tanky in POE for beginners - Forum

Very easy to run around with near-permanent immortal call by grabbing 1 or 2 extra endurance charges and using IC+ID. Easy way to see this is to observe armor users doing the three bosses for Atziri run - nearly all are using immortal call because their armor gives poor mitigation against those high physical attacks. Indeed. Immortal Call is idiotic anyway, it should have ~50% physical reduction, not a 100%. Since it's 100%, the content will be based on it. Same as the maximum resistances, 75% belongs to the past. The damage is based on having overcapped resists. The resistances system is also poor. Sadly, the changes to those systems is not going to happen anytime soon (Vaal IC implementation), if there will ever be any.	Posted by tinko92#6447 on May 17, 2014, 11:14:17 AM Quote this Post

GGG needs to introduce resistance penetration ASAP into the game, I am pretty sure Atziri is not using resistance penetration which is why it is becomes laughable content for characters with 100% fire resistance. So anyone reading this thread, forget about evasion and armor, true defense in this game is: - Immortal Call - near 100% max resistances with constant uptime with auras + flasks + node buffs - Dodge - Block These 4 are 100% scalable throughout the game - doesn't matter if it is a level 7 ledge or Uber Atziri.

Listing the weakest defence (evasion) as the strongest = rofl. Keep PoE2 Difficult. Last edited by Fluffy_Puppies#3904 on May 22, 2014, 10:59:05 AM	Posted by Fluffy_Puppies#3904 on May 18, 2014, 1:36:19 AM Quote this Post
