Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - Armour should mitigate elemental damage. - Forum

Agree with OP. I once played a 90% phys reduction Juggernaut but got wrecked by extra cold/fire/lightning damage mods playing t15s even though my res was capped and i was at 6k life. Felt pretty cheap.

@Saltychipmunk: some interesting points about the keystones; I rather like the idea. For balancing, the armour/life one it could be the opposite of CI in that you can't obtain chaos resistance or immunity.

it could work. even as is -60% chaos resist is technically tankable if extremely risky then again some sources of chaos are very rippy

i would suggest an alternative.

%reductions to physical damage now apply to all non-chaos damage
- chaos resistance from all sources is 50% less efficient

this would introduce an interesting dilemma as it will no longer be a simple question of having one chaos resist stat and or an atiziri flask to make you chaos safe

heck we could just add a tag .. you have no energy sheild

Well I would consider a %reductions to physical damage now apply to all non-chaos damage at half efficiency placed between marauder and duelist areas, and tagged with both you have no energy shield and chaos resistance from all sources is 50% less efficient...

It would actually greatly improve life builds, that don't rely on ES also...

PSS: Our almighty TencentGGG overlords are very scrupulous regarding criticizing their abilities to take proper decisions and consider everything "needlessly harsh and condescending"...

Good to know "free speech" doesn't apply in any form or manner on the forums these days...
