Immortal Flesh Builds

Use it on a ci character with the "25% of elemental damage is taken on chaos resistance" armor.(forgot its name atm)

In that case it actually makes the modifier of that chest stronger, since your taking more elemental damage the % converted to chaos increases and the efficiency goes up.

And it gives some cool regen and flat mana regen, might be possible to make a ci char with AA and that could be pretty strong.

It would be a weird build to say the least.

Whoa, I really like this idea. What about an Incinerate build with CI, Incandescent Heart, Ghost Reaver + Zealot's Oath, AA, maybe Rathpith since it has a nice ES value... I've never done CI before, but I feel like that's not enough protection from physical. I have a respec on a Witch or Scion, so maybe I can give it a try.

Uhm the entire design of immortal flesh is to defend of physical hits o.O

Run clarity + AA coupled with the base mana regen of immortal you should be able to run a respectable level AA on a ci char. (which is otherwise really difficult to do)

Since you take less physical damage overall it might be possible to just survive on "stun recovery" but elemental shit might stunlock you. However if done right it could free up an amulet slot, which is really cool.

Be advised, this might be shit. Just thinking out-loud here.

Its clearly for an Artic armour build.

mana regen, and that flat physical mitigation.

Id suggest using it with an Artic armour + mind over matter build that runs purity of lightning and purity of ice situationaly.

Yeah, but mitigating physical attacks with "only" fast regen plus -x physical damage taken from attacks plus a small block chance makes me a little uncomfortable. I think it will be fine, except maybe for big hits.

Certainly.

I'm trying out Incandescent Heart + Aegis Aurora over Cloak/MoM. I'm only at level 70 and the regen feels ok with Immortal Flesh. Without Discipline and with crappy gear (like, 2500 total ES crappy) I have over 150 ES regen/sec. I might use Vitality eventually. I'm not sure how the damage is going to be since I just started leveling Incinerate and don't have decent links yet.

wut?
Let's assume that you have 75% ele res, CI and wear Incandescent Heart.

without belt:
-monster deal 1000 ele damage
-resistance make that 250 ele damage
-then 25% of it is converted to chaos and negated by CI
-so the result damage to you is 250*0.75=187.5

with belt (you have 70 ele res now):
-monster deal 1000 ele damage
-resistance make that 300 ele damage
-then 25% of it is converted to chaos and negated by CI
-so the result damage to you is 300*0.75=210


So I ask again: wut?

See how much "max" res IH gives in each example

to be fair, -40% res is a very binary thing
with crappy gear, it IS a huge downside

with very good gear and in endgame, it is no downside at all. overcapping resists is usually somewhat trivial in the endgame. at worst if you have a super unique-heavy build you'll run a purity. eh so what ?

I dont mind the -max resist penalty, but it has to be realistic. -10 is a joke. so is -5.

We speak for -120 total elemental resistances for an effect that its not so strong or OP. And game should not be balanced around top tier items. The -5max is still one of the most harsh downsides in a unique in PoE

You have to ask yourself, at what point would anyone be willing to trade in 5% maxres in PoE.

I would never do so. Any build with IF would be better without it. 5% maxres is just huge.

I have run RF using Immortal Flesh before and stayed in positive regen.

To reduce max life i used :


ran the lvl 20 purity of fire in this item to negate -res

at which point the regen from was enough to sustain.

i could have gotten 95% reduce life but didn't have another Ming heart available.

What OP quoted is viable, a saffel's frame should be enough to make up for everything.

Aegis Aurora + Arctic Armour + Purity of Lightning nearly puts you even as well.
