Chaos Damage is a problem
|
New sources of chaos damage have been introduced over and over again for years now and the multiple Archnemesis mods that give enemies extra chaos dmg have finally reached a tipping point where most maps have something that will oneshot you chaos capped. So why the hell is Chaos Resistance some sort of super rare luxury stat that is 4 times more rare than other resists and comes in smaller numbers? Even in magical christmas land where everyone has items with perfect suffixes it's extremely hard to get chaos res above 0, let alone cap it.

Really? Perfect suffixes and you have a hard time getting to 0? Bud, I literally have chaos res on only 3 pieces of gear along with 12% chaos on my entire tree and I'm overcapped by a bit. My build has 4 uniques that cannot have chaos res even.

you only need positive chaos res, its rather easy to cap chaos res these days making chaos damage just tickle you.

It is just the unbalance of the game.
Every time someone said XXXX is too hard. Then someone replayed "no, it is easy. I can...bala...bala..." Maybe your build is easy, but did you ever try every build in this game? If you didn't, don't say something is easy. For example, the poor melee builds. You need suffixes to get attack speed, accuracy, crit chance/multiplier, elemental resist, mark on hit(the mana cost makes mark on hit support gem unusable, so you need a suffix on ring to roll mark on hit), intel or dex.... It is almost no room to roll chaos resist, or you'll just get pathetic DPS. |

" Yes you can easily do what the OP wants (perfect suffixes getting to 0 chaos res) on any build in the game. I didn't say my build is easy, I used mine as an example because I got it despite having a ton of spots that CANNOT roll chaos res due to needing uniques, which means my build should actually be HARD to achieve this. If you want 0 res or better and you have perfect suffixes, you only need TWO suffixes total (bameth is 31-35%, you only need 60, which doesn't even need two bameths) to achieve this. On top of this, if you use Amethyst rings and Fugitive boots, you wouldn't need any suffixes to get to 0. There's also a couple of wheels of chaos res that give a lot of it on the tree if you are near those. You cannot roll mark on hit for anything so I'm not sure what you are going on about there. You can only roll certain hexes if you want them and most builds only need 1 total suffix for this. If you cannot spare 2 suffixes for chaos res, GGG bumping up the numbers to match elemental res numbers isn't helping you because that would still require 2 suffixes (just less perfect ones). |

I thought 75% resistance was the bare minimum. Meaning if you don't have at LEAST 75% resistance to fire, cold, lightning, and chaos without a really good reason (strange build) you are essentially going into combat unarmored.
If you don't have at least 75% in all resistances, vendoring everything you are wearing and starting from scratch is not the worst thing you can do. |

If you aren't doing Uber bosses and Wave 30, you don't need 75 chaos. Slightly above 0 is more than enough.

" It's not easy as you think, ok? T1 is not easy definitely, especially T1 resist with other good affixes. We need AR or EV and life. T1 AR, T1 HP, T1 elem resists, T1 chaos resist, T1 attributes on all gears. That is IMPPOSIBLE, unless you have mirrors. Usually, we can only choose multiple T2 or T3 on an item. So we need at least 3 suffixes to reach 0 chaos resist. But it is almost impossible for melee bds, because we need additional suffix slots for accuracy and intel or dex... If you don't want your DPS to be too pathetic, you need reverse some slots for attack speed/crit chance/crit multiplier. |

Maybe you didn't read the OP's rant. He is specifically claiming that it is impossible to get even 0 chaos res with perfect suffixes. This is the specific claim I am refuting so stop moving the goal post.
No you do not need multiple mirrors. You do not need even close to 1 mirror. You saying that tells me you don't even know what mirror gear is because it's not for capping your res. My build is less than 50ex total and I have T1 on practically every stat on every piece of gear. I have overcapped all res including chaos despite multiple uniques. And this is despite me also wanting to cap elemental ailment avoidance on my gear while playing on the wrong side of the tree for that. And before you say it, no I don't need a meta build to do this either. Exactly 0.1% of poe ninja is playing my build. |
