Remove the chaos res penalty.

Dear Devs,

I find it almost repulsive that I have to craft my own equips to adequately enjoy the game. Give me complete immunity to all sources of damage as compensation since it's obvious I can't fend for myself.

Sincerely,
More fucking baddies.

Please let me know where I can craft chaos resist gear

I would seriously like to know

More on topic, GGG has stated many times that they are not happy with the current state (and previous states) of chaos, so chaos in general is likely to be changed in the future, one way or another

Let me put it to you this way, is there a vendor recipe that specifically gives you chaos gear?

No

Yes you can craft any gear with orbs, but you are crafting random gear, not gear that you specifically need (in this case chaos res)

For example, if you need to get Ice res ring, you can craft that with an iron ring + blue gem

I suggested amethyst rings pages ago. Probably won't be a recipe for it though.

Other than adding the ring... don't really see a problem.

As I said earlier, Chaos in general is weird. I am with Chris (from GGG) on this one, I am not currently happy with how Chaos is currently working in general

The thing with the rings is that when you usually use that recipe for them, you're pretty low level and some +60% Cold resi is enough for Merveil Normal, for example.

Chaos however, becomes an issue later in the game, probably in Cruel A2-A3 or so, when you already need some +80% to make it to the same 60% levels.

Then, we have Merciless, where Chaos hits even harder.

Given these facts, this is the issue I see with the recipe for chaos resi rings (if implemented like the other ring recipes), they would be useful only early in the game (but why bother then...), but mostly useless when Chaos actually becomes a real issue, in Merciless and in maps.

PoE Snake Packs = D3 Mortar Packs = cheeseball insta-kill

Want to make chaos a genuine challenge? Make it work as a DoT like in Diablo II, but instead of Chaos Resistance nodes, give us Chaos Duration Reduction mods and flasks.

Because they let players to easily cap all other resists, they use chaos to band-aid as the one true "element" instead of properly balancing resistance and forcing players to choose between what s/he is strongly resistant again. If they remove chaos penalty now, large portions of the game which relies on players unable to resist a damn would need to be redesigned again. Quite a big job, definitely not something a small team would prioritize. Better work on new things, like useless skills!!
