I tried to take on Ignagduk today. I'm playing a caster and I'm currently a bit overleveled for the area. Still this boss manages to almost one shot me with most of it's skills.

I checked my resistances and figured out that my fire res was at -20%. No idea why. I checked all my equip, my gems, my skill tree. No explanation. Then I searched the forum just to find out you lose resistance every time you complete an act. I don't think this info is given to you anywhere in the game.

Then i reworked my equip to put fire res runes into it, just to find out - completely by chance - that apparently there's a ritual somewhere on the map where the boss is found that increases your fire res. Again - I don't think you get a hint for that anywhere in the game.

I found it, activated the buff and tried to figure out the way to the boss again. I died halfway and it reset me to the checkpoint at the ritual site and spawned me in a group of elite monsters which instantly killed me. I struggled out of this spot but apparently you have to complete this whole little sub arena again because you lose the buff every time you die.

So I made my way to the boss again, died again and lost the buff again. Now my checkpoint is set at the boss arena and I literally have to backtrack across half the map every time I die to it, just to refresh the buff.

I still love the game but some of the game design choices are just wild to put it mildly. I would really appreciate it if the buff just stayed active after you did the ritual. I don't see how the current set-up enriches the game experience in any way. Also some more hints regarding the stat changes would be useful.
