Entropic Resistance an Alternate to Elemental Resistance

[AndrewTilley]

This sounds very similar to returning to Set Affixes, specifically set resistances, that used to be in the game.

Patch 0.7.10 removed all set affixes in the game except set resistances – which bundled all resistances into three affixes: Set Elemental, Set Physical & Void, and Set Necrotic & Poison. These were then removed in patch 0.8.1 with this as the explanation as to why;

Set Affixes

Set affixes are an interesting mechanic, which we may bring back in future. However, the current implementation only works well for a narrow range of stats, and set resistance affixes lack flavour while feeling necessary rather than build specific. This means that instead of the set bonuses being interesting options they’re just a mechanic that adds complexity without depth and worsens the issue of resistances having increasing returns, flying in the face of our goal to mitigate this issue with the classic resistance system.

While your suggestion is not exactly the same, I’m not sure it differs so much that it avoids the same pitfalls that set resistances brought to gearing.
