Game Guide - Resistances Section

[AndrewTilley]

The Resistances section of the Game Guide has a paragraph that reads;

A stack of Shock reduces your lightning resistance by 5%, so if you had 75% lightning resistance it would be reduced to 70%.

If you had 80% lightning resistance, your final lightning resistance would still be 75%.

The 5% should be replaced with 2% and the other values adjusted accordingly.

Also, outside of this rather small detail about resistance shred there isn’t any other mention (that I could find) in the Game Guide. Trasochi’s explanation of shred (or something similar) would likely make a great addition to the Game Guide;

Shred

Protection shred ailments, such as fire protection shred, have been changed to resistance shred ailments, such as fire resistance shred. These ailments reduce resistance by 5% against most enemies (2% against bosses and players) and can stack up to 20 times. Resistance shred applies before the resistance cap as it’s just reducing the respective resistance stat.

Armor shred has also remained and still reduces armor by 100 as before.

Magic and rare enemies can have a suffix that causes them to apply resistance shred on hit. This is generally an intuitive resistance shred type. For example ice elementals can have a suffix that gives them cold resistance shred. This means that resistance you end up with above the cap isn’t useless when fighting an enemy which can apply a resistance shred. It is not intended to be so important that you intentionally aim for overcapped resistance.

Some additional points to include in the description of shred;

• Armour shred stacks do not have a cap (unlike resistance shred) and can shred armour into the negatives
• Resistance or Armour shred effectiveness increases the effect of each stack of shred. And then include a short example for one or both, such as; Normally 1 stack of armour shred reduces armour by 100. Having 50% increased armour shred effectiveness would increase each stack of armour shred to 150.
• Each stack of shred, be it armour or resistance shred, lasts 4 seconds
