That depends on the build and other strengths of the build. For example if you have low cold resist but are using a shield to block cold hits that mitigation makes up for the lower resist. If you have extremely high armor that also contributes to your resistances bolstering their mitigation.
If one element is annoying you can have an item that takes say 20% of void damage as fire, you can have 15% less fire damage taken on block etc. So now void resist isnāt nearly as important.
If you are taking any damage overtime but have 750 health regen. That could just completely override that damage or reduce a significant amount of it. So your damage overtime mitigation or resist in that situation isnāt as important.
Overall you want to build multiple layers of mitigation and sustain to eliminate any weaknesses. Of course max resist are more beneficial when you have other layers bolstering their effect like flat damage mitigation, armor, block, sustain, etcā¦(EHP - Effective Health Pool)
Apart from low levels of ward generated frequently (ie, in-between each hit, which is kinda how I think of active ward gen), are there any sources of flat DR in the game? I canāt think of any off the top of my head.
Not that Iām suggesting that such a peerless player who can regularly push any random collection of skills and passives up to 50k corruption with white gear might have made a mistakeā¦
If you mean flat as in -100 physical damage taken then no, I donāt think any such source exists in LE. I believe they are referring to generic damage mitigation in this case though which there are many like aspect of the boar, cornered beast, red rings, ravenous void, arcane shielding, etc.
my bad, been a long while since iāve relied on āin game guidesā. even last epoch tools has a copy of the game guide on the site but i m so used to googling āx game wikiaā and relying on wikis.
i really like how modern diablolikes tend to include all this info in game.
Watch out your sources !!
The lastepoch(dot)fandom wiki is coming high in the google searches but itās a really outdated (and sometimes very wrong)ā¦ āsource of informationā. I just checked and itās hilariously outdated. I donāt remember when LE had only 7 base types of One-Handed Axesā¦ but now itās 17. And there is no such thing as a āGeogalvanic Best Weaponā base type, whatever that is.
