It would be nice that the stat sheet for my characters would update to the corresponding buff/aura/stance/ability. For example Rebuke (Sentinal) “Brave the Elements” doesn’t update the character sheet for increased elemental defence. It works like I take less damage but that’s the only way I know it works. Idc for flashy buff icons or w/e. Just make it update the character sheet.

Mike is working on an updated character screen which will hopefully have all the numbers we may want (and I’m an accountant, I want all the numbers).
Rebuke’s Brave the Elements node doesn’t update the character screen because there’s no “less elemental damage taken” line and it’s not resist so they can’t just dump it there.
True but they can update Fire lightning and ice resistance because that is all elemental damage in the game atm I mean it works for “Holy Aura Active” I suppose it’s just 1 of the things that were overlooked probs.
Yes, but Holy Aura provides elemental resist not elemental damage reduction. And all “elemental” is is a shorthand for fire/cold/lightning, they could change it to fire/cold/lightning resist instead & it’d function the same.
Less damage taken from XXX is functionally different & crops up in the damage calculation in a different place to resists. It’s not that it was overlooked (though it could have been in terms of not having a line on the character screen), it’s just different.

Ahhh it’s very weird how they word it, and maybe having it a bonus res would be better than flat out damage reduction in terms of “this makes sense in a build” type of thing.
No, if it were just bonus res then it wouldn’t be of any use to the player since you’re likely going to be res capped at endgame & going above the resist cap would not help reduce the damage you take.
If they could code it as an increase to the max resists, that would be a different cup of tea.
