So... I found a huge flaw in the game.

You can wipe maps easily by changing your main attack. Let me explain... Say you choose arc, now enter map. Now pay attention to monster attribute they are now ele resist or lightning resist. Now change to melee or to another element of attack. Easy wipe... Don't believe me try it.


In a sense almost like snapshotting...


Edit: there are ways to also manipulate the map, for example you can purposely tone down your fire resistance, you will notice monster variety use fire attacks. Now equip your fire res items, Phoenix shield, you're a tank now.

yeah, I've been abusing this for a couple months, thanks a lot for making a thread :(

It seems that the magical attributes of magic/rare monsters takes your main skill into account when it spawns the map...

similar thing happens when rolling maps if you pay attention. I now remove gear when rolling maps

Note to self: Invest in tin-foil.
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but what is a "main skill"? I have 3 skills/spells bound to my left, right and center mouse and auras/curses to my QWERTY keys. When you say "Main Skill" do you mean the skill/spell that's bound to the left mouse click?

if this were true then why don't I see more physical resist mobs?

Because when you're melee it takes into account your resistances. So don't open the map as melee but rather as caster. Trust me it works...

I'm not crazy, perhaps GGG can shed some light on this? I was just bored out if my mind one day trying out skills, than bam... Who knew.
