noone talking about elemental flask changes

Ruby, Sapphire and Topaz flasks no longer grant added maximum resistances. Instead, they each reduce the damage taken of their respective elements by 20%.
this single line is going to make loreweave BiS for like 80% of the current builds ( hell it's already BiS for a lot of builds ) loreweave plus a flask for the selected element basically means you have 84% max resist and that's with like zero effort add a wise oak too and you're at 86% maxres for the selected element - if my calculations are good and they nerfed rise of the phoenix because it had too much max fire res :D also if i'm correct it's a nerf for rightous fire builds - if you already have high maximum elemental resistances than these flasks don't reduce the damage taken that much - diminishing returns (also asking experienced RF players, is this going to affect the build much or it's just a slight nerf? ( my first time planning a RF build for the new league) Last edited by Norbi1one4all#4503 on Dec 5, 2018, 11:13:46 AM Last bumped on Dec 5, 2018, 1:26:57 PM

I would rather have capped max resistances but well.
Indirect buff to the Loreweave no doubt. |

Pathfinder
- RF is not a viable build for pathfinder any more. RIP ... Juggernaut - with purity of fire (level 23), saffell's frame, and skill node (barbarism) the fixed max fire resit was 85 %. Usual Jugg RF build can temporarily increased this to 95% by using elemental flask (6%) and Divination distillate (4%, with MoM skill). This mechanism warranted higher net life regeneration and less elemental damage. Change of elemental flask and DD flask is equivalent to about +10 % -> +3 % max resistance. This can be problematic especially in the maps with penalty mode such as less regeneration or - X % max resistance. You may suffer from damages or even life degeneration especially in 60% less regen or -12 % max res maps which were overcome by using flasks in the past. Guardian - as I know, flask was not a critical mechanism of guardian RF. I'm not sure, +6 % -> +3~4% max resistance is critical or not. My guardian RF abandoned majority of penalty maps (less regen or - max res) before. |

" well just what i thought... i really want to see an explanation for flask changes |

" Absolutely. Loreweave becomes extremely strong particularly for (surprise surprise) pathfinder. Only downside of that chest is meh life. |
