Not gonna happen.
could work like when it gives -12 % to all resistances and like +18% to chaos resistance... a serious drawback should be added.

Maybe thers a chance to flickerstrike when you get hit... this could be some funny drawback aswell ^^'

That side effect sounds more like a Herald, or the new counter strike gems (Riposte, etc.) But also, does flicker strike really make sense for all characters?

Interesting idea, just not sure how it would be nurtured or directed into something that makes sense.


But on chaos resist aura... it's intentional that chaos resist isn't easy to get. It could perhaps exist if the values are low and/or as others say it has another trade off.
This is thread #1384213847.

There shouldn't be a Purity of Chaos. Sanity and insanity don't mix. Order and chaos do not mix. Antidotes and poison don't mix.

Mostly just sounds like you're speaking against the name/theme? Just Curious.

Chaos is supposed to be a luxury, rare, uncommon, hard to get, and difficult to work around in most cases. Chaos also isn't something you can just pick up defensively.

Look at the idea of blood magic (in general gaming). It doesn't offer much in way of defense, unlike most magic, but makes up for it in damage output.

As stated numerous times by both GGG and other players, "Chaos" most closely represents poison in this game. Chaotic damage that is weak but is strong due to lower abundance of resistance. If anything there should be a Herald of Chaos, not a Purity of Chaos. All of this I stated in each of the previous threads calling for a purity version.

Oh, I'm in full agreement, just checking if you were really concerned about the name, or the not gonna happen feature because chaos is indeed supposed to be rare.

Not that it absolutely can't happen. But if it did, it would have to be small. Because chaos resist is supposed to be rare. And generally gems are common. Like if it existed, some meager 15% chaos resist for 40% mana resvation (or less res) would be needed (very limited). And even then, you'd probably also want to make it more rare like a portal gem or etc. Point - this thing really shouldn't exist, and even if it did, it should be rare.
Sorry if i offended someone by this post.
But, not possible for me to read all threads in the 825 pages.

Well yes they could add drawbacks to it.

But the thing is that it wouldn't be worth the cost. If it reserves even 25% for, say, 20% chaos resistance it isn't worth it. After all possible increases, you'd get 38% chaos resistance from it.

Most content doesn't do chaos damage nor have chaos damage present. It would be more situational than Cast on Death.

Now if there was a Herald of Chaos that instead caused all of your damage to apply a poison, then it would be sought by a good number of players.
