Otherworldy - thoughts

Damage of this mob is sometime ridiculous. Got destroyed from pack of tity bitches in Lunaris 2@Merciless in a second although i was lvl83 in 65 zone wearing lvl18 AA. Tune it down or better remove it from game for good. Ty!

Currently around 200th place in 1MHC as a level 84 incinerator. I must say that otherworldly are by far my biggest threat. I also run AA... You feel like it should help you in this situation because it always helps vs titty bitches, but it only stops the phys/fire damage. Otherworldly adds a percentage of the mobs dmg as chaos dmg, which aa does nothing against.

That said, I have been doing alright against them. Getting the hp/chaos res cluster in Templar area helps a lot, as well as getting chaos res on a couple pieces of gear. However, the biggest help has been my ample amethyst flask. This gets me into positive chaos res, which helps so much.

Overall, I think otherworldly is a good addition to the game. Most people are content with running around with -60 chaos resist, so I'm glad they gave a reason for people to get some. Not to mention that a amethyst flask alone solves most of the problem, so it's not like your helpless. I played all of bloodlines, with a total of 4 deaths, and none of them were to otherworldly. There's definitely plenty of counter play to keep you alive.

Chaos res has a use? Omg!?

I'm not convinced.... I've been hit by otherworldly attacks a lot this league. They hurt, but not so much that I would change my build over it.

Maybe people in hardcore need that chaos res just in case devourers pop up with it, though?

Have not played bloodlines at all, but routinely run maps with the mod. I kinda like those mobs, they give some extra challenge (and usually drop a crapload of rares).

Trollish answer; but yeah... Lots of players; myself included, tends to ignore chaos res. And for all the other stats you kind of need to get, chaos res often ends up last priority. I'll sound of the crapstorm then:

How about making low amounts of chaos res master craftable? Is it even worth?

I'd probably not use it that often though....

You "routinely" waste 3ex on a mod that will cost 1/8 of that in another month?

I know they add chaos damage and their +add chaos is clearly overtuned. It's ok to have strong chaos damage boss like is Jungle Walley boss but on some pitfifull magic pack is too much. BL mods in general on my opinion is bad. Very bad game design.

As you might have guessed, he just mixed Beyond and Bloodlines.

On topic, I kinda agree and disagree.

With the way chaos resistance is right now (I actually like the scarcity of it, and how extra chaos res on gear pieces is always "oh, nice"), heavy and spiky chaos damage from unexpected sources is kinda lowblow to players.

Then again I like how it makes a random pack much more threatening and durable. Maybe they should prevent otherwordly from being spawned on devourers, leaping frogs etc. and prevent affixes such as "powerful crits" from being spawned on otherwordly mobs.

We don't run around with -60 chaos res by choice gear just sucks and maxing everything is hard when almost everything is junk (and getting maxed res + chaos is hard)
if you plan for it chaos resist capping is actually fairly easy, ive done it. also small trick for extra chaos rez, dump your alc's/chance on amethyst rings.
