OVERTUNED Abyssal Tempest+artic breath= 1shot 4.6k hp -30chaos

4600 hp at lvl 64
capped res
and -30 chaos res one shot by an arctic breath converted to 100% chaos

Didn't even have a chance to see it coming... Just opened the door in upper scepter and died to ONE arctic breath


I completely agree that one shots should definitely be allowed in a game which allows for instant log outs, but this abyssal tempest makes it so that any monster can potentially one shot you WITHOUT A TELEGRAPH. Plus if it is a place like the scepter of god (dark rooms and doors). Then you really have no chance to see what monsters have what buffs, let alone even being able to tell if they are in the room you are about to enter in the first place.


When you're leveling and progressing through the difficulties its hard enough to get capped res let alone having to worry about that extent of chaos damage

Wheres the balance?

Please bump to let GGG see this or write your own experience with this unfair/overtuned mod

Extremely similar situation happened to myself. GGG, what the fuck are were guys thinking when you made this tempest? Upper Scepter instantly kills people when you open a door.

The resistance system in PoE says Hiy.

you just took a hit with what must be around a 250% more multiplier attached to it.

Skip or cap.

Dude you're dumb. Even if he gets 0 resist the arctic breathe is hitting him as though he has 0 cold resist. It's way over a 250 multiplier it's more of a 400 or 500 multiplier. Elemental damage is based off of 75 capped resist chaos is balanced around reaching 0 or positive.

This tempest is 100% dumb and shouldn't even be in the game.

Which is why i said "what must be around" since i don't know the exact value's.

And i proposed the easiest solution to this current situation = skip or cap.

thanks for the personal insult i suppose, really drives your point home, while completely failing to comprehend mine.

if you have -30 chaos resists

the tempest would hit you as if you had -30 cold resists, duh

if you have chaos res below 70%, you gonna have a bad time

So the solution is to wait an hour to progress or lose a map and currency. Ok. At -30 resist he's taking roughly 5x the damage which is simply indefensible. Even if he hit 0 he's still taking double damage. The fact that this hasn't been hot fixed is kind of ridiculous to be honest.

The tempest has no business converting 100%. Elemental dmg is balanced around capped resists, this tempest just throws that out of the water. And no one has 70% chaos resist right now. That gear doesn't start showing up until later.

I think the exact value of the multiplier from 75% to -30% is 402% more (in poes terms) or 5.2x

ie if AB deals 10000 cold damage, you would receive

(1)without tempest = 2500 cold damage
(2)with tempest and -30 chaos res = 13000 chaos damage

I never said it was an ideal solution, but you have to play with the cards given.

If the alternative is losing your character, then losing a map and some currency seems like an easy choice to me?

Don't mistake this as me saying it is "fine" as is. I am simply pointing out the most logical course of action in the current game state.

edit : @grepman that's a whole lot of deeps. Hybrid builds with top chaos resist must be balling that tempest :D
