That's not really a relevant to what we are talking about. This discussion is about resistances so the obvious context I is that you have already been hit.

Whether or not you can dodge has no bearing on the effectiveness of resists when you do get hit.


Sure, but I'd argue that most of the hits that resists aren't effective against are hits you're *supposed* to dodge or die to.

You can also argue the same for armor. Some hits in the game are meant to hurt regardless of your defenses. I think we already know that this isn't your usual tank-and-spank type ARPG. GMP mobs and ones that explode on death can probably kill you.

full resistance and dead in a sec, that's only fristrating


Actually 1/2 of the mobs in there do chaos dmg, the melee undead guys

If you put on your full plate mail, and I throw hundreds of toothpicks at you, you'll basically not feel it.

If someone catapults a whole tree at you, don't expect the Armour to prevent as much of the damage.

Read the rest of the thread before just chiming in from the peanut gallery? That's what we're discussing and speculation/arguments have been put forth on both sides of that question. Just by re-asking the same question that was asked a half dozen times at the start of the thread contributes nothing but noise.

Very nice contribution to the thread.
Dodging projectiles in this game is really not an argument at all with the camera zoomed in so far ranged mobs see you before you see them 50% of the time and if you are unlucky a whole group sees you from off screen.

You never got to the Ledge?

But thats the only enemy I can think of right now that attacks you from off-screen

I've hit cruel, so I must have done the ledge. Oh wait, the uber-totem. You mean that stupid totem god thing? Yeah, that is one that starts producing sparks when I'm off screen, but that's about the only thing I can think of.
