Am i the only one finding that " Uncapped" resistances is used wrongly by GGG?
|
Can I just say this? IMO, it doesn't matter whether GGG's use of the term is technically correct (which it clearly is). It's ambiguous, very easy to misinterpret, and has caused a massive amount of confusion. Therefore shouldn't they rephrase these mods anyway, technically correct or not?

" That's a fair point. What would you replace it with? "Resistances Ignoring Maximums" would be pretty precise and clear, but it's pretty long. "Resistances Ignoring Caps" might work, but then there's confusion about "what caps? There's multiple?" "Resistances Ignoring your Cap" might work, but then it has the opposite problem, that "I have a hard cap? I thought I could raise maximums..." "Total Resistances" actually would be pretty ambiguous too, because I and probably others on the forum use it to refer to before-difficulty-penalty resistance (i.e. you need 135% total resistance to be capped in merc, and 169% against EleWeak Maps). "Parentheses Resistances" would be fairly clear, but also pretty tacky. Just for fun, the absolute easiest to understand would probably "Resistances both Under Over Cap" ----- Actually, going over the first few ideas that popped into this post, "Resistances Before Cap(s)" might work. That implies more of a calculation step. Although, for some reason, a lot of PoE players miss the implication that "before" = "immediately before" such as with Mind over Matter and ES, so maybe you would run into the same issue I had with "Total Resistances" above. It's probably the best solution I can come up with for now though. Need game info? Check out the Wiki at: https://www.poewiki.net/

What about just replaced "uncapped" with "pre-cap" or something like that?

" You believe correctly. :P ---------- Ten bucks says people will assume it only counts Resistances 'before the cap is reached' (meaning, 75% assuming no +Maxres modifiers), as opposed to 'before a cap is applied'. |
