Bug with Doryani's Prototype
|
Hey,
i just want to make clear, its a bug. According to POE Wiki, "Armour - Reduces the lightning damage taken from hits, but not lightning damage over time." I scaled my Armour damn high to 1.7kk with map setup and 2kk+ with boss flask. Fire 90% Cold 90% Lightning -162% Caos immune Its ridiculous. Super low monster can kill you within a pice of a sec. This new mod blue circle does Lightning dmg over Time. Shaper Beam lightning dmg kills me within 0,2s. The Vinktar Square Boss Lightning Beam 0,2s dead. Some other wired Monster doing ridiculous strikes against a Doryanis wearing exile. What can i say, if i die within 0,2s vs a monster in a lvl 75map with this defence. There is something wrong in the calculations. I can handle everything in the game, exept is does wired lightning dmg including abilities. Feels defenetly wrong playing like this. 2.200.000 Armour not enouth to surwive weak lightning abilities. |

" Armour does not mitigate dots. It would also not help against a physical dot like bleed. Thats not a bug its just simply how armour works. Getting one shot from lighting dots is the BIG FREAKING DOWNSIDE of a doryani's prototype build and the main reason why its not played by many. "Lightning Resistance does not affect Lightning Damage taken" This is the relevant sentence on the item. It says lightning damage TAKEN, that means hits not dots. Your lightning resist is still used to calculate how much lightning damage over time you take. You have -162% lightning resist, what do you expect happens when you take lighting damage over time in this scenario?!??! Elemental damage is balanced against 75% resist and you have MINUS 162...

The concept with prototype is that you make nearby enemies have 0 lightning resistance at the cost of your only mitigation against lightning being based on your armor.
Now, armor works better against lots of small hits and loses effectiveness dramatically against big hits. Eradicator has been the most dangerous of the elder guardians as far back since i started playing in abyss. The wiki suggests converting lightning damage taken into other elements that you have 75%+ res for to compensate. Sure you can stack armor, but given its limitations you're going to run into problems like eradicator or minotaur and even more so given the added archnem mods. Ultimately, I don't think its really worth it given how dominant omniscience has been with resistances both defensively and offensively, though you give up flat attributes at the benefit of improving all elemental not just lightning. Yep, totally over league play.
