Please review Chaos resistance availability

Over the year's more and more sources of enemies dealing chaos damage has been added to the game. Now with Archnemesis mods you are very likely to run into a random pack that deals poison damage or has physical as extra chaos. Chaos resistance at every point in the game is far more necessary. Despite this, there remains a large gap in attaining elemental vs chaos resistance.

Please consider raising the value of chaos resistance given on gear and/or increasing the weighting to closer match those of elemental resistances. Perhaps change "#% to All elemental resistances" to "#% to All resistances".

I think the "#% to All elemental resistances" to "#% to All resistances" change would be too much.
But raising the chaos resistance tiers on par with the elemantal resistances would be good.

They sort of already did this by raising the implicits and drastically raising the chaos resistance provided by the tree and cluster jewels.

Chaos does less damage than the other types. So it makes sense it's harder to get. It isn't impossible to cap and chaos has large chunks on the passive tree whereas the other ones don't.

You guys must only play Shadow and Ranger.

Marauder and Duelist are impossible to access chaos resist on passive tree.

The old guy and the witch lady can only access a little chaos resist on tree, and I wonder who'd like to waste at least 4 points to select those chaos resist passives unless some special builds.

I agree that chaos resist availability should be reworked.

Until they added common sources of physical added as extra chaos. Which interacts with influence monsters that have 200-250% more multipliers on their conversion attacks. 6k+ chaos damage easy with one mod.

Not sure what you mean with the passive tree, there is a ton of elemental resistance on it compared to chaos.

I don't play Shadow at all and rarely play Ranger. I have some really strong gear yes, but my old man is chaos capped. And that's with a ton of uniques and a magic ring on. So on weaker gear, I could still cap chaos res if that's what I wanted to do.

There is another wheel with chaos res (and curse reduction) between the old guy and the witch (which I didn't even take). I don't recall there being massive ele res wheels like these two.

Duelist capped 2 leagues in a row.

The what??? LOL
I can’t even with this lmfao I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣

I agree with the post because the game used to be balanced around having 0% chaos resist but now you need 75% or else rippy deaths everywhere.
It's annoying having only a few specific nodes on atlas passive tree for it, meaning realistically you have to invest in specific gear for it which is annoying to say the least.

Every characters can cap chaos resist, but some just don't worth it.

The same cost you spend on DPS, you can overwhelm all mobs in 0.1 sec, who cares about resist?
