Reduced elemental resistances capped at 100% in 3.19

In 3.18 I found an interaction between Annihilating Light and any of the blight helms (ex. Cowl of the Cryophile) where a character could have over 100% reduced elemental resistances, which in turn would flip the sign on negative resistance making them positive. I was under an impression, that it is a valid interaction due to the fact, that math checking out at that value of reduced ele res and the fact that maximal value achievable is 125% (meaning in the best case scenario, You need 4 points of negative res to get 1 positive res, making it so it is actually hard to be res capped). This was tested in game by me and I am sure that it worked as explained above.

In 3.19 it seems that the value of reduced elemental resistances is capped at 100% and can no longer excede it, meaning even with best rolls on the two pieces of gear, a character will at most have 0% ele res at all times.

Is it possible to fix this interaction back to it's 3.18 state?

You're describing something that clearly was a bug, and you want that bug re-introduced?

From the 3.17 patch notes:

"
Problem: It's possible to obtain high amounts of reduced resistances with uniques introduced in 3.17.0.

Solution: Resistances can no longer be reduced by more than 100%.

This should be capped at 100% reduced in 3.17 patch, so that it is a bannable thing to keep secret with bug exploit

Had no clue it was mentioned in previous patch notes and that it was a bug in the first place.
