Bugged chest with +24.000-25.000 Fire Resistance & Interaction with Enmity's Embrace
Some items exist in Standard realm with an insanely higher-than-intended modifier value, namely to Fire Resistance (+25.244% Fire Resistance). This, combined with some clever interactions, make the use of those items completely overshadow any other character scaling mechanics.
Example of scaling usages of this bugged mod : - The Fire Mastery giving 1 Life Regeneration per 1 overcapped Fire Resistance nows gives 24000 Life Regeneration (can be Energy Shield Regeneration with Zealot's Oath Keystone) ; - The "Armour is increased by overcapped Fire Resistance" can increase armour to several millions. That armour can then scale damage per second for attack builds, with the use of the Dreamfeather unique 1H sword or the Perseverance unique belt. Here is a Path of Building example using this interaction https://pobb.in/_zeq7XrWOmZP . We see that is the modifier is fixed from 25.244% to 48% (tier 1), the character loses 98.5% damage, which means the bugged modifier is giving it 6122% more damage. ; - More importantly, after the 3.26 expansion is out, the new "Enmity's Embrace" Vermillion Ring will give 10000+ Fire Penetration (edited from 24000 because of the "reduced fire resistance" modifier) to any build that uses this kind of chest, making it THE best not only for attack builds but for every build that can convert some damage to fire. This ring will litterally multiply the damage of any build properly using the chest by 100, reaching several billions. With the new ring coming, I think it's time to really fix this bugged modifier. It already wraps the game towards using it for attack builds, but the Enmity's Embrace ring will make it Best-in-Slot for each and every standard character, easily multiplying everyone's DPS by a factor of 100.

They're going to have to nerf/cap that ring regardless. It's relatively easy to get to 250% fire res; which effectually is 175% more fire damage.
We're probably looking at a future cap between 20%-40% penetration. |
