Armour is STILL USELESS against chaos damage. ES and evasion don't have this BS. Plz Fix.

Evasion is HIT based and not limited to the attack tag in PoE2.

You completely missed the point and try to nitpick

My point was that you armor is a guarantee dmg reduction against physical hits. Evasion is not only physical, but all hits but it is not guarantee reduction hence the evasion chance (if you don't evade the dmg you take the full damage). This is the balancing factor. You failed to understand this.

You can't just start applying armor to everything. That will be way too broken. Evasion works with elemental because it is not a guarantee dmg reduction. Armor should not work with elemental.

lemme quote myself:

"

You can evade a hit that does x20 your max hp, but armour won't save you from that. On the other hand you can't evade enough of 100 hits that premitigated do 20% of your hp to survive, but high enough armour could save you from that.

Armour is not inherently superior to evasion.

You can't just start applying armor to everything. That will be way too broken. Evasion works with elemental because it is not a guarantee dmg reduction. Armor should not work with elemental.

Even if ~35-50% of armour inherently applied to chaos damage, which would still leave it physically dominant, it would not apply to every damage type by default, much less at full value.

If armour applied 100% to physical, 100% to chaos (more than I recommended) and 100% to elemental by DEFAULT, then yes it would be broken. To actually get armour to apply at higher rates and to elemental damage you need to invest skill points and gear suffixes.

Now lets also note that deflection, the 'armour applies to ele dmg' equivalent for evasion lets you take less hit damage from all damage types and can reach 100% and works at full value against larger hits. If armour applying to non physical damage hits is broken then by that same metric so is deflection.

still an L take. Armor should be physical reduction.

As a matter of fact I do lol. Looks good to me, then!

Why would armor ever reduce chaos damage by default? It does not reduce elemental damages. There is a reaseon why you should collect resistances.

There is nothing to fix here. This is all intended behaviour. Armour is meant do reduce PHYSICAL damage and not any other types by default.

Agreed. OP's request is unreasonable. GGG did add a new affix to allow a percentage of armor to apply to elemental damage, though. That went a long way towards helping armor, and an affix to apply a percentage to chaos damage would be welcome.

you mean like this?

Because these Mods exist.

its just that armor need a other layers to help with, armor alone is freaking trash against big physical hit( and in poe 2, recovery is weird and life scaling outside bloodmage is meh)

its still Early Access, just hope they will add influence? like " phys taken as "?" " mods that yould definitely help. I can already do T15 with my titan, but with 2k armor and a Little 3k life... i dont feel im a titan but a weak squelettique rounders. Maybe with a couple 100 div into the build ill feel more powerful, who knows when some build are completely busted with a tiny 10div investment XD. My big concern is about the ascendancy, not all build or classes can do the last one( not like in poe 1 who any classes can do it!).

this 0.3 feels like a good step towards greatness, but some issues feels like a big missed, specially for armor( its not the elemental dmg the problem GGG!).

"Eva and ES don't have this"


Lol. I have 6k ES and thode chaos balls rip my balls off.


I recommend CI to chaos problems.
