Chaos Resistance???
|
So I'm in Act2 Merciless and get to whatever part where those worms that look like they were crossed with predators are and they've knocked me down almost an entire level. I then realized I saw "Deals Chaos Damage".
Ok, no problem I'll just look at my resistance and... it's -60%... what's worse is that I didn't realize that gear that says "all resistances" apparently doesn't include chaos? Any tips? |

Amethyst Flasks can help.
But yeah, chaos is not elemental it's poison or dark matter whatever. You need to find some chaos resistance gear. Like this If you can't find any, you need to play cautiously and get 2 of those flasks. You will run into more chaos in Act 3. Oh, ooops and you may have nodes on your skill tree close.

-60% comes with merc difficulty. You can go CI ull be left with 1 hp but ull be immune to chaos dmg or you take some chaos res nodes. Chaos resistance is the rarest of the 4, chaos doesnt count as elemental thats why all resistance doesnt work.

All Resistances doesn't mean All Resistances it means All Elemental Resistances.
There's a large passive skill point called Chaos Inoculation which makes you immune to Chaos Damage, but you are then not allowed any Life-Meter and have to play the game only using your Energy Shield-meter. The are some other passive skill points which apply Chaos Resistance in small doses, but only a couple. Equipment can have Chaos Resistance. The Flask, shown in a previous post, offers Chaos Resistance and should have dropped at least a couple of times in a normal playthrough. Quite easy to buy them. Normal difficulty = parity Cruel difficulty = -30% Resistances Merciless difficulty = -60% Resistances. So you would need +60 Chaos Resistance to get normal damage from Merciless Chaos Damage. If you have no resistances then you will receive normal damage +60% damage from any Chaos Damage attack. |

I have some of those flasks in my stash... I'm ashamed to admit I never even thought about it! Thanks all!

I'm not such a big fan of these flasks.
"lasts 3,5 s"... and you have to kill 30 monsters to refill one use. But ok, for special situations, this might be useful. Dynamit,

it's not that hard to not get hit by them - even as a melee
just sidestep if they "breath in" chaos dmg is one of the scaryest things in the game, but you'll only neet to get to +-0 or 20+ to not notice it anymore. It seems not to scale linear with resists somehow. Those green things in the sewers in act3 are the worst, but even if they have LMP you can get away with -60 and hit&run tactics |
