Chaos Damage does not bypass Shield
|
I believe that the mechanic where chaos damage does not bypass shield needs to be addressed in some way by GGG. Currently the only way to acquire that mechanic is through a 20 exalt+ item. Whatever your opinion may be on the item itself I believe that if it is a mechanic that GGG supports then it needs to be made available in some form to more casual players and if its not a good mechanic for the game then it should be removed. I personally don't believe that build enabling mechanics (low life) should be gated by making things expensive/ rare. For 24 exalts you should have amazing dps and defensive stats but the chaos damage bypassing shield mechanic should be cheap or removed from the game altogether.
Personally I don't propose that shavronnes be nerfed in any way. Instead I would like to see some plentiful item or talent point with a drawback be introduced. Obviously if you could have this mechanic with no drawback then CI would be almost(but not entirely) pointless. So how about an item that gives chaos damage does not bypass shield but you have -100% to chaos resistance or you have 50% less energy shield. In short, please open up this mechanic to more than just the rich players in the game. you don't have to give away free shavronnes but the mechanic should be more available in some form.

That title alone is the reason why Shavronne's Wrap is severely expensive and game-breaking to the point that I think it is the cause for desync.
Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game.

Why not just replace Zealot's Oath with a cluster of 5 nodes with '10% Increased Energy Shield. -10% Chaos Resistance.' leading to a keystone with 'Chaos Damage cannot bypass Energy Shield.'
Would fix the whole Shav+RF abuse with Zealot's Oath and give people a way to use the Shav bonus with a real drawback. |

" You mean I can't be bothered to invest time and dedication to an item I DON'T want.... because its broken..... which is why I suggested some ideas to make the mechanic have a significant downside thereby making it not broken |

" The mechanic isnt broken, nor is the item itself. Dual Totem speccs on the other hand are. You remove Spork or nerf Totems, what is left that people actually play while using a Shavronnes in a hardcore league? Exactly, nothing. Because the majority of the self casting builds are too dangerous to risk an item that valuable with. Last edited by nynyny#3398 on Aug 15, 2013, 5:35:18 PM

" This...is actually a really, really good idea. I'd go that route. However, I wouldn't have it replace Zealot's since it might actually be a boon for people who chose this particular road. I'm pretty sure we'd see more hybrid health/ES characters. |

" Really John, trolling? My thoughts are that at the moment the issue isn't chaos damage does not bypass shield purely, but moreso the combination with RF ZO needs to be updated in smoe way so that its more beneficial for builds like John's, and I would also suggest life+ES based builds, but at the same time doesn't interact as well with RF. |

dude, never copy what others say when you dont understand it.
The whole point of Shavronnes is to go -100000%chaos resistance. how? this way: lots evasion, lots eshield, lots eshieldregeneration or quicker eshieldcooldown. why evasion: because 73%of all chaosdmg is projectile, you could rename evasion to chaosresistance why eshield: bigger is better, bigger means less regenerationnumbers required why regeneration: because chaos is poison and poison is small dot, dot is countered by regeneration That however combined with the constant hate against monsters that deal chaos damage and reducing their damage and the fact that chaosdamage needs to be backscaled to fit shadowlife&eshield ratios. In the end it just sings a sorry song about why poison never mattered in diablo2, unless you did it to monsters. could have renamed the whole mod to: Your Immune to Chaos gudn8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drDs-Y5DNH8 Last edited by Lachdanan#4036 on Aug 15, 2013, 5:51:43 PM
