Patch 3.2 Information

[Dante]

@rrra well, if you break the immunity per se, full effect of cold mastery -res takes place on the monster. This will be a very strong buff for cold sorc actually.

What i wonder: Isn't it that if a monster is immune the -%res(conviction) or -res from lower res is only 20% effective?
Will the -%resist on fire also be at only 20% effectiveness? If so, would be kinda low reduction wouldn't it? I guess it's flat then?


Lvl 9 conv(from perf aura maelevolent) has -70% res. 70*0.2 =14 (this will lower and break immunities < 114 total res right?)

So if you have 1 perf -light res wisp you have 15% already. or would it be 15*0,2 = 3 which would enhance to ability to break by a bit but still let conv/ lower res the strongest options?

Sorry if you wrote it somewhere, but when is the patch due ? I'm waiting for the splash scroll fix

There is no expected date as of yet. It's too early to say for sure still.

Holy cow, DR%!

-Resists on items (Such as the -% resists on Facet) can now break immunities on monsters. Conviction or any other aura is no longer needed, but will still help! This should help sorceresses in endgame content immensely.

Another question, does this mean that the aura from ssshaa's weapon can break physical immunity or will only -physical resists directly on items break physical immunity? Also to reiterate a previous question, will lower resist and conviction still work at 1/5 effectiveness when breaking an immunity?

That sounds great, i wonder how 75% is gonna behave on tanking!

I don't know how you considered affixes on rare. In my opinion u should totally add +1 all skill affix on rare rings, so they would eventually challenge existing rings.
I d love to see somthing done so orb sorc is playable (in addition to the new immunity -% rez thing).

i think +1 all on rare rings would be a bit too much, since there are easily found +20 all attributes with all resists rings, it would make most unique rings quite useless hehe

i also wanna be orb sorc playable, the good old orb + thunder storm sorc
or the not so old meteorb!

Sorry, but rare rings can definitely roll +1 all skills in 3.2! Hitting a rare ring that is better than every other unique ring there is, could technically be possible but super hard to hit such a roll!

I wouldnt say a bit too much, i d say necessary (and yet, maybe not enough)
If rings CANT have +1 all skill, u d never put anything else than soj / cons ring / chtulhu rings imo.
i have a 20 str / 20 fcr / 40+ life / all rez rare ring, and i dont use it ..... if it had +1, i dont even know if that would be enough
And tbh, i d love to see rare rings own uniq ones, so boring to see all chars with all same stuff, d2 isnt d3 !!

lampo, when u say ur ok with 50% dr, u mean with OP chars ?
i mean, 75% will hopefully enable some other chars to be tanky
If late game becomes "easy", we can have new harder content huhuuuu

Will the -resist property work at 100% of it's value when counted towards breaking an immunity? As it is now, the aura's and curses work at 20% when counted towards breaking immunity and all -resist work at 100% only after the immunity has been broken. I'm just curious how this will change. I guess I am asking for some math

Also, can any of you old school D2 guys explain how this change to WW will be beneficial?
