Blizzard has announced that Elemental Resistances are finally getting reworked and are receiving a complete overhaul.
This update is LIVE from October 17th.
Here is everything you need to know about Elemental Resistances before and after.
Prior with Season of the Malignant
Before October 17th 2023
Resistances stacked inverse multiplicatively, with each additional source of resistance becoming less effective.
Ex: You have three sources of 20% resistance. The first source would provide the full 20%, the second source would add 16%, and the third source would add 12.8%, totaling 48.8% resistance.
Starting with Season of Blood
After October 17th 2023
Resistances will now stack additively. Additionally, resistance stats now cap at 70%.
Ex: You have 30% resistance, and an item gives you 20% resistance. You now have 50% total resistance.
Added a new Resistances category within the Stats section in the Inventory.
Resistances have a base cap at 70%. Can go to 85% with new effects that increase the cap.
Armor now only resists physical damage instead of both.
Rings and Amulets will have All Resistances.
World Tiers III & IV now apply a -25% and -50% penalty to Resistance to All Elements instead of a multiplier.
Resistance boosting elixirs now also increase the player's maximum resistance value.
Intelligence now gives +0.025% All Resistance per 1 Intelligence instead of 0.05% All Resistance per 1 Intelligence.
Item Changes
Single Resistance affixes can now roll on Pants.
Single Resistance affixes now contribute a maximum value of +35% Resistance for a fully upgraded Normal item, +48% for a Sacred, and +65% for an Ancestral to your total Resistance.
All Resistance affixes now give a maximum value of +9% Resistance for a fully upgraded Normal item, +12% for a Sacred, and +16% for an Ancestral.
Ring inherent affixes now give +% Resistance to All Elements and +% Single Resistance, instead of two +% Single Resistances.
The maximum value is +6%/+6% for a fully upgraded Normal item, +8%/+8% for a Sacred, and +10%/+10% for an Ancestral.
Amulet inherent affixes have been adjusted to +14% Resistance to All Elements for a fully upgraded Normal item, +19% for a Sacred, and +24% for an Ancestral.
