This was a great step in the right direction but seriously borked on implementation. The fact that they were only added as Prefixes which Compete for resistances does not help summoners. I cannot see a single reason why All of these were not added as Suffixes for Armor. They not only fall in line with other suffixes but would allow for proper peices of gear to be made using resistances that Summoners are in Dire need of.
Please change the new Magical properties to suffixes or add Resistances which are in Dire need for the summoner. As is these Affixes are kind of Junk. This goes back to my previous statements of Pet stats being ridiculously over weighted on the stat budget. Adding Competition for the resists which due to Crate’s design have been made a requirement since 90% of the damage in the game is not physical. If these affixes are to encourage Hybrid builds… Pet damage and Regular damage stats should not be so drastically pitted against each other on the stat budget. If these affixes had dual resists or elemental resists added to them, say around 12-20%, then we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Am I the only person who is happy about the new prefixes? I’m even making a blight/pet hybrid build out of those awesome combinations.
You already got of Untamed and of Wild in suffixes, and Taskmaster’s got Elemental Resistance build-in. I personally would like to see some stun/entrapment/freeze Resistance in those Affixes, for those are the real killers out there. As a summoner, you almost always kite your enemies, and those stun-locks can kill you outright.
Wild cannot roll on Armor. the three affixes aimed at pets that were added were for armor and they were prefixes only. Prefixes are where the defensive stats come from. Defense stats are what pet gear is missing 80% of the time. The 3 affixes that were added further re-enforce this issue. If they were just suffixes i wouldn’t be having a problem at all. Please look ath the affix tables and you will see what i am talking about.
