Hello everyone
We all know how it’s difficult sometimes to play caster’s build. One the most dangerous thing for such builds is heavy melees like Reaper, Grava, Iron Maiden and Fabius. Especially it’s super difficult when they altogether and you aren’t some magehunter.
So the key idea is simple - could we have more wonderful items and sets like Ulzuin, Cyclone or Iskandra adding decent amount of physical resistance?
It doesn’t increase Cruci clear speed, but will make caster gameplay much more smooth and friendly.

Don’t all three have substantial physical resistance already? 15% for the Iskandra, 22% for Cyclone and 15% for Ulzuin? Don’t think they need more.
Meanwhile Trozan and Harra have 5%.
Not this sets, I’m talking about adding phys res to others like Trozan or Harra 
Ah, my bad, i read that you meant to give more physical resistance to those three. Yeah, i wouldn’t mind if some more caster sets got more physical resistance.

Nice initiative! And that photo for sure should convince 
to act.
One of the biggest culprits is Chillwhisper set for cold Drain essence build. In cold DE you need to hold your ground and takes damage, including physical.
But armor is really low and set doesn’t provide physical resistance. So make it so!

Especially this need on channeled skills like FoI, AAR and DE
How to play on The Mageslayer set than you need stay at one place???
Why warriors have Armor and Phys Res and Casters nothing? Let down warrior armor phys res and up it on casters armor

Valguur and Dark one both have a whopping 3 percent! & Valguur can’t even make use of the physical resistance from Might of the Bear. Dark one won’t be making use of it either.
Given that lack of physical resistance has been a nigh-universal issue for casters post-vanilla, it would have been nice if Spirit granted some, say 1% every 100 points until 726 and every 50-70 after that.
It’s probably too late for that, though, so onward with the sprinkling. If we’re naming names, Allagast could use a solid 6-10%.

this nice but warriors will have more Phys Res
and it need down Phys Res from warrior armor and give up caters armor
All off-hands need minimum 4% Phys Res for begining
And only after that we are ready to start negotiations
I’d very much prefer to see phys res occurring outside of set bonuses rather than a continuation of the “use set or be made of paper” trend

^Imho, the later addition of physical resist to some devotions was a great improvement.
This could be further extended to some more under-used caster devotions such as these immediately come to mind:
- Harvestman = not terrible, but needs a little something extra to make it generally worth 6 points… 3% pysical resist?
- Wretch = never worth it over Viper’s advantages …3%?
- Owl…2%?
- Lizard…2%?
- Ulo…2%?
- Gallows…2%?
- Attack seru…4%?
etc.

+1 for some Phys Res to Mage Slayer, especially because you can’t even properly kite with it.

If so, make it skill mod on toggle aura instead of set bonus.
It sounds like I don’t want Chillwhisper set stronger, the answer is no.
Why, comparing to cold DE build, Blade Spirit build has more reliable ADCtH resource and mobility.
