Seems like its your inability to comprehend the simple fact others have different opinions and resort to obnoxious behaviour whenever someone disagrees with you.
All opinions are valid, as they’re opinions. Dont treat yours as a fact.
It’s safe to assume that people who are active on this forum enjoy/love/adore Grim Dawn and, as such, will have strong opinions.
It would do you well to engage with the community with some respect instead of calling them idiots behind their back on the discord, besides the other toxic stuff you’ve already been called out for.
Also, it prevents mods (sorry medea) from having to intervene because shit turns toxic, and interesting viewpoints from other people can still be shared.
Regarding the topic, adding an RR ring immediately makes it the BiS for 90% of all the lightning builds and, as such, is immediately a bad influence on itemization/build creativity. As such, I do think Gnuffis’ very first comment is right on the money. Less is more.
What would help lightning builds more is a more easily applied devotion RR, as its the most clunky of all devotions. Some QoL goes a long way. Turning it into a relatively big AoE RR (similar to siphon souls but bigger, for example).
Edit: It’s called Arcane Bomb, turn yourself into an arcane bomb and explode with 3-5 charges in a row applying RR on every hit! (Activate that template already! )
Crate have done more work for less impact in the past. Wouldn’t mark this as an impossibility.
I’ve skimmed the thread, though admit I haven’t read through every iota of discourse.
Stripping RR from rings (or, anywhere, really) and chopping off innate resists from enemies is only ever going to help individual damage types while promoting itemization diversity.
I think this recent interaction of mine with someone who I’m told is somewhat decent at the game says enough:
That there is a “need” for a Lightning RR ring is indicative of a more underlying problem than a gap in itemization. For the sake of Lightning rings everywhere, it’s worth asking what the anticipated end result of adding a Lightning RR ring might be for all the existing rings, especially in the context of what existing RR rings for other damage types do to non-RR rings of those damage types.
Allow me to restate the subtext medea was making - Knock. It. Off.
Also prodding me is a) not going to work and b) is merely continuing to stoke an argument that is over and c) obvious bait is ooooooobvious. And in the of what exactly? To farm likes?
Anyhow, I could point out why you’re wrong and outline exactly how things have gone wrong and how people took tone over substance and ignored specifics in favour of their own wants and ended up arguing crossways lawl. But as above, I’m functional enough to actually bother to listen to a mod telling me to knock it off.
mad_lee’s always going to mad_lee lawl. Even when taking a different route works. Which reminds me, I still need to use stats to show that concerning lightning spam AoM. Because it’s the one true way /trolololololol
But yeah, I get your general point, it’s just when you look at all the options for RR from items and skill modifiers, the specific issues lightning facings are rather obvious and specific to lightning. And while Crate could change things up, given prior behaviour I doubt that they will, not when they have a mountain of balancing work to do with Fangs.
Anyhow, I need to go make mad_lee go wtf again via cold Forcewave, brain’s hooked on the bloody conduit options now.
Your build looks interesting though I can see why you chose those rings too. Would have gone with the Arcane Malmouth ones, but that’s because I’m boring in my choices
For context regarding Lightning resist.
Consider the Ludrigan Druid build that is single class RR, and uses -20 flat resist instead of say Rhowan’s Crown.
Furthermore it does not use -RR relics.
