Stop Lying About Defenses!
The defence modifiers and numbers on the character sheet are a complete lie.
Armor with 50% daamge resist is more like 10% damage resist. 70% block chance is realy 30%. 75% eva is more like 25%. The numbers on the character sheet are lies. Theres been tests done all over the community now that prove that defences mean NOTHING. The only way to mitigate damage and survive end game is to build at least 5000ES. which is impossible for a Merc/Warrior. Druid and Templar will be DOA unless they cross over to the Sorc tree. I feels like GGG are giving us only one viable way to play the game. And everyone I see uses ES and Lightning Spear. No one seriously uses melee any more because armor and ele resists do nothing to stop you getting one shot. So either put the CORRECT numbers on that stats page, or give every class ES on thier tree. I am sick to death of my Smith getting ONE SHOT with 90% phys resist and 80% elemental resist. Its bonkers. แก้ไขล่าสุดโดย KingDaMuncha#6025 เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2025 06:21:20 ขุดครั้งสุดท้าย เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2025 16:23:35

Completely agree. But I dont think 4k es is enough. I would say 8k es to be able to properly enjoy end game and even with that you still have to be vigilant. Ballance and effectiveness for deffence in this game is atrocious.

" Weird... because I'm doing T4 Xesht and any map in the game with 2k ES. |

Evasion is the biggest lie, it only works SOME of the time and can stop working if stunned (which happens a lot more in 0.2).

" Yeah... Armour is a formula and the mitigation depends on the incoming damage. So lets say you have 14k armour, where the tooltip will say "82%". Nope... Its armour / (armour + 10xdmg) SO if you get hit by 100, you get 90% reduction. If the enemy hit you with 1500 you get 48% reduction Your evasion rate is technically correct, BUT you need to know the enemies accuracy too to be exact. |

" How is that a lie unless the character has 100% evasion? "Beidat honored the pact, though Mancy wouldn't take off Doryani’s prototype."

When I look at my character sheet and under Armor it says Damage Mitigation 51%. I dont expect to do further math to work out how much damage % is actually reduced. When I see "Damage Mitigation 51%". I would expect it to mitigate 51% of damage.

" Or give us a "bestiarium" so we can see whats the toolset of enemies. If not ingame, just a link to open a website with it. (ingame it could devour too much resources, my old PC literally burned out thx to poe2 XD It was to due to replace it, but not that way tbh...) |

" Evasion works on entropy. 100% evasion would mean you get hit on the tenth hit on average. Meaning you'll die on the tenth hit without higher hp/es. Movement speed or skills, es/ev, and kill speed is more useful. |
