Vulnerability... Sucks

[RebelBuffoon]

So.. I was going through trying to see if you can't not get a Necrotic build to work.. Unfortunately I found out you can't.

Darkspawn have 90% resistance to Necrotic.
Emmrich can apply Vulnerability to them
Vulnerability reduces Resistances by a %
the % Vulnerability reduces it is only 6%.
Yes only 6% resistance reduction.

Calulation:
I uses Spirit Bomb Ticks for the calculation.

Without Resistance: roughly 600dmg
With Resistance: roughly 60dmg
With Vulnerability: roughly 100dmg


This is fking stupid.. there is basically no point in Vulnerability.. Even moreso given that its 6% AND its hard to apply (Once every 30 seconds to A SINGLE ENEMY). wtf? You had better Resistance Strip in Pevious DA games....

Dunno what necrotic build you can´t do, but on rogue it´s super easy.

On Mage. And even Rogue would suffer given most of the time you fight Darkspawn and Demons, both have 90% resistance to necrotic damage, on Nightmare Difficulty at least.
Literally makes Necrotic dmg useless given you cant strip it at all.

Yeah, it is.Assuming their intent is for it to 'encourage' using different damage types against different enemies/in different areas (talking Nightmare difficulty here) then having a way to save builds and swap between them easily surely should have been a thing.
