Is poison/acid resistance not displayed correctly?
Edit: It fixed itself somehow. I think changing between difficulties did the trick.

I've been playing with maxed resistance for a while now but ever since the latest patch my poison resistance seems to be stuck on 20%.

My equipment with components and augments should have 70%. When I remove an item that has 10% poison resistance augment, the character info shows 10% even though I still have 60% from other equipped items. When I remove the boots that have a component which gives it 20% poison resistance, character info shows 0% even though I still have 50% from other equipped items.

When I use Blood of Dreeg this value is increased to 70% then it goes back to 20% after it runs out. I checked changelogs but I couldn't find anything about maximum poison resistance being reduced. Is this happening to anyone else?

I don't know if this is only a glitch regarding the display of that particular resistance or if it actually affects how much damage I will get. This is making me extremely hesitant to do content that has poison damage like Ancient Grove which I still couldn't complete yet on Ultimate.

Blood of Dreeg gives alot of acid/poison resist temporary (but feels it's pretty damn long, and you can even renew it after cooldown to keep it up).

Basically if you have the Blood of Dreeg skill from Occultist (you don't have to overcap the acid/poison resist because of it, same with Word of Renewal (aether + chaos)...

Not sure if I'm understanding you correctly.
In Ultimate there is -50% penalty to all primary resistances. So with a +60% bonus you should have 10% only.

I have everything else at 80% (some at 83% since I have a few items that raises the max cap). Poison/acid resistance also used to be at 80% but after the new patch it's 20% while everything else is 80%.

I'm aware that there is a penalty in resistances but they all were displayed to be 80% all this time on Ultimate too, cause I have been quite careful with capping them. Now it feels weird to have only a single resistance displayed at 20% while everything else remains the same at 80%.

I'm just trying to figure out if something is wrong.

The only related change I can find in the log is that Mantle of Dreeg's poison resistance was replaced with pierce. But from the numbers you gave it seems to me like it is displayed correctly.

I havent noticed any change in my displayed poison resist after the patch

I have it between -20% and 0% on my main character, with Blood of Dreeg raising it over 80%
Of course, Blood is on at all times...

Link your build in grimtools should be easy to figure out from that
