Purity of elements not working?

[kestmobthe]

I'm not seeing any increase in lightning, fire and ice resistances. Any guess on why that's happening?

[Lagwin1980]

beacasue you are capped at 75% resistance? and purity dose not add to the cap...only a few passives in the tree and some uniquess do.

Max res in merciless difficulty is capped at 75%. Way's to increase this above the cap is to run purity of fire, ice and lightning. I believe a level 20 of those 3 stated purities will grant +4% to max res. Increased aura effect nodes will slightly increase that, but hardly by much. There are also a couple of nodes that will add +1 to max res, but those type of nodes are strictly limited. Saffels Frame sheild will add to all of your max res by 4% non legacy version I believe, the Phoenix Shield will add to your max fire res...Aegis aurora will add to your max ice res. Best of wishes.

Alright thanks!!!

So this %cap "rule" also applies to armor? because i noticed that some of my armor-buff from flasks does not have any increase in my stats.

Damage reduction% that armor grants is also capped at 90% I believe. You will need high armor to get near 90%. One set up I had was getting Iron Reflexes, running both grace and determination aura. I had 16000 armor, 5 endurance charges..and endurance charge will give you +4% damage reduction per charge along with an additional 4% more res, which is also effected by the cap. Accuracy is capped at 95%, evasion is capped, armor is capped, resistances is capped, block is capped, crit chance is also capped.

But yeah, only mods that state basically adds to "max" is the only thing that will go above the normal limit. Additional resistances on flasks can not by pass that, except for the resistances flasks such as topaz and some other ones which can be found on google typing in ______adds to max res. Jade and Granite flasks only help to improve a % that is not already maxed out. Best of wishes.

I feel like alot of gems are broken. Arrogance support is broken too.
I'm trying purity of elements too and it does nothing . Says it should add 20 resistance but does nothing.
I feel like the 5 new gems they added they screwed up other gems. Gotta wait for a hot fix hopefully soon
