Embers of resiliance and resistance.
Posted by Jennifer on Nov. 19, 2024I found out that we can only have up to 75% resilience on our equipment which is 25 embers and any embers over that won't make a difference. I was told we could have up to 9 embers of resistance for each element (fire, ice, shadow, etc). If each ember gives 3% resistance that would only be 27% resistance for each element. So how much resistance can we have? If we can have up to 100% that would be 34 embers which would actually be 101%.

I agree with you. It doesn't make sense to have heaps of various embers which don't work after using a certain number of them. I thought the percentage increase would go up more and more. To be honest, I think these limitations should be scrapped so we can progress further with the dungeon, mine and forest. What's the point in unlimitted buffing and ember stacking when it won't actually help?
I went ahead and added 40 embers of resistance of shadow to my mysterious vile which would have given me 120% of resistance but when I looked at the pet that had mysterious vile it only gave 75% resistance of shadow. We only need to give 25 embers of tdhe different resistance.

100% would make your pet invincible. Games aren't fun if there isn't a challenge. That's why you will find a defense cap like this in most role playing games. People would stop playing if you could climb forever after adding resilience embers to 100%.
So this means I have to sell a lot of stuff in the auction house now because I keep collecting stuff that isn't any use to me any more. it feels more like a stalemate than a challenge.
Malero, what you said makes perfect sense. If we had 100% resistance and 100% resilience We all would be running right through the mines and dungeon and defeating every enemy we came against without any problems and that would get boring. I appreciate the easy levels of the mines, dungeon, and forest but I also like a challenge. I'm glad you allow us to have 75% resilience and 75% resistance.
does the cap only apply to the resistant embers?
What doesn't make sense to me is, the bosses get stronger and stronger and stronger as you go deeper into the minds and dungeon and yet there needs to be a cap resistance to various types of damage. Why can't the resistance cap be taken away and the bosses just keep getting stronger until we can't beat them any more? with the resistance cap, there is no point in calling the dungeon endless or the mines endless. how is the game challenging when we don't even know how to figure out the challenge in the first place to get further and further through the minds and dungeon? I kind of get where Malero is coming from with capping the damage resistance so our pets don't become invincible, there is a point to that and I agree with that. what I find pointless is picking up hundreds and possibly thousands of embers and other items which eventually becomes useless after a certain point of strengthening pets.
I’ve discovered that the resistance embers aren’t particularly effective for the dungeons themselves, but they’re incredibly useful for bosses. The key to the dungeons is to strike first, as even the tougher pets can take you down regardless. I’ve been struggling to reach 2700 or higher with any pet or equipment. I’m not sure if the loot increases as you go deeper or if you get the same amount if you start from the beginning. Honestly, I don’t fully understand the dungeons.I have actually found the resistance embers are not very good for the dungeons anyway, however they are brilliant for the bosses, I think the key when it comes to the Dungeons is you need to get your hit in first because when you get to the harder pets, they take you out regardless anyway I can’t seem to get past 2700 or so with any pet or any equipment I’m not sure if you get more loot the deeper you go or you get the same if you start on number one so I don’t really get the dungeons at all if I am truthfully honest
