at least we dont have to just google armor to know how much we need. If i see that right, if youre lvl 100 and look into your charactersheet, it will show you 85% reduction when reaching 9230 armor. Even if you dont know the exact amount, just looking at your charscreen will tell you if youre capped or not. Big plus for casuals tbh.

very insightful video, thanks

Thank you for explaining it , I was woundering about the higher lvl mobs , if they just go right through the armor cap but you explaining helped out 😊😊😊 so is life better then 😉 is Shakopee good with 20 Dr since Dr is hard to get😊

nice video, we need this for all classes

9% life on red gems, did they get buffed also ? or did we get access to new tier gems ?

Best class x start S4? Barb looks great n druids too.. suggestions?

What's the armor / DR cap for minions? Same as for the player character?

For Necro if you stack Intelligence you need 3 skulls and one greater affix with armor plus few paragon nodes to be capped on res and armor.

Its actually harder than what wudijo is saying because he has it set to where all the gear is masterworked to max lv12. So if 1 level of masterwork adds 5%, that means a maxed masterworked item adds +45% to an affix, without any crit bonuses. So if an item he shows here adds 145 dex for example, the item is probably at 100 dex to start with. You have to work your way up to get the rolls he displays here. I believe all his rolls are maxed as well so there's that.

So glad they did this so I can ditch Juggernaut and gain a lot of mobility with evade as a Rogue. Been trying t100 nmd these days with 9005 armor and doing fine (yeah I have Shako and Doombringer but still, when s4 will release it’s going to be even better).

So the old +All Stats affix roll got completely axed on rare/legendary gear?

This season is going to be such a nice change of pace. Hope they don't mess it up with S5

Good video ! Thanks Wudi ! I guess they should let umbrous work with cutthroat skills too Why is it only for marksman skill ? It is just like the pestilent points that is only useable with Puncture … i wish they replace it and make it work on every basic attack , it’ll give us more diversity … Pretty much all builds have to use Puncture to make it work … pretty sad .

Hey Wudi, 13:38 Why did you say "you don't really need DR in the future, just armor and res" ? I mean , in the last PTR with Armor and Res cap and 45k LIFE I died/ one shotted superasy by non boss mobs in T70 Pit . They said that mobs will be harder and stronger so I think the DR is the most important stat and mandatory

The armor change definitely makes it where you can actually run a different aspect now My make it interesting what new stuff we put there instead.

i think you just need one Diamond at max in your gear to reach max Resistances with a Sorc. With all that boosted Resistance on your Amulett/Ring Slots and the Greater Affixes / masterworking (maybe ~1400 Int) with the upcoming patch, it should be very easy to cap. Easy Skulls to get the 1k or 1,5k Armor.

@sluggyborch4553

Exactly what I was thinking. You rarely need diamonds as a sorc.

What is the current Armor cap in season 3?? Seeing different numbers thrown around like 13k, 13.2k, 13.4k, 13.5k, 13.7k.... does anyone know the definitive number? Started at 14k and came all the way down to 13.2k and it still says reduces physical damage taken by 85%.

There is any effect in game that debuff armor? Enemies, Bosses, traps, etc. If yes, maybe having something like ~20% above the cap can be useful to avoid being one-shotted in those cases.

@rkietz2357

Ай бұрын

These are made up numbers, but basically, the old system was that a level 100 mob does 100 dmg, and at 9k armor, it was reduced by 85% (15 dmg), a lvl 200 mob did 200 base damage AND required more armor for equal mitigation, so that 9k would only get you, say 60% reduction (80 net damage). Now with the armor cap, you mitigate 85% no matter how high the monster level. So that 200 mob still does higher base damage, but it would get the same 85% mitigation as 100 mobs, so in my made up number example, the level 100 mob still does 15 net damage, but the level 200 that used to do 80 net damage now does 30.

Let’s say I don’t make it to end game or more likely just don’t have enough crafting materials to masterwork are items going to be junk if they don’t get masterworked ?

Is there a max life cap?

I'm hoping once they have a tool tip or something showing the cap.. that they change this to scaling again. I don't think this change would have been necessary if we actually knew in game what our % was. Should be able to build for easier or harder content and spec accordingly.

I honestly love this change. Having to overlap armor and not know exactly how much you need for what mob levels you are fighting was just annoying. The fact I can also never use disobedience again is very refreshing cause as a hc player when those disobedience stacks fell off... it could get very sketchy. This aspect will solve your issues until you get perfect gear and once you get those armor rolls and 925 armor. You can just forget about it and focus on other things that actually matter.

What happens to exisiting gear with defensive aspects?

On Sorc i hope I'll be able to have Perma Flame Shield so I don't really have to care about armor :D

I don’t get the armor cap logic a bit. Capping the armor means you are fine with the same amount of armor to fight 100 and 200 lvl monsters. It’s like after some level this stat does not matter at all

Juggernaut doesn’t work if you rely heavily on your evade. I don’t like that it slows down the evade cooldown it makes me feel like every time we get something strong it’s going to have a stupid penalty like some kind of kiss curse crap. We don’t need to be penalized for trying to use something. They did the same thing to metamorphosis. Also yes people still want to evade a lot I’m doing it almost constantly it’s not just for movement it’s for defense I use it to get out of trouble.
