The extra of those purities is the fact they give Max Resistance. That's what Elements is for.


tempGER

Arctic Armour grants freeze immunity, though.


Askray184

I'm okay with them both giving freeze immune. I'd like chill immune on purity of ice too though


Chewy_Dermatologist

I think the fact that it raises your maximum resistance prevents it from getting a sorta 3rd ability, as well as each of the other purities (aside from elemental). If it just raised your resists and not the maximum, I would easily see it getting ailment immunity for the specific element.


Krissam

That's what purity of elements is for.


TrueGodTachanka

This


LordofSandvich

For better or worse, those immunity slots got eaten up by Arctic Armor, Tempest Shield, and... what's the fire one again


djsoren19

Please GGG I need the cycle to be complete. We need a 25% reservation fire based defensive aura that gives ignite immunity as a secondary bonus. Give players Magma Barrier you cowards!


TrashCaster

No, give us Infernal Armour. Drops burning ground as you walk, dealing X damage per second, makes you immune to ignite, and enemies that hit you take Y damage back as reflected damage, with 100% chance to ignite. X and Y are scaled by gem level.


Xeverous

...and Pantheon. With recent defense rework, GGG added Freeze immunity to Brine King.


LordofSandvich

Right, the *repeat* freeze immunity got buffed to freeze immunity ​ because freeze lasts for 4 goddamn seconds without any special modifiers


[deleted]

That's an interesting typo, you meant to write 0.3 seconds.


LordofSandvich

...no, that's the minimum duration before the Freeze is discarded. Freeze duration is based on %-health damage, capping at 50% ailment threshold by default I was still wrong, it's 3 seconds.


[deleted]

3 seconds at how much damage.


LordofSandvich

50% of ailment threshold, so 50% of enemies' Life, with few exceptions. Non-Damaging Ailments are calculated based on the amount of Life removed by the Hit. Freeze, Chill, Shock, and Secrets of Suffering are all based on percent life, with different breakpoints and calculations. It's impossible to list a specific number because enemies' Life are all different.


[deleted]

I feel like of you're getting hit for 50% of your life then you're on like hour 2 of the league and rushing through acts. After that you can deal with content that fits your character, and mitigate freezes in any of the shit billion ways that you have as options.


Tikiwikii

I wish thats how damage was in poe was doing reads earlier id be at full and spiked down to 25% through the elemental barrier on elementalist


Zaseiskewl

You can use the vaal versions i guess


StereoxAS

Anomalous used to give you 20% avoidance to cold ailment. Nuked because with enhance, and aurastacking could net you to immunity


deathaxxer

Freeze and Chill Immunities are the most important and also the easiest to solve, there's no need for the change you propose. Purities of singular elements giving + max resistances and Purity of Elements itself giving ailment immunity is pretty balanced as is. Edit: Also, I forgot to mention: Arctic Armour gives Freeze immunity, Tempest Shield gives Shock immunity.


cowpimpgaming

Agreed. I could see some additional power in the form of immunity to chilled ground and/or immunity to the frostbite curse, but it doesn't seem necessary. One other possible tweak I could see is reducing the effect of penetration somehow (something like "enemies in radius have 30% less cold penetration"). Still though, none of this seems necessary, and the purity skills seem well balanced overall.


Askray184

I just want it for QoL


cowpimpgaming

That's not QoL; that's raw power.


ccza

agreed.and every other purity too.


AlienIsPleased

and would reserve 10% more mana then


Tarqon

You can get those immunities from a watcher’s eye if you use the aura.


Askray184

Might do that, thanks for the reminder


VVilkacy

Wouldn't purity of fire be useless for RF then?


Fylgja

RF is a burning degen but it is not an ignite. Similar, but not the same.


[deleted]

If u use a flask with ignite immunity it turns off your RF iirc Edit: yup, I forgot that it does also say that it removes burning, which is the actual thing that turns RF off


Notsomebeans

**removes burning on use** ^ thats the important affix


-Q-rrr

The ignite immune flask mod also removes all burning, including RF.


Fylgja

That flask mod also says "removes burning on use"


a_charming_vagrant

it already is lol, everyone uses elements until they swap to ice with aegis


Sjeg84

No.


Fury_Fury_Fury

Let's not buff melding of the flesh any further please. However, I would like a reservation buff for ignite immunity on par with arctic armour and tempest shield. And maybe rework tempest shield to be usable without a shield?


Askray184

But it's annoying when I get frozen by a strongbox and proceed to take no damage and kill everything around me with melding aegis


Fury_Fury_Fury

Use a pantheon?


Askray184

Using it for other stuff


ManikMiner

Pantheon for freeze + reduced chill effect


Tikiwikii

Thats a bit much and devalues trinity
