Well, the ONLY magic-damage monsters in the Slime Pit have the resist-down property, so it's not like you'll have any other chance to actually utilize your resists. Uh... good luck by the way, you masochist.

Obviously if your resists have outlived their usefulness and there are no longer relevant monsters that match up to your resistance type, you can freely discard them. However, these are rare and exceptional cases and hardly the norm.

Make "resist down" into a distinct debuff, tracked separately from your actual resistances. Reduce the effect to no more than 3-5% on any given monster. Provide some means of curing it.

Then allow a character's net resistances to go negative.

What a cruel idea! Tomithy would become one of the most dangerous and pesky normal bosses, and it would add quite a new level of challenge to Namtar, Matron, and the Avatar. Not to mention other places like VHoS or The Slime Pits.

In addition to your idea, you could up the resist down on most monsters, but make it cure on leveling up.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.

In it's current state monsters have percentages off resist, but its a black and white choice regardless of class or numbers.

Why cant we get rid of percentages off resist and just make it remove all res completely?

Or better yet, give monsters a percentage of ignore resists, like the RBS.
Tomithy full strength, rehular monsters ignore 25% or something.

"Ignore resist" was thrown around as an idea at our recent design meeting, but we'll be going with a slightly more interesting alternative.

The new debuff is way nastier and much harder to avoid, sorry to say, but it's definitely temporary in nature. You'll see it this Friday. ;)

Well, thanks for the news.
