Bugged Chest in Standard!

It has come to my attention that are multiple chests in the game that have far too much fire resistance! Please see the link below:

This item is completely game breaking! Fire resistance can be converted into armour with another modifier that happens to appear on these chests. This amount of fire resistance can be converted to over 100,000,000 armour, giving characters billions of damage for free. It is also possible to turn fire resistance into life regeneration making these same characters near immortal.

Thank you for your time.

+1, every new skills/item/mechanic added to standard is irrelevant/subpar due to this chest existing...

WHAT
👉😳👈
why nerf a perfectly fine and balanced item? its really just the 3% armour twwt mod that should be deleted, also replica dreamfeather.
without those, its just a funny looking chest.
but even with them, you are looking at atleast 14 mirrors for 2 items, so far from free i would say.
ever considered just getting gud?

Hey friend! 😊

Thanks so much for chiming in! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

I’m not trying to take away anyone’s fun or devalue rare items—just pointing out an interaction that seems a little over the top from a balance perspective. Whether it's 14 mirrors or 1, the issue is more about how certain mechanics scale in unexpected (and possibly unintended) ways. That kind of stuff is always interesting to bring up, right?

Also, I know the "get gud" comment is kind of a meme at this point, but I think we can all agree that constructive discussion helps a lot more than personal digs. We’re all here because we love the game, after all. 💙

Hope you’re having an awesome league so far—and may your next exalt not drop in a Delve node. 😉

Let me know if you'd like a slightly snarkier or more formal version!
