Chaos Innoculation, ES stacking, damage based on ES

Pointless to give triple-A game companies any sort of constructive criticism without getting put on probation (or banned). GGG's downfall is drawing near.

Fomo much?
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

" Cause this entire topic gives of some heavy fomo vibes. CI and ES builds have been around since like forever, and just turned more popular again during the last couple of leagues. Nobody cared about it just till recently and now it's a problem? Weird take, but just like the other user mentioned it's good that GGG is in charge for balance, not the playerbase lol. Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

" Do you not see how life and ES values are completely out of balance? it's not a weird take just because you say or the other guy say so, lol. YOu have zero arguments, it is op that's it, so you oppose with weird and fomo. Zero substance in your arguments. CI has litterally zero downside nowadays. This is a feedback forum btw, you don't have to agree when someone posts that ES meta sucks, lol, but it is not out of place in the slightest to post that here.

The problem with CI is not it offer "no drawbacks" / "too small drawback". The problem is it gives you complete immunity. You can't make a boss which relies on poison, because CI guys will beat him naked. And that's a bad design.

" there wouldn't be a boss that relies on poison damage alone, so this is a non-issue. do you guys not think before typing |
|
" And why? Why not a single uber boss have chaos damage as main damage? Why they don't have even one chaos attack? Shaper, Elder, Exarch, Eater, Maven, Sirus (ok, some of his attacks deal 25% chaos dmg, not even 50%). Maybe some t17 bosses? No, no chaos dmg at all. Why people often ignore chaos res till late game. You can't ignore ele res and ignoring phys hurts badly. Why poison is the most weakest ailment for player, which you usually don't care. People try to get immunity to ignite, chill, freeze, shock, bleed, corrupting blood, but poison? Who cares. Why chaos dmg is the most weakest type of damage that mobs deal? Because if someone start relying on it, it would make CI even more cheat. Last edited by felix0808#2550 on Aug 8, 2025, 4:13:27 PM

"If chaos damage from monsters is as weak as you say then why is CI a problem? Huh? CI is a investment, an expensive one at the top end, and being immune to chaos damage is just a mechanical necessity. It's a well designed keystone given the fact that chaos damage, by default, bypasses energy shield. You only have 1 life as CI so obviously you need to be immune when allocating it. And don't act like good CI builds or high ES values are free or insanely easy to come by. Without some exceptions (Dark Seer) you don't gain ES per level, you need to approach reggen or sustain differently, solve stun immunity or get a high threshold, abandon life flasks and certain utility flasks like Progenesis and generally have to invest in a lot more ES nodes if you transition in bad / mediocre gear. You know what doesn't have the above drawbacks? Life builds. So by your definition those are also op? On that note you don't have a single, respectable CI character on your account so to me your opinions on the topic of CI hold little to no weight. It really does read like another fomo topic.
