Esh of the storm - Hit ignore Enemy lightning resistance
|
Hi,
Something seems broken... Skill used is lightning tendrils of eccentricity. With Esh of the storm allocated and 2 Synaptics rings, max shock is around 30%. If I replace one ring with another non Synaptics, I can reach 65% shock effect, and DPS seems better. I do not inflict exposure. Last bumped on Nov 17, 2025, 6:03:41 PM

You have Exposure on your gloves + Mastermind of Discord. (Or have you already changed your gear?)

Exposure on gloves was removed when I experienced the strage behaviour.
I've spec'd out the breach ascendency and put exposure back on gloves. |

I am wondering about its interactions as well. It seems as if it treats enemy lightning resist as 0, which would mean conductivity would be a waste, but exposure should continue to work.
I haven't seen my shock decrease from it, but there seems to be only a minor dps increase, which most likely aligns with no exposure, but allows curse reduction below 0. |

" This is expected. When your hits ignore enemy resistance, it is literally skipping the resistance calculation step in damage calculation. This means that if you use curse/exposure to get enemy resistance to be negative, this effect actually hurts your damage. See: Inquisitor's Inevitable Judgement node. The situations where this mod shines are in mapping where monsters could get endurance charge or extra elemental resistances from map mods. |

" I was unfortunately thinking this is the case. With as much investment into reducing/lowering their resistances, it seems useless to have, compared to other places to boost damage. |
