"of Toughness" Crit Resistant and why it's a bad game design.
of Toughness Crit Resistant 24 Take no Extra Damage from Critical Strikes
This modifier completely invalidates the +X% critical multiplier stat, which is a major part of a crit build's identity and power, it's not a reduction (which would be fairer), it's a binary "off switch" for a mechanic that entire builds revolve around. There is no counterplay, you can’t bypass or soften the effect. It’s just "off." It is like taking elemental overload for that specific mob. Except even then EO would give 40% more damage. You get non of that when a mob has it, it's just a straight up 70% less damage AT A MINIMUM. You need to rework this or remove it. A fact is a statement that can be supported to be true or false by data or evidence. In contrast, an opinion is a personal expression of a person’s feelings or thoughts that may or may not be based in data. Last bumped on Jul 1, 2025, 7:03:04 AM

Imagine if the whole game revolved around invalidating some builds while others are unaffected or even empowered. Whew.

There is no other mod that does this. This is an off switch.
This is not a mitigation, this is an off switch. It's not a map mod or something that can be avoided, and more investment into overcoming it is null. You cannot invest in more critical multiplier to overcome it, and as a build progresses it deals LESS damage in the long run. If you don't see the issue with this mod I'm not sure what else to say. When they did the pass over the archnem mods this one was overlooked. GGG needs to take another look at it. A fact is a statement that can be supported to be true or false by data or evidence.

bump, because it's like a brick to the face every time I encounter the mod.
Take no Extra Damage from Critical Strikes, change it to Take 90% Less Extra Damage from Critical Strikes, even at 90% less it would at least allow for scaling on the crit builds. It just deletes too many stuff from crit builds and nothing like it exists for any other damage scaling in the game. Power charges gone, 3 gem links gone, multiple affixes on jewels just invalidated.
