PoE 2 - Persistent Resistance Issues

Hi everyone! I just want to see if I am the only having an issue with resistances. I play on PC and PS5 and when I go to the character tab on either system, the math on my resistances is not adding up. I have checked in town in all four acts and even in act 4 my res's are: fire 75/95, cold 73/73, lght 75/85, chaos 40/40.

In my hideout fire is 65, cold 43, light 55, and chaos is 40. Is there another 30% hit to elemental resistances in maps??

as you complete each act of the story campaign, you receive a permanent -10% to all elemental resistances, adding up to a total of -60% after completing the 6 acts


so in the endgame (mapping) you got -60%..


I think porting into hideout counts as "endgame area" and you get hit by -60%..


-% resistance from higher map tiers has been removed to free up the modifiers a bit..
