Great comprehensive guide, I also watched some vids from Kripparrian which he linked that were very informative. Bye bye resistance gems, turns out resistances are effectively broken right now. Was thinking about spending some time leveling an alt necro or sorceror but might wait for balance changes given the current state of that
How is resistance broken at the moment?
The resistance calculation is very complex, check out kripparrian's videos on it if you want a full explanation but effectively perfect resistance rolls are still like 100x worse than average rolls on stats like damage reduction from close (edit: when directly comparing the same type of damage to resistance against that type of damage). For late game build optimisation, any resistance roll on any item is the worst stat you can roll. Coincidentally the two classes that build resistances off their main int stat, sorceror and necro, are apparently the worst performing classes in endgame
I ended up posting about it here
