really, what's the point of chaos anyway ?

chaos resist is the hardest to defend against because it is the rarest type of damage

it bypasses energy shield because energy shield scales directly better than hp

The point is to force you play CI dual totem spork

With good gear you could build high chaos resist, but you are not going to find good gear in PoE. So level your spark

Chaos is there to create a difference between good gear and great gear.

chaos damage is there to counter brainless trash like low-life builds.

unfortunately shavronne's makes it pointless and most players have trouble with chaos damage anyway unless they have good money.

calling low-life builds "brainless trash"...
you can't have both good HP and good DPS. some (like me) try to find a good balance, while others go for either extreme.
the guideline of low-life builds is glass-cannoning: kill stuff before they manage to hit you.
calling this "brainless" is failing to understand a tactic dating back to the first RPGs.

Shavronne's Wrappings is one unique in the whole game.
Kaom's Heart is another.
90% of the players have neither, so who the hell cares if it "makes it pointless"?

as for "good money", I'll just assume you mean "orbs". "currency".
because if you meant "money" - I would personally perma-ban you from the game if I had the power to do so, you RMT-fueling bastard!

really?! QQ about chaos right AFTER chaos mob dmg nerf? lawl

assuming Chaos mobs did get nerfed, it's not a solution.

GGG are doing incredible work, and I have no problem giving them good feedback when it's due - but their occasional habit of covering up a hole in the wall with a picture, instead of filling-up the hole, is just infuriating.

I generally hate chaos damage, except when I deal it :)

Chaos damage is the most likely "gear wall" you will bump into when getting to Act2 Merci. If you aren't CI you will need those resist and HP pool. (GGG acknowledged this with amethyst rings in 0.11)

But chaos damage makes the game less faceroll. Making it into another "elemental" thing would be pointless and removing it would make the game much easier.

so we'll create something called chaos.

then we'll make it really hard to find chaos resists.

then we'll put in a total of 3 chaos resist skill nodes.

then, we'll make chaos puncture energy shield directly.

then we'll put in mobs that throw nothing but chaos

so after you've been destroyed by all that, we'll take 60 f'in percent off your meager chaos resist in merciless. and just to really mess with you, taking all the chaos resist skill nodes won't even get you back to 0 !

i mean , really , what's the point ?

it's fine, have something that's called chaos, and then treat it like the other elementals.

what's wrong with that ?

It just gives you one more necessity to prolong the gear grind. "NEED LIFE NEED ARMOR NEED RES NEED CHAOS RES NEED ES NEED EVASION OMG I STILL GET 1 SHOT?!"

On a sidenote:
I wonder since like every, why is everyone calling that "spork" when it's clearly named "spark" ?
Is that like the Kaoms/Koams thing, where Kripp pronounced it wrong and 99% of the people said it wrong afterwards ?

I'm really curious what the explanation for this is.

"Spork" is short for "Spark + Fork". often used in combination with a Spell Totem.
nothing to do with the streamer Kripparrian.
