Resistance Cloaks?

[Lord_Legolas]

Hello,

I seem to remember that Normal Resistance Cloaks started at level 1 (Resist to all saves +1), at level 5 you got Resist +2, and then +3 at level 7... and so on. All Im finding is Resists +2 at level 5 AND Resist +2 at level 7... Then +3 at level 9, something doesn't seem right here. I know that the Protection +1 starts at level 5 for normal items, +2 at level 7, +3 at level 9, +4 at level 11, +5 at level 13. I know this because of the 'offset' between the two and that's how I remember them both.

Can anyone verify, or clear up this matter?

Thanks and happy holidays!

There are definitely some different game mechanics at play. I have two +4 Resistance cloaks. One is minimum level 11 and one is minimum level 13. The level 11 cloak IS NOT race restricted. I just think the resistance cloaks are set up differently and for some reason do not follow the same progression as protection cloaks. Also as far as I have seen there are no +5 resistance cloaks only the two (?) named items.

You've got it right.

+1 Resistance, ml:1 (no effective ml: )
+2 Resistance, ml:5 or 7
+3 Resistance, ml:9 or 11
+4 Resistance, ml:11 or 13

Which means we could see +5 Resistance, ml:15 or 17 (guessing it won't be 13 or 15 as we have not seen any to date). That is if they include random affix +5 Resistance at all. They may just reserve it for special named items such as Kardin's Eye and Boots of the Innocent. In fact, that is most probable since we also have not seen any race required +5 Resist items (rr: is -2 from ml:15 making it ml:13).

Well we could always be lucky and see the +5 cloaks at 15 and 17. That would be nice since the **** named items are so hard to come by.

The more I think about it I belive that at least 5 months ago the bonuses' to the resists where set as I remembered them: +1 at level 1, +2 at 5, +3 at level 7, +4 at level 9, +5 at level 11, but a +6 was either non-exsistant - or extremely rare back then.

Now they seem to have changed dramatically because I know I had 2 that were +3 at level 7, no restrictions at all but now I can only find one that has apparently changed to Level 7 and it's only a +2

a lot of the loot mechanics are messed up....IE: loot tables....i mean you should not be able to pull a tome out of deleras 1/30 runs (guesstimate btw....) and then go do PoP on elite or any gianthold items for that matter and pull a tome just as often and get lvl 7 loot tables for endrewards or some of the quests...yes i have gotten dex2 boots out of trial by fire on elite while not being ransacked....just plain old dex2 boots, and then those god awful cha3 cloaks of charm monster (1-3clicks) a day that re lvl 7-9 req for end rewards...i dont mind low level things, but at least try and even it out to where im not getting the same loot in deleras as i am in gianthold...

as for the level thing ur talken about...i got a pair of int 6 goggles RR halfing...lvl 13 req..yeah aint that messed up.
