Spell resistance from gear (U29)

[Maatogaeoth]

After picking up some new U29 loot over the weekend, I noticed I'd picked up a couple versions of spell resistance on gear:
Enhancement spell resistance doesn't stack w/ Drow innate.
Insightful spell resistance.... also does not stack w/ Drow innate.

Enhancement bonus I can understand. But I thought the whole purpose of the insightful bonus was to get it to stack.

Not even sure what my question is at this point. Just more of a .... urgh.... thing.

[PsychoBlonde]

They should BOTH stack with Drow, because Drow is a racial bonus. :P

[Maatogaeoth]

Hah, I agree. But that would be pretty broken.

Which does seem par for the course these days. So yeah.

[KoobTheProud]

Check the Insight bonus again on Drow. I have an Enhancement bonus stacking with an Insight bonus at this point. Not a Drow but the two were not stacking before the hotfix.

Just checked an insight item on a L10 Drow and still showing 20 SR. I haven't a quality/enhancement or other item I can check as well though. Be nice to have a dev comment on if this WAI

Sounds like a stacking bug if Insight bonus is not stacking with racial bonus. Something should stack with the Drow racial, it makes no sense for it to stand alone, not stackable with anything but the GMoF ED ability.

If there was some way this benefited the players, there would be a hotfix. And maybe even a comment or two.

But since it doesn't... yeah.

Perhaps this isn't apparent enough, but this is extremely frustrating to players.

Either

1] push out content that works reasonably before it goes live - i.e. has had ONE sanity check after development
2] don't push it out and cause players to generally distrust the game

It's not fun to loot something thinking that your understanding of the game indicates that you've gotten some nice loot, only to figure out it doesn't work / was never supposed to have happened / etc.

would it mater, could you, in theory, reach high enough numbers for it to mater in EE and LE?

[LOOON375]

According to my character sheet, insightful spell resistance is NOT stacking with my racial spell resistance.

The only spell resistance bonus I can get to stack, is Serenity from the 'grandmaster of flowers' destiny tree.

You should be able to get to the cusp of relevance if not actual value. I've gotten to 60-62 SR on a drow in the past so +15 Insightful would have been 75-77. I don't have all the numbers from that life but I remember hitting 60 and realizing that it still didn't matter in Epic Elite content and backing out of Spell Shield at that point for better value elsewhere. 75 would have meant something in Epic Elite but will not mean much in Legendary Elite, maybe an additional 5-10% chance you don't fail the pen check against some mobs.

[Jetrule]

It certainly could. I also noticed the two types do not stack with each other and tested each type against the barbarian occult slayer capstone which dose stack with drow..Neither equipment type stacked.

[Starla70]

So is it just drow that is having that issue? I currently do not have one to check it on.

Why would you play a Drow over a Gnome?

[JOTMON]

Somehow Drow are getting screwed over for Spell resistance items.
Ehancement tree SR is not staking with items.
Insightful is not working on Drow.
Gonna have to do some testing.

[unbongwah]

Why would you play a Drow over a Gnome?

Because gnome is P2P and drow is (almost) F2P? Plus some people are biased against shorties...

Gnome is pay to win?

[JOTMON]

Gnome is pay to win?

It was half price .. so not a full pay to win...
