Chip of Stoned Flesh stats are as follows: is that violated by using life-consuming skills? That would kinda suck.Īlso very minor mistake: gems start at rank 0, not rank 1.This is a powerful combination when stacked with Lone Preserver shoulders because when used, Lone Preserver buffs Corpse Explosion with a freeze that can stack. Btw, the "not taking damage" condition on WIldebeest. But for solo play it looks like Molten Wildebeest is indeed a pretty awesome choice. The gem is just so useless ever since Esoteric+Mutilation Guard arrived. Even if we consider that in this 13 second time window on rank 100 all the damage is eventually removed instead of staggered (never happening of course) it would still be at best be a 25% effective damage reduction (but it rather comes down to an effective 10% or so). Moratorium still proves to be pretty useless. Also, the high shield and LPS of Molten assumes to be surrounded by a ton of mobs when casting Bone Armor, which makes you insanely vulnerable in that very moment, so it's a bit of an "all in" playstyle similar to playing with APD bracers. The reason why Esoteric is so great though is that it is independent of time for as long as you can get that life back (especially important if you have a monk in your group) there's no ceiling. So likely by just looking at raw numbers, Wildebeest might still win.

It isn't a whole lot though it comes down to about 170k effective HP at 1400 all res and about 85k at 3000 all res. What you then also need is the formula for all resist mitigation: resist / (5*level + resist), with level being 70 of course for example it means 80% reduced damage at 1400 all res and 90% at 3150 all res. So for the correct formula you also have to add all resist to the "settings" tab. In your table it seems you're neglecting Esoteric's secondary effect though: below 50% life you gain 75% increased magic resistances. I always like the defensive gems - surely never an option for rank 1, but for more casual gameplay, or hardcore, or just more consistency in clearing rifts a great alternative.
