Impervious skin: Regeneration/status resistance

[Shred Monkey]

This enhancement is not unique so we can slot it multiple times.  But looking at the combat attributes, it doesn't seem to stack with itself, thus you only get the benefit from the first one.   I think this should be made unique, or allowed to stack.

The regeneration bonus is unique (just like every other single-enhancement regeneration or recovery bonus), but the status resistance portion stacks up to five times (just like every other single-enhancement status resistance bonus).

It was Unique until Issue 10.  It was intentionally changed to work this way.

What Luminara said, and also Homecoming added a non-stacking regeneration proc to it, while keeping it non-unique.

 

It's unnecessarily confusing to have two effects with different stacking rules, and have one be a proc and the other a global bonus, and call the regen part a "bonus" when it's a proc and not a global bonus. I feel like the wiki page might need a diagram, it's so unusual and complicated.

 

But it's intentional, such that it is.

Is this still true? I ask because MiDs shows the Regen bonus stacking, but MiDs seems unreliable lately...

Mids is an excellent guide for building your characters, but you should never use it as your primary reference.

That's why I'm here 😉

Mids has been incorrect about this specific IO since before the original game shut down.

 

Mids is at the top of the “do not trust this” list, followed closely by ingame info. Hell, sometimes even City of Data is wrong.
