Impervious Skin regen change


Recommended Posts

Ok, once upon a time, you used to be able to stack 5 of Impervious Skin Status resistance/regeneration and get all the regeneration bonus (each is 0.1%). I know this was the case as I've used it. It is now described as unique, but still allows you to slot more than one, but you get only the first bonus. When did that happen? If you do make such a change, it seems reasonable that a unique be unique so you can't slot more than one. I didn't bother to check if the status resistance stacked, but really who cares? I have to wonder how many people have been screwed by this and didn't even know.

The status res is not unique but the regen is.

 

I did not check it, but I suppose that is good to know. It is also close to utterly useless. They ought to just make it properly unique to prevent people from wasting money on them. They are going going for over 4M on the market and I guarantee it's not for status RESISTANCE.

Purchase and craft it as a recipe instead of paying over 4M inf for the crafted enhancement.

Convert it from another IO from the set.

Use 50 Reward Merits to purchase the Recipe from a Merit Vendor. (Seems like a waste of Reward Merits to me...)

I mean, if the status resist stacks, it would be valuable to me.  -regen debuff sucks.  I don't think they do, though, so I understand your gripe, regardless.

It stacks.

The Regeneration bonus has always been Unique.  What you may be remembering is the bug (which isn't actually a bug, it's an oversight that still hasn't been addressed) that allows the Regeneration bonus to stack if you change maps, which you can exploit to stack as many times as your ping and load times allow (i built up over a dozen stacks one night, entering and exiting a mission just to test it).

Huh.  I had no idea about any of that.
