AS staffs are useless now?

Hi All,

I just read patch notes and found this:

"Monsters are no longer vulnerable to elements.

They will not proc Explosion, Disintegration, Deep Freeze, Pestilence, or Venom due to Fire, Shock, Frost, Disease, or Poison attacks used against them.
Likewise, monsters no longer have resistance values reduced against damage dealt by these elements."

Can anybody check that? I will be able to do that only after 5pm today unfortunately...

This is pretty big deal. This means that Asylum staff is a junk now, all secondary effects-based builds and sets are useless, etc.

    Monsters are no longer resistant to elements.
    They can now proc Burning, Concussion, Chill, Diseased, or Poison due to Fire, Shock, Frost, Disease, or Poison attacks used against them.

    Asylum is just fine.
    • Every second/third cast of Force Shock will always apply the Burning, Concussion, and Chilled status effects.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    This does seem like a big deal because aren't ALL enemies considered 'monsters'? If so, then it would make the Sorc Implosion passive completely useless.

    It's useless because it takes up 2 item spots. That is the only reason it can be considered useless

    Explosion, Disintegration, Deep Freeze, Pestilence look carefully at these names.
    They are effects due to certain monsters being effected by elements differently.

    In reality this change now allows us to Ally things like concussion and such to monsters that weren't affected by it.
