They are too weak, but they do work according to the description in the tooltip.

Before you complain, read and inform yourself, it requires the same effort to create a post

It’d not that resistances don’t work it’s just that damage reduction mods are far superior than resistances like vulnerability and crit chance/damage are far superior damage modifiers.
they dont work correctly in wt4 from what i know. not going to lie, i didnt get out my calculator, i just trusted the guides there. ^^ (also didnt blizz say it themself?)
They are changing it so that it is stronger. But the problem isn’t a bug, it’s a balance issue. Armor and DR are way stronger because of the way resists scale in WT4. They scale the way they were supposed to and the game is balanced around that scaling, but it means that there’s no point in going out of your way to get resistance because all the other places you can put points or target affixes are stronger. To make them worth using, they have to overhaul the system, which is one of the big things they will discuss next week.

thanks for clarifying, i really didnt bother too much resistances since preseason. i put skulls in my jewlrey (cause a friend told me to^^), and in s1 of course the hearts since then i didnt bother too much about resistances. tho like everyone else, i hope itll get fixed. poison is a horror ^^
At a certain point, poorly balanced crosses over into completely broken. Resistance stats are functionally broken, they can’t fix it by just increasing numbers. The function itself needs rehashing.

They will never fix it, they don’t know how to do it.
Are you from the future? have you seen the October 10 stream yet?

Have you seen the past? What is it about the D4 developers that has changed that you think implies they have become more capable in the interceding time?
Again, have you seen the October 10 stream yet? the answer is no, so you have no clue

You’re right… 2+2 has equaled 4 up until now, but you never know when 2+2 will up and decide that they are going to equal 5 out of the blue.
We have clues, because we have historical context. Without any other reason to believe something other than the status quo is the most likely outcome, believing anything other than the status quo will continue requires willful suspension of rationality.
Human beings are capable of interpreting historical context and inferring likely outcomes to future events with similar or identical context. We don’t have “no clue”; we have a large body of evidence that implies the most likely outcome.
absolutely. i rolled my eyes so hard they almost came out of my head reading it. So yea… as you said… resistances will be talked about in the next stream.
Historical context is past, you talking about the future that nobody knows
There is not, your head has built that
50% of your resistances comes from armor. This is literally achieved when the tool tip says you have 100% mitigation against physical (you dont because that is capped at 85% but the game calculates over 85% for resistances).
At 100% phys reduction on the tool tip it gets converted to 50% towards resistances. This means disobedience is mandatory.
Now comes the lol part. Int and gear resistances are not additive and instead are multiplicative with each other AND armor but are also reduced by 50% due to torment difficulty.
All of that means, in essence, is that an int character at the armor cap will probably have 70-75% resistances. But this also means that armor is the most important stat, then int (because it also increases damage on int classes), then actual resistance affixes. But 1DR passive winds up being like 10x more impactful than, for example, 40% fire res as an affix.
Knowledge about the past informs likely outcomes in the future. It is literally the basis for human knowledge. You’re acting incredibly stupid, is it just so you can keep up hope?
Some of you haters are like mentaly ill. its crazy to think people like this exist. Did you stalk ex’s as well?
yes they still didnt care and are still unfixed 
Incorrect, by definition the future is unsure, what happened in the past may not necessarily/likely to happen in the future
What you are doing is assuming, it is not the “knowledge of humanity”
You’re either arguing in bad faith or irreconcilably stupid, and in either case there isn’t a lot of point arguing with you.
Assumption based on experience and context is literally the definition of knowledge. When you swing a hammer, you know only from experience and context that it is going to strike a nail and push it into the wood, or miss and hit your thumb. If you are an experienced carpenter, the former is far more likely.
