Effective vs IgnoreResist

[darellleyesa]

Which is which?
Which is better?
or do you need both affixes in your sets?
Does effective ring increases the chances for elemental critical?

[Vil]

Effective is better IMO. And no, both of them have nothing to do with elemental crit.

[darellleyesa]

i notice that when both affixes are present. Effective doesnt apply with the mobs. Because it doesnt appear, i mean the word “effective”. Does it mean that ignore resist shouldnt be with effective?

[Vil]

Yup, that’s how things work.

@Emman

Ignore resist and Effective has a different mechanic.

Ignore resist = Well ignores resist.Effective Mythic = It changes your element to the one that’s effective to your enemy.1.25 x dmg to your enemy.

The problem is we have enemies with immune affix to their weakness element.Example

A fire fury with the an affix with ice element.Even if your damage is * 1.25 your damage becomes 0 because of the immunity of the element.

So a lot prefer ignore resist rather than dealing with immune affix. :<

But I do think it should bypass immune because well it’s a mythic >.>

This was my post at another thread similar to your question

Thanks. i just dont know why does the two cant be used at the same time.

I suggest you use ignore resist, its better to have hunter mythic in your ring. and immune mobs are annoying to deal with .

[mcthon]

what about in pvp? which is better?

[Emman]

Both doesn’t work

[Benzonia]

Is this answer still relevant to the current patch? Hard to believe that Effective mythic gets ruined by enemy immunities…and that’s a feature not a bug?

[Vil]

It’s a feature

[Knutz]

Stupid question but while my crit numbers are flying around in pvp, i see “Effective” fly by too. Is that what this is refering to and what skill or affix does this come from?

Thanks in advance.
