What were you expecting to happen, and what actually happened
Enter fight with a Troll. Troll casts Troll Stench ability. Resistance drops to 0.
Player gains Resistance via equipment, ability or dungeon boon in following turn(s), including against subsequent enemies - example, Savior Legs or +armor and +resistance Dungeon boon were both tested.
Expected Result: Resistance raises as normal. Actual Result: Resistance remains at 0.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Verified in Dragonrest Temple dungeon on 17-08-2021. Troll was not the first enemy, in case it helps with reproducing.
Steps to make it happen again
See Expected & Actual results above.
I have tried to reproduce this myself repeatedly, and consistently saw Resistance gain in both instances.
Also in Dragonrest and with Savior Pants equipped.
Reproduced again.
Note that I am wearing Savior Pants (as well as two Runic Rings, given known bugs associated with them in case of interaction / causing this behavior, which you can see in my Utimate meter before and after) and I do see the “10” popup related to Resistance gain from Savior Pants after casting Dark Ice, my right-most spell. This applied to all subsequent casts as well.
However, resistance stays at 0.
If I had to guess from your screenshots, it’s the 0 that would be the not-reproduced step (and / or the Runic Rings).
If I had to guess a possible code reason without domain knowledge, it could be that the calculation of Troll Stench’s secondary effect uses a different function from regular magic damage to resistance, setting it as a negative integer if it exceeds current resistance - until the player overcomes the difference into a positive value. Or the tooltip is missing something
I did it, repro successful.
Worked out what I was doing differently. Messing around with the resistance prior to the AI casting was giving a different result.
Was able to repeat this a few times, only occurring when the Troll stench took my resistance to 0. If I had any resistance, it was replenished when casting.
Also occurs when Hero didn’t have Ruin Rings equipped.
Next time this happens, take a screenshot of your stats. I bet your resistance is going negative due to the troll stench. That has happened to me in .36
