it's an already removed mechanic.

The way it used to work was, an aura that gives rand(0, 400) each resists and the random value would update every second.

If a heroic boss had 75% base res (some had higher), that meant that you had 1/16 chance they would roll 0-24% res, which would mean they wouldn't reach the 100% res immunity mark, and instead, be pierce-able with -%enemy res, and thus killable.

the problems were:
- very random, you pretty much just had to keep spamming attacks and wait for luck
- required f/c/l damage because they are pierce elements (mag/phys don't, and heroics were usually psn immune)
-- for ex, monster would roll 24% fire res and leave them at 99%, you could use 199% fire pierce and bring them down to -100
-- with phys magic that wouldnt be a possibility, meaning you'd be dealing neglible dmg to a 99% res boss

The graphics will be the same, they're more-less panning the camera out so you see get more on the screen. The only thing I hope is that it gets rid of that annoying resolution transition when tabbing out.

I also hope they add a few QoL improvements:

1. Waypoints in certain areas don't appear until you've visited them (Hall of Pain comes to mind)
2. The Stones in A3 don't appear until you've visited them
3. If you're using an oskill and you die, when you retrieve your body it gives you auto attack and you need to re-equip the skill you were using. This is very annoying for anyone using a Quiver (Tantrum, Arrow Swarm) because you accidentally fire arrows and when the quiver is empty, it's gone for good. I suppose an easier fix would be to either remove the arrow quantity from quivers or let us "repair" them. Either way, it's annoying to lose your quiver.

if you sell the (empty) quiver at the shop and then buy it back , the quantity gets refilled

Maybe not "excited," but certainly interested to see what they've done with Stamina.
