Hardcore Players and Magic Resistance

Hello.

Diablo Median XL end game content is MUCH harder than Diablo 2 LoD. Is there any way for hard core players to create using (100 gems) a Stone of Resurrection, that if you die, the stone takes your place and you stay a hardcore character?

Also, there is no way to increase Magic Resistance - that I know of. Could you add a way to add Magic Resistance to uniques or orbs?

Also, if you have high resistance - see picture below - how do you calculate how much ACTUAL resistance do you have as 100%? Please can one of the developers please advise. Want to update the D2Stats tool.

Thanks for reading this and want to say that I love Median XL!

You can have magic resists with enchanted shrines craft.

This make my day !

Thanks nemmate for the info, and blatkill, glad you like my idea!!! Would be great for HC players.

Stone of Resurrection, lol. Sorry but I've never heard of such a stupid idea, that would make HC another SC mode :mrotate:

Not if it's very difficult to get a Stone of Resurrection so that you're scared of dying.

Tell me, as it stands, what is the point of HARDCORE in MEDIAN XL at the moment?

Show me a level 140 HC character please.

Really? That's amazing. Thanks for showing me. Seems I need to play more Median. Only had it for around 6 months. Thanks Crash.

For the love of god dude, post on the feedback thread. You don't need to create a new thread for every idea you have.

Also, the whole point of hardcore is perma death, if you put in a revive mechanic you could just grind those resources, defeating the point of playing hardcore.

Regarding Magic res, the Game is balanced around having little to no Magic res. You are not intended to be able to significantly reduce Magic dmg

Will do so.

If you have 380% fire resistance, Diaco, do you know how much the effective fire resistance is. If you have 100% fire resistance, you should be immune to fire, but it doesn't work like that. For the updated D3Stats, would be nice to display that you have 82% effective fire resistance instead of display 380% resistance.
