Sacred Flame not working as indended

So I was wondering if the Unique Sacred Flame scepter works with Chaos Resistance since it says enemies resist Elemental Damage based on their lowest Resistance (Not just Elemental Resistances!) and I tested that out by selfcasting Flame Blasts equipped with Elemental Focus and Controlled Destruction to avoid any variance with Crits and ignites against an easy boss. I always casted them with the full 10 stacks. I don't have any amounts of Elemental Penetration and the default resistances of the Boss were Zero.

Without the Curse Aura (I'm using an Aura with the same range to make sure they are also in my presence when the curse affects them) I'm dealing around 23-25k Damage per hit on avarage. With Flammability it goes up to 30-32k, that was to be expected.

However with Despair it didn't seem to affect the damage I dealt, it was still the basic amount with around 25k avarage, I never got a hit bigger than 28k.

I was curious though and also brought myself a Hypothermia Aura. That should work, right, because Cold Resistance is at least an Elemental Resistance and the tooltip is just unprecise, right? But no, it turns out, that I still only deal the "normal" amount which is around 25k per full Flame Blast hit. So whats the Purpose of that Scepter then? My theory is that it just "Penetrates" resitance up to the lowest amount the monster currently has and since penetration only goes down to 0, adding a curse does nothing unless it lowers the resistance from the type of damage you actually deal.

But I don't really have the patience to test that one out and don't even know what kind of Boss I would have to set up to test it out. And then again I don't know it it also works with chaos resistance because then it lets you at least ignore Elemental Penetration completely because most monsters Chaos Resistance is zero anyways.

still broken GGG, although the dev is already gone and they don't care

Do you know how many bugs are waiting to be fixed? Devs are on vocation now. Probably they will release next patch in November.

November? What? New league is already coming in August, and possibly a patch or two for the current league in the mean time. POE2 is just having a little breather atm, because POE1 just starter their new league.
