Elemental damage seems like utter over kill for health-based characters

Lightning damage is still completely overtuned.

Even with 80% lightning resist and 3k health pool, you get consistently one shotted in maps that have NO extra elemental damage, decreased player resists or increased crits.

It's the reason I've put the game now on hold - not an enjoyable experience.

If you think about it shocked means 20% extra damage.
From ANY source.

Yeah, that should be the main reason players are afraid of lightning damage.

And why lightning is absolute must endgame build too.
Quite annoying that there no weapon choice after t10 maps.
For melee you must have
- fix phys dmg
- % phys damage
- leech
- lightning
- + skill level

And now check the status effect damages
top tier is always lightning - shock. +20% extra any source. Thats just a huge boost. With enough you even give a hard cc

Ignite, poison and bleeds is just extra dot. Endgame dots are useless. You cant even afford to l;et enemies live for 2 seconds, and most dots are 5 seconds. If an enemy lives that long, you wont be able to see it.
They get benefits because they power up a skill that gives extra dmg against enemies with it.

Cold damage is #2 pick, because a hard cc is beneficial endgame. If the enemy cant move, that's just gives you time.

Seems warriors "op endgame mechanic" is:
Leap slam - shield charge... This two attack usually builds up the first stun bar so you have time to destroy them.
If your stats are aligned with the enemies, instead of stun, it will be prime to stun, so you can use the wonky Boneshatter, but most people take that skill off, because its too easy to "miss" that prime status (even thorn can stun the enemies... )
I guess some even build honorless (extra dmg against immobilized targets) That way easier to burst down enemies.

And this funnels gamestyle towards glasscannons.
I still hate when Mark said, players don't like tanky playstyle, everyone plays glasscannon.
NO! Just tankyness is actively punished.
Endgame is just hard cc - nuke the screen before they can do anything.

And same mechanics goes for us players too. As soon we get shocked, stunned or frozen we die too.

Life in general is just very weak compared to es.
Ontop of that armor is extremely weak aswell, and evasion doesnt work against alot of boss/slam attacks.

Its just unfortunately very poorly balanced atm.

Just generally not worth it to make life or armour builds until they buff them more. (might be some exceptions im not aware of that are working well).
