Ailments

make to players' sources of Ailment mitigation (not been locked)

• Adding more Ailment mitigation or avoidance to skills. For example, adding appropriate mitigation to Purity of Fire, Purity of Ice and Purity of Lightning Auras with a more notable source on Purity of Elements.
• Adding more powerful mitigation for various debuffs and effects to the Pantheon, ideally one for each ailment or immunity. For things like ignite and poison it would be more likely to provide a high reduced effect rather than immunity.
• Adding new clusters to the passive skill tree to mitigate poison and bleed.
• Adding bleed mitigation to 강철피부 and potentially changing Bone Armour from the Necromancer Ascendancy.
• Adding ignite mitigation to 용암 방패.
• Adding additional corrupted implicits on various items with a focus on Jewels that provide ailment mitigation.
• Changing Consecrated Ground to provide 50% reduced effect of Curses on those with the buff while moving the Curse Effect mitigation cluster to be more central and accessible.
• Adding additional Jewel mods to the regular jewel mod pool that allow for mitigating ailments. Reviewing existing avoidance and mitigation mods to make sure they're in line with the current game. For example, buffing Abyss Jewel ailment avoidance mods from 20% up to around 35%.
• Reviewing the crafting options available for mitigating ailments and ensuring there are enough options, particularly at lower levels.
• Changing the Shield Ailment Avoidance mod to be available on all shields.
• Adding crafting options for: Cannot be Shocked, Cannot be Chilled, Cannot be Ignited, Cannot be Poisoned, Take no extra damage from Bleed while Moving, Cannot be Frozen.
