I have noticed that playing my spiritborn, if I select a rare node for resistance, I’m not getting the applied bonus.
For example, Torment 3, I have for example, 71.5% fire resist. I deselect the resistance paragon node, which has 6% resist, and bonus 3% if bonus criteria is met (392/295 strength). So, I am over the requirement. Deselecting this, I lose 6% flat resist.
The same happens in Torment 4. Here, I have 46.5% fire resist. Deselect the node, I have 40.5% resist. The bonus isn’t being applied.
I then testing this with a blue 1.5% node, and in all torments, I lose 1.5% flat resistance, regardless of torment level.
An example spiritborn board I found this is “Sapping”. Neither “Resilience” nor “Denial” rare nodes benefit from the bonuses.
