I'm really glad Bex is back. This ritual is an important part of each league release.
I wasn't expecting that.
Are you implying that "SocketGroup < 4RG" is parsed the same way as "SocketGroup < 4 R G"?
Not parsed the same, but they are effectively equivalent

So does this mean the new supporter packs are being released next week?
That's the plan!
How does 'Increased Defenses from Equipped Shield' interact with 'Increased Armour/Evasion/ES'.
I assume it's probably additive. [EG: 1000 EV Shield; 300% increased Defenses; 200% Increased Evasion -> 5000 EV] but I want to make sure because I'm thinking of trying Willowgift [Fortify -and Mistwall [Over 1,100 Evasion Shield].
Also; if you convert damage taken to an element, and have a means of avoiding elemental damage [ie: Soul of Arrakali] does that work? Because you can actually stack up a fair amount of Elemental Avoidance and I'm wondering how well that could work as a defensive layer.
1) Additive - they're both "increased" modifiers which are applying to the same value. 2) No. If you avoid damage you never take it - thus avoidance has to happen before things that modify damage taken, including what type you take it as. As a side note, this is explicitly not a conversion, which matters for some mechanics.
It is all interesting and stuff, but I hope you took a note about the OP question and would take it into consideration.
Other people in the thread have already pointed out that there are downsides to that as well. Lots of builds rely on being able to reliably trigger their on-hit effects, even if those hits won't deal damage.
