One thing I've found about certain gems and high level mobs is the Do Unto gem. It never, ever works against high level mobs. It always gets resisted. Always.

I've shown the math above.

Those gems, even if they did scale up as fast as other gems do, still wouldn't be the best way to reduce damage (percentage mitigation still does the trick), but it would at least give players the feeling that those gems scale up the same way everything else does

glitchless already said in another thread these gems wont be changed so discussing ways to change them is relatively pointless

We believe these are working as intended.

Glitchless has said a lot of things wouldn't change that have, so instead of being a complete doucher, maybe you just leave it up to Glitch to say what he's gonna say.

For slow effects, use the slow % but as a negative.

Just repeat for multiple effects.

DO NOT multiply by 1+slow% to get your new delay. 1*1.4 is not the same as 1/0.6 and your answer will be wrong.

Adding a separate % based line wouldn't have this effect, but it really would not be any different from damage mitigation.
This.

I just read this response in the other thread.

Thanks for clarifying.

Could the changes instead simply be switched to make it so the auras can AT MOST cover a certain percentage of enemy attacks, and then raise the numbers?

Wouldn't this counterbalance the fact? I think it would clearly state that these auras are meant to help you block higher level hits, not totally null lower-level ones.
