" No it doesn't... CI makes you immune to chaos damage. But with this chest you take the FULL chaos damage on your ES. That's a hell of a difference. But yeah, this chest offers new build possibilities and that is the main reason of a great unique item. |

" Because I don't mind taking chaos damage with an ES build as long as it's not hitting my life. For example now I can run blood magic on auras like clarity and purity and lose very little ES, while freeing up obscene amounts of mana. Plus it would take a pretty crazy build/gear to make taking CI worth it over this armor because you are sacrificing your entire health pool worth of effective HP for some chaos resist. Before you had no choice if you wore ES gear because chaos mobs would one shot you even with chaos resist, now it's not a problem. |

they either need to make that chest piece have no socket (like koams) or have around base es.
its way to over powered. u could just run all ur aruas through life as a es character, with max chaos res. grab pain attunment and run righteous fire. and then run more aruas off ur mana pool as well. its basically a god mode armor for es character. without any negative sides. IGN Suck

" Agreed. You will still take huge amounts of chaos damage, including the resistance penalties in harder difficulties. Add to the fact that the chest has no max life and not much resists, requires players to still play cautiously in Merciless. |

Wow, that chest is a godsend for each and every low life build.

" Beacause while CI makes you immune to chaos damage, it takes away ALL HP. Sure in the lower lvls this might be a little, but even with little hp nodes that can be 2k hp on higher lvls. CI was already a really situational endgame pick, now if you have this armor unless your total ES + HP are under 4k there is no reason to go CI. |

Chaos damage will eat your (even huge) ES pool pretty quickly, so chill dudes... It's not as OP as majority thinks.

" Yes It does. You can still have LIFE. Are you serious? You can run blood magic auras, life nodes will provide you with both LIFE and lower shock/stun/freeze chance. If you can't see that this item makes CI almost completely worthless then i've lost hope. |

" My problem with that item is, that high hp characters have a hp pool of around 5k tops. High ES characters can reach 8k+ With this item you dont have to go to any extremes and get 3k hp and 5k ES, wich bring you near a pure ES CI build, but with probably way more gear that you can equip, you are more flexible, can run more auras. Honestly, its a build defining item, because everyone with ES will want it. I fail to see a downside to it. |
