Modifiers[ | ]

This item has the modifier #% of Elemental Damage taken as Chaos Damage which allows elemental damage to be taken as chaos damage. The following two tables can help gauge the effectiveness of this body armour.

Calculations of the efficiency [Expand]

Assuming the player allocates the Chaos Inoculation keystone, the "value" of this effect is as follows for various maximum elemental resistance breakpoints. (The "Damage Taken" is an arbitrary amount corresponding to a large elemental hit for the purposes of calculation and percentages are rounded up or down to conform to the way the game displays resistances (whole numbers)).

For characters with less than 75% Chaos Resistance, Incandescent Heart acts as an elemental damage taken multiplier, increasing the total amount of elemental damage taken as illustrated in the following table:
