>When people mention things like "GGG APPROVED BUILDS"
It's skills and interactions with either railroaded interaction (LA+LR) and incredibly high base stats (Spark in 0.1).
Have you ever noticed that there's absolutely no flat added damage to spells in PoE 2? This is so it's much easier to force you into playing what they want you to play.
Take a look at every scaling available to Spells: gem levels,inc/more damage, cast speed, crit, crit multi.
These are all strictly tied to the base stats of the Spell.
There is no way to scale any spell in a way not strictly relative to the base.
This is why you can never get something like Ice Nova as a main skill to work, it has dogshit Cast Speed and dogshit Base Damage, as a result, no matter how you try to scale Ice Nova, there will ALWAYS be a Spell that slots right in and does exactly the same thing as Ice Nova but better, because GGG decided that Ice Nova is STRICTLY and ONLY a utility skill for freezing, and they do not want you to actually build around it as a main skill.

>Armour formula in PoE 2 is Armor/(Armor+ 12 X Damage)
>This means the bigger the hit, the less it mitigates
>Elemental damage in PoE (2) is very high because you are expected to have 75% resists in the endgame
>Unfortunately for armour fags, any source of "Armour applies to elemental damage" makes it apply BEFORE the resistances, so on the very large hit that isn't even reduced by resistances yet
>Consequently, armour applying to elemental damage does almost nothing, especially if it's not 100%
>For example, even if you had 10k armour and got hit for 5k ele damage, you would only mitigate around ~140 damage if you take Prism Guard
