Action: I have an Archmage with 36% arcane resist and he picked up Aether Permeation prodigy on level 30. He has additionally 20% resists to fire and lightning from some items.
Result: When checking character sheet, I have 36 % resist to arcane damage and 23 % to fire and lightning.
Expected result: When checking character sheet, I have 36 % resist to arcane damage and 23 % to fire, lightning, acid, nature, physical, dreamforge...
I am already giving up items' resistance bonuses when taking this prodigy, since the resistances don't stack. Why should I be dependent on them in this case? If this is intended, the prodigy description should indicate this, like "In effect, all your resistances that you already have are equal to (...)".

It does give you all resists at that level, it's just not shown on the sheet. It's for that same reason that you might not show a separate number for say, lightning resist, if you don't have any on items, but it's still equal to your resist all.

@supermini
Are you trying to tell me that showing some of the resists you have and some not isn't an inconsistency/bug? Or am I misunderstanding here? And why should the display be affected by the e.g. fire resistance items I wear?

It's not a bug. When you have resist all at 10% and no temporal resistance items it doesn't show you that you have 10% temporal resistance, even though you do.nital wrote:@supermini

What's confusing you here is that because you are wearing fire resistance items it gets shown separately on your character, even though it's no different from your lightning resistance. That should probably be changed to stop confusing people. You in fact have 23% resistance to all types of damage.

Re: [RC4] Aether Permeation doesn't give resists you don't h
I think you are confusing two things here - the "all" resistance, which is given for example "Thick skin" and elemental resistance to all elements, which is supposed to be given by Aether Permeation. Therefore there is no need to display "temporal" resistance because you don't have any, i.e. 0%. You have 10% "all" resistance, which can be also named pain resistance (as given by wild infusion). So your example is irrelevant to this case.supermini wrote: It's not a bug.

As far as I understand, the reduction from pain resistance stacks multiplicatively with elemental resistances.
Proof (screenshot from my Aether Permeated mage):
I have 23% of each elemental resistances in this screenshot + 15% pain resistance from 5/5 Thick skin. As I stated in the first post, the problem is that not all elements are listed when having Aether Permeation. Whether they exist implicitly or not, I don't know.
Re: [RC4] Aether Permeation doesn't give resists you don't h
I don't know if you're being intentionally obtuse. The only reason your fire and cold resistances are shown is because you are wearing items that have +fire and cold resistance% (even though they have no effect on you). It doesn't show any others for the same reason it doesn't show any others in the example with resist all.
All your resists are equal to 66% of your arcane resistance, no matter what is shown or not.

Re: [RC4] Aether Permeation doesn't give resists you don't h
I actually agree with nital here. Whatever the reason it's not displaying, it would still be clearer if it was displayed. In the case of resist all, you can read it straight of your sheet. Going whats 66% of 36%, well it's an easy calculation, but it's even easier if the engine is calculating it for you & you can quickly see it at a glance.
Out of interest, shouldn't it be 24% anyway?

I guess it's calculated as 23 and not 24, because it's 66%, not 66.666666...% - and when you do integer division in most programming languages, floor of the result is taken. Nice catch, though
