	https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/441927-List-of-the-new-Guild-Amenities... Since at lvl 1 - lvl 15 you get only 5 point resists, wouldnt content be too hard at lower levels? Those kobold shamans will hurt not to mention traps like acid one in Waterworks.

	Also mobs use plenty no-save damage attacks like scorching rays from enemies in Sorrowdusk.

	Makes getting ship buffs for low level content even easier, if you cared about them. I only got the resist buffs + xp buff to save time, now you can also skip the resist buffs. And I often had the impression it's not even worth the time to get these buffs. If they wanted a scaling... why didn't they just use energy absorption instead of energy resistance? I wonder why Turdbine is always dedicating time to change the low level experience. For the experienced players it's just a grind anyways and just a waste of time trying to change it. -.-

No sense with a "Get every buff you have on the ship" button.

	The same bullshit problem is gonna happen as when they changed poison to deal damage. Traps and mobs are balanced with 30 resists in mind. Poison traps overnight became the killingest trap instead of the "watch out, the next trap might do damage" warning they were originally designed as. This change won't be as wtf? as the poison traps, luckily.

And once, there was this odd cleric build that focused on healing other party members. But that style of play required more than one person per pug who wasn't a complete and total fuckwit. You can see why that had to change.

	Considering we still get to keep our legacy buffs, can add resist 30s, like normal, with an additional "guild bonus" resistance.. i dont think there will be any issues... unless ofc.. they change up legacy buffs to be scaled by level too

	it always irked me that when they changed poisons they made it so you cannot be immune to those poison dmg traps ... even with heroes feast or poison immunity buff.

	The staff here at turbine has been working long and hard to address your long standing complaints, and we are happy to announce for the next update: Based on feed back regarding the strengths and weakness of the barbarian class we will be completely revisiting elemental resistance buffs that only matter from level 1-11! That's right! Our goal is to re balance energy resistance so that it is less useful than spirit cakes but more useful than not playing. This should increase the amount of people playing content in groups while reducing the number of people who succeed which will result in more fun for both veterans and new players alike. We look forward to ignoring your feed back and hope to see you in the game worlds soon!

	From how I read the new resistances it appears they are Guild bonuses that will stack with Energy resistance spell, potions and gear. As Arkat pointed out, once favor is reached for House P and House J a 30 minute Resist 20 could be purchased for a nominal fee. This change could lead to the following game play ... 1. People will once again slot/cast resist energy 2. People will once again use Resist Energy Wands/Scrolls/Potions 3. Protection from Energy spell will get use 4. Gear slots might once again be used to slot energy resistance items

	there is nothing wrong with this change IMO. Less immunity at lower levels is good.

Anyone who was actually paying attention will have noticed that they aren't making the potential "free" energy resistance lower, they're making it higher. The current buffs, referred to in that thread as "legacy buffs" offer an enhancement bonus to resists that would stack with a "guild bonus" from the new buffs. Unless they change it, we'll be able to have 30 elemental resistance from the old buffs at level 1 alongside the scaling number from the new ones.
