Is the stat worth it in the endgame? Definitely. As shown in the video by Esoterickk, the damage reduction can increase to up to 67%, making you a true tank.
In Grandmaster Raids or Nightfall Strikes, more resilience can save your life, as shots in these tough activities make melee attacks deadlier.
If you want to finally create a running tank that can withstand more hits, the newly refreshed stat is a must. However, if you have primarily focused on Intelligence, Mobility, Recovery, or Discipline, you might try to put some points into Resilience. Every bit helps and makes you tougher in battle.
Now it’s your turn, have you noticed that the Resilience stat has been improved? Or were you busy with the new frustrating Iron Banner mode that everyone is talking about? Let us know in the comments how you feel about the change and if you are now adjusting your builds to Resilience!
In Destiny 2 there exists the stat “Resilience”. Throughout the history of Destiny, this stat was considered one of the most useless character stats in the entire game. However, since the release of Season 17, Bungie has revamped the stat to be one of the best – is it now worth it?
What was so bad about Resilience? Throughout the history of Destiny, Resilience was seen as the worst stat. This stat minimally increased your shield capacity in the past to provide more protection and reduced damage taken after breaking out if you were frozen by Stasis ice since Beyond Light.
However, this protection was so minimal that it could be disregarded. It neither helped you survive longer nor did an increase to the value of 100 make a difference.
Therefore, many Guardians focused mainly on the stat Recovery, as it provided a noticeable and significant health regeneration. However, with the new changes in Season 17, Bungie has made history, as after years of uselessness, this stat can prove to be useful.
Bungie finally gives you more protection
What was improved? Although Titans love the perk for their increased barricade charges, it didn’t benefit the other two classes much. But now, with the start of the new Season 17, Bungie has revamped the stat to give you a substantial 40% damage reduction from all elements and damage types at level 10.
Esoterickk, a Destiny 2 expert and renowned PvE all-rounder, has put together a comparison video showing how useful the new changes really are:
You can noticeably see that your Guardian can withstand more shots with a maximum Resilience value than without. So if you have noticed that you can withstand less since this Season 17, that could be the reason.
We have noted all levels and damage resistances of the new Resilience:
- Level 1 – 1%
- Level 2 – 2%
- Level 3 – 3%
- Level 4 – 4%
- Level 5 – 8%
- Level 6 – 14%
- Level 7 – 20%
- Level 8 – 26%
- Level 9 – 32%
- Level 10 – 40%
There is a noticeable percentage increase after Tier 4. So if you still have enough stat points available, investing in Resilience would be beneficial.
