Question. Why did we stop giving resists to types of damage such as air and earth and water, and just give saves instead?

When the saves system was changed, many items were left on the single set of saves.  Since that no longer existed, they defaultedly changed to a few random resistances (hence why they give - resistance, since saves used to be - for good).  Items that are supposed to have resistances keep them.

That makes some sense..but how do you know which items were supposed to give saves and which were not?

read what he wrote, the items that are supposed to give saves currently give negative resistances if i understand correctly, and that needs to be fixed, hence the -5 resist to earth means it should be giving saves instead of that.

Roger Roger...

Fixed, coming next reboot.
