Stupid question: Winter's Gift Slow Resist

I know it's been asked before but my brain is not working right now and I can't find it by searching.

Does the Slow Resist offset the slow effect in Stone/Granite?

Feel free to smack me upside the head if I'm being dumb.

According to Mid's it does not lessen the -spd.

I was curious about this myself. The detailed info shows the -spd ignores resists, so sadly, no go. It will still resist further slowing effects from enemies, so by all means slot it.


The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

Since granite doesn't really need any set bonuses for def, look for +run speed bonuses. A guy i team with has a granite that runs 26mph in granite form. I got mine up to 19 mph. It also speeds up running while rooted.

Not in any fashion I've been able to divine over the past year, either via "feel" or real numbers. Although the 3-slot bonus for WG at least helps some, if memory serves. 6% is better than nothing, if you've got the slots and are full up on the 7.5 GotA specials.

Granite's debuff is marked unresistable, so nothing should be able to reduce it.

But it doesn't cause you to resist run speed buffs.
