It’s an unfortunate case of; it’s either too little, but the moment it becomes truly meaningful, it would be too powerful.

In certain GMs the difference between a few res can save you from being one shot from a sniper. I call that reason enough IMO

Yeah i masterworked some high resilience armour and with stasis sitting at 105. Still get one shot by things. Makes little sense. Might just go to recovery mods.

Resiliency as a stat sucks because armor 2.0 was poorly implemented and Bungie under estimated the player base. Now the only three stats that really matter are recovery, intellect, and mobility. Mobility, recovery, and Resilience should have had hard caps per to differentiate between the classes and make players lean into a particular play style. The only reason I wear so much resiliency is so I can f&*K around with Crest of Alpha Lupi and Citan's Ramparts. There's only three stats I should be farming on armor: If I wanna punch a thing add more strength If I wanna grenade a thing add more discipline If I wanna space magic a thing add more intellect Those are the only three farmable stats that should have been on armor. If players wanted to break the hard caps on recovery, mobility, and resilience than it should have been done through the mod system for a significant cost. If players want faster access to class abilities it should have been done through the mod system only and not directly tied to Resiliency, Recovery, and Mobility. All the stats would have been more meaningful this way. Titans can tank, Warlocks could focus on health recovery, and Hunters can be fast and cheetah flip all over the place.

Titans get the short end of the stick since our class ability cooldown decreases via res. Granted yes at 10 res most weapons would take one more shot to kill..... but that is honestly nothing when noobcannons 3 tap no matter what and they are stupidly easy to get headshots with even without targeting mods. Seriously mobility is clealy the bias for pvp since why try and tank the damage with res when you can just jerk back and forth with a stick or A&D with 10 mobility and avoid the damage all together. As some others said maybe buff res to decreases damage in pve and remove the unflinching mods and have reduce flinch in both game modes with 10 res negating all flinch. I would say maybe even have res decrease damage while in your super in both game modes or at 10 res it decreases crit damage received just enough that players would need one more headshot to kill with snipers being the exception.

I really hate the change of Well of Radiance now needing resilience. A WOR warlock already needed high intellect for lints of Supers, high discipline to throw lots of healing orbs, high recovery for lots of healing rifts, and now needs high resistance so everyone doesn’t die in the Well of Radiance. This after they already nerfed Empowerment of the WOR so they didn’t have to buff Titan’s Weapons of Light from Ward of Dawn. What is Bungie doing to that class? Do they even want support class characters any more? I’m surprised they don’t also require Warlocks to have high strength or the Empowerment buff will be like 5%. And then need high mobility or we’ll be stationary in the WOR, barely able to even change what we’re aiming at.

Because bungie is afraid to make it have a significant effect in PvP. Making it so with the right Resilience, a player can survive, lets say, 3 headshots from a 140 handcannon, would upend the meta to such a degree that hey do not want to even think about the ways they'd have to rebalance literally everything. I am 100% in favor of allowing resilience to give you upwards of 100% more health in PvE based on your stats.

Because Hunters would complain if resilience actually made a difference

Because speed and recovery are useful when giving incremental benefits without breaking the game. Resilience is the stat that has the most bearing on sheer survivability so it’s the only one that will break difficulty balance the fastest. That’s why we can’t all run around like tanks and stand around while everyone shoots at you. It’ll never be as effective as we want it to be because we want it to keep us from dying, and fear of dying is the most effective way to control difficulty balance.

Probably because speccing into the stat alone isn't very difficult to do. If you could just become really tanky it would cause imbalance issues for both pve and pvp. Like imagine if having max resil gave you 50% DR right off the bat in pve? Imagine stacking that with overshields and things that give you even more damage resistance? Pretty much any significant tankyness comes from either building around it and/or giving an exotic slot or 2 for it. Recovery is much easier to balance around because damage values frequently fluctuate. So the devs do not have to worry about someone having insane recovery usually. I think there should be some sort of secondary effect to give value to Resil but I struggle to think of one that wouldn't potentially cause problems.

From what i’ve seen, 6 Resilience atleast helps with Snipers not one shot you without extra protection in GM without extra damage modifier. 7 would be a safe bet but higher is pretty much a waste since it only increase your Shields.
