this is not a complain thread.
Please no trolling.

Honestly, i did a test. Im not sure if resistance works but, on the last bit of the drd arena, 12 gemlin pyros spawned. I froze them all and got rid of the others. Then i sat still in the middle of the arena. All twelve of them cast a stream of fire at me. They all directly touched me. Yet i took no damage, did not get set on fire, did not stand up.
This is honestly no challenge at all. I stood up and with about 5 combos of the gran faust, i killed them all. WITHOUT shielding. So is this a glitch in their attack or do i just have too much fire+elemental defence.

GEAR:
lv10 VOG gear. Elemental UV low on both
lv10 grey owlite shield ele uv low

Dude

Not even man.

I was doing a cold storage run with my buddy's buddies, and I took on around 6 Pyro gremlins at the same time, Plus one mecha.

I have a Dusker Cap, a Tempered Calibur, a Wolver coat and a Bristling buckler (all Lvl10). I attacked the Mecha cuz it was the bigger threat, then was hit directly by 4 flame shots as I ran around them.

No damage whatsoever.

After another charge hit to the crowd, I went to try and combo another, but failed and missed XD. He turned around and shot me in the face with his flamethrower, still no damage.

I slaughtered them all, getting what was obviously hit, but sustaining no damage.

I wonder if this is a recent glitch? I could swear I've taken damage from pyros in the past with Vog set...

Fire resistance resists fire?

Fire resistance resists fire? This is completely new information.

It seems to happen by chance

I think it happens by chance based on your resistances. It seemed that about 19/20 times running through the fire when I was trying out Skelly set gave me the status, and it only appeared to happen a third of the time with Volcanic Salamander (which gives max fire)

I did a test on vana

I did a test on vana too...went in with 4* armor instead of my usual vog, 99% of the time i got burned during the last pharse when he attack using that flamethrower attack, but with vog most of the times i dont even get hit or take damage, this can be easily seen when fighting fire turrets, just sit around with vog, if you dont take damage you will take heavily reduced damage, with my gunslinger gear it was the first time i died to one seeing as i just ignore it like i usually do and got backstabbed...

This happened to me too. But

This happened to me too.
But I wear Mad bomber set, so I have NEGATIVE status resistance to fire, but I still didn't took damage.

It's still possible, although very unlikely. Positive and negative status resistances go past the bars, don'tchaknow.

As Gunslinger I confirm too

As Gunslinger I confirm too that i rarely get burned by them, even if i stand in the middle of the fire ... i guess they burn you if you are in it for a moment.
