Deal with the Bandits Rewards

Kraityn:
Oak:
Alira:

Killing all:

if you know more about the rewards, tell me and I will change.

Err... but if I want to be optimal then I'll grab the 8% resistance four times over four difficulties to reduce all elemental damage to me by a third.

That seems like a lot :\

Unless you can hit the resistance cap with your equipment, at which point the resistance award may not be the best choice.

Doesn't Alira give mana as a reward?

There's also a reward for killing all three. edit: maybe

if you have 32% elemental resist, then you have to put less efford into maxing out your resists, and can focus on more fun things, like damage

I'd also argue that it's easier to find gear with +45 health or +30 mana on it than +8% resist all elements.

Kraityn:
+8 RESISTANCE

Oak:
+45 HP

Alira:
+30 MANA


Killing all:
+1 SKILL POINT

It is really a decision between 32% prisma and 4 skillpoints. Might go with the skillpoints on a multiclassed character and with the resists with a pure character.

Well it's good to know I didn't mess something up by killing them all on normal when I didn't know what I was doing xD
The health and mana bonuses definitely seem underwhelming, though I think they're technically balanced correctly.
I went with elemental resists for the 2nd one, will probably do another skill point and another elemental resists.
