I don't understand why so few people use these mods...even though they're great against different factions.
Flame Repellent for high-level Grineer
Antitoxin for Infested
Lightning Rod for Corpus, along with Warm Coat.

Completely Forgot about him.
Time to edit him into 2 spots on my previous post.
I do hope that DE will make something out of these resistant mods, maybe next we could have resistance mod slot which separated from our ordinary mod slot. Let's say, 2 res mod slot, so we could combine resistance or 1 stronger single resistance. This will make these resistant mod useful. And as far as I know, each of elemental resistance is still not super OP as they have their own weaknesses. So yeah, having separate resistance mod slot is a good idea DE should do next.
haha
What DE needs to do is create a rare Aegis mod. One that offers +60% resist to ALL elements, can be dropped by 1-2 enemies with LOW rates, and is Exilus... Just my opinion
Another player asking for a game-breaking mod that would be a must-have on EACH AND EVERY SINGLE BUILD EVER, would single-handedly distort the economy and would increase even more the problem of power-creep.
Why stop at 60%?
Because higher would be game-breaking. And the uber rare drop rate would mean in either high demand, so pricey, or no one would find it. Also DE could try and sell it in a plat or money only pack. Smart, eh?
Not really. 60% resistance to all elements is an infinitely scaling buff to your frame. It would be absolutely essential in each and every endgame situation and vital for absolutely every single build. So players would either farm for it like mad, and get frustrated by the uber rare drop rate, or would pay a fortune for it - and if it's really that uber rare, it would actually have a seismic shift in platinum prices on the open player-to-player market.
And if DE makes it available for plat as the only realistic way of getting it, most players would probably be outraged as this is about as close to P2P as they can get.
Then there's also Rapid Resilience, which outright blows all resistance mods out of the water
There are times when they are, however, useful. Today's final sortie was a survival against the corpus where everything was on fire. I took off one of my pare mods, soloed it for less... actively aggressive enemies, (wall to wall nullies and sapping osprays ontop of everything on fire) and put flame repellant on my Loki. I was able to survive it thanks to taking less fire damage from the environment.
It was a last resort as I didn't want to use it... but yeah.
