Description

Lower Resist is one of only two skills in the game capable of reducing elemental resistances below 100%, the other being the Paladins Conviction aura. Unlike Conviction however, Lower Resist also lowers a monsters poison resist. The Paladin aura only affects fire, cold and lightning.

Lower Resist is capped at 70% effectiveness, meaning a monster with 115 in fire, cold, lightning or poison resist will not be rendered vulnerable to any element by this skill (as Lower Resist only works at 1/5 effectiveness when breaking an immunity).

Lore

Simply put, this skill increases an enemy's susceptibility to the harsh effects of the elements and elemental magics. Skin burns like paper, chills cut to the bone, and lightning is drawn to the victim as if they were an iron bar in a rainstorm.[1]
