So, I recently read the tool tip for lower resist on necromancers. It says "Lowers maximum resistance of hostile players"

Has anyone tested out how this skill scales with how many points are put into it?

-62 Resist is one less than -63 Resist.

Math is hard.

You didn't understand the question.

The tool tip say lowers maximum resistance. Normally 75 is the maximum, so does this skill cap someone out at 60?

Someone has 175 Resist, 100 to counter hells -100 penalty and 75 to get to 75 Resist. They also have +0 to maximum max resist. -60 Resist makes them have 115 Resist.

Someone has 190 Resist, 100 to counterhells -100 penalty and 75 to get to 75 Resist, then an additional 15 as overcap. They also have +0 to maximum max resist. -60 Resist makes them have 130 Resist.

Someone has 190 Resist, 100 to counterhells -100 penalty and 75 to get to 75 Resist, then an additional 15 as overcap. They also have +5 to maximum max lightning resist. -60 Resist makes them have 130 Resist. And thus their +5 to maximum max Lightning Resist does nothing.

Lower resist simply lowers the players total resist by the amount the curse says


If the player has 300 Resist, with -60 from lower resist, the player now has 240.


If for example, you want to still have 85 maximum lightning resist in hell because you are using tgods belt (which gives +10 maximum lightning resist), and a necro casts lower resist on you that gives - 60 Resist, you would need 245 lightning resist. This is because you need 100 lighting Resist to counter hells -100 penalty, an additional 60 to counter lower resist, and 85 more to reach 85 maximum with tgods.

Right, I get that, simple arithmetic, right?

I guess my question is, is the tool tip misleading? For example, Let's say I have 20 into the skill, would it apply a negative -15 (or whatever number it is) to the players maximum resistance?

So, for the sake of argument, let's say a player has +1000 psn resistance with a + 10 maximum psn resistance. Then the lower resistance -15 maximum would cap them out at 70 maximum psn resistances.

I told you exactly how it works

Just read. Don’t think.

Thank you!

That answers my question.



Time delay.
