Hi Ares,

There has to be another variable.

Diablo's damage is also not static, it changes due to player count and his fire damage has a range.

You could've just gotten lucky with the pally as diablo's fire must've hit it with the minimum damage on his grid.

Furthermore, is the barb taking damage from melee or fire? If you have 2x dwards + 85 fire res, your barb should not be taking that much damage from fire on hell diablo.

The game doesn't discriminate based on character type

Does your pally have a shield/block and overall better resistance?

What about your barb?

Diablo isn't just pure fire as well, he also does quite a bit of lightening damage/melee/magic and it has a high variable when combined together.

Hey, Ares,

I just wanted to make sure you are actually talking about Diablo’s fire attacks and not his iconic lightning hose, as that attack deals both physical and lightning damage. His fire wall and fire nova skills should be almost completely mitigated by fire res, regardless of the character class.

dont forget that res can stack higher than your chars max, though diminishing returns

That can also hurt because you might have lower res on your head from a previous castor.
