to test anything related to going below 0 resist on monsters do it on NM diff vs monsters that have 0 res for specific resistance you want to test, WAY less math and super reliable to see results, pois is the best because dmg is almost always the same and it's over time, lightning will be hard ( many MANY tries required due to randomness of lightning dmg ) TL:DR i tested it in NM diff vs Corpse Spitter with poison nova because it has 0 poison res, so it's easy to test it on him. Tested it again season or 2 after the video just to see if it was fixed and lo and behold, after castng LR on that puking monster in NM in chaos sanctuary my dmg increased significantly, and correctly too from my calculations. IIRC it was actually fixed next season or 2 after the video. I actually knew it was bugged before the video that you linked existed, and was very glad that the video was made hoping that when more ppl know about it then it will be fixed soon. I tested it first some seasons ago where i noticed something is up with lower resist not increasing my dmg vs some monsters ( corpse eating monster in chaos sanctuary in nightmare difficuly is 0 poison resist so it's a perfect monster for this test ) Im just wanting to verify the correct information. It doesn't function the same as monsters.Īlso, im not looking to prove that I'm right or your right. If you tested it on a player with dueling, player resists could always go negative.

I just looked through all of the patch notes and didn't see anything regarding this change. The infinity added such little value that he swapped back to insight. I was a curse support and duo's with a cold sorc duo who had infinity merc.

I know this was the case for season 5 through playing and testing. I'm going to test more this evening once I can party up with friends. It's honestly hard to tell because the difference in DPS from -7.5% and -25.5% is only 18% damage increase, and the merc dps is mostly dependent on how it feels like acting and casting. Adding conviction on top should bring them to -25.5% Hell cows have 50 cold resist, so the lower resist should zero them out as well as bring them to -7.5%. Act 3 cold merc and fought hell bovinces in cow level.
