Magic Restistance in Nightmare mode - Dr Shred - 03-11-2003
I have just completed Diablo II v1.09 on Normal mode, been accorded the title "Slayer", and started in Nightmare mode.
After playing for a while, just finished rescuing Deckard Cain, I noticed all my resistances are sitting at -30 when all magic items are removed from person and pack.
Any clues as to what has happened? Is the "normal for nightmare"?
TIA!

Hail Dr Shred,
In Nightmare difficulty, your resistances are penalised by 50 percentage points; in Hell difficulty it's 100. Therefore, you now need 125% resistance for MAX, and 175% in Hell difficulty. Nasty, eh?

It's a 40% deficit in Nightmare, not 50. :P
Dr Shred: This also applies to Poison duration, so you'll find that poison lasts longer too.
Also Magic Damage (bone spirit etc. ) and Physical Damage are not subject to the penalty.

Whether it's 40% or 50% at least it's not some mysterious bug, problem with my charcter file, etc.
Thanks for the help! :D

Hail WarBlade,
Check out my characters: it's a high negative resistance in all cases, irregardless of the actual reduction. Besides, 50% would make more sense than 40%: half the Hell penalty :P Oh well, I'll try to remember this time ;)

Thanks for the help! :D
