Poison Resistance and Length Reduction

[Tommi]

Yup. I second what Ruvanal wrote. It is what I've tried to explain in Section 1.2 of my damage modification page:

http://www.hut.fi/~tgustafs/damagereduction.html

Both Poison Resistance and Poison Length Reduction are resistances, i.e. they both function just like any other resistance (affected by difficulty penalty, normal resistance calculations, etc.). The former affects poison damage per frame and the latter the poison length in frames in similar manner (takes the original value and modifies it based on the resistance value).

Abilities that pierce poison resistance reduce both poison damage and poison length as stated in Section 3.2.

Cheers,
