I am running into this effect in hell difficulty. It feels almost as my elemental resists are not being taken into account. This is because from playing in a group earlier today on normal difficulty, I was not seeming to have as much of an issue with the elemental damage there. Since normal difficulty characters usually do not have very much for resistances (typically only from their INT), one would not suffer as much of a loss of mitigation as when one is also trying to stack enough resists for moving into later areas of hell and inferno.
