Conviction and Lower Resist - MadScientist - 11-04-2003

When a monster is affected by both Conviction Aura and a Lower Resist Curse - in which order are they applied? It is, of course, irrelevant, for non-immune monsters but quite important for immunes whose immunity can be broken.

Let's assume Lower Resist Lvl 20 (-62 resists) and Conviction Lvl 20 (-125 resists) are on a monster with resistance 110. Is it then:

(Conviction first)
110-125/5=85 -> 85-62=23

(Lower Resist first)
110-62/5=97.6 -> 97.6-125=-27.4

(both at the same time)
110-(125+62)/5=72.6

I read Jarulfs post in the Cold-Mastery thread but Lower Resist and Conviction do not seem to be factored in at that point.
