Last night I ran through acts 1 and 2 hell with my poison nova necromancer.
I noticed very odd thing - while single casting of slvl 12 Lower Resist removes poison immunity from
monster (nothing unusual), additional Lower Resist further reduces poison resist of this monster.
This was VERY noticeable - in first case I could barely scratch monsters with my slvl 25 Poison Nova, in second - I took 1-5 novas to kill monster (I'm talking about /players 1).
I was able to reproduce this effect literaly on any poison immune monster from act 5 NM, act 1 Hell and act 2 Hell so far.
May be it's not a bug, but I doubt such behaviour of Lower Resist and immunities was intended.
P.S. I wasn't been able to test this 'feature' with other types of damage.
