Zath - Thanx for the welcome. :D
Not sure what I'm missing on Tommi's page though. I address the physical resistance in my calculations.
If there is a 50% global physical resist, and Amp damage decreases the physical resistance of monsters, it stands to reason that the physical resistance gets dropped back down to 0%.

Quote:Since a crushing blow is not damage, it is not affected normally by any damage reduction effects, such as the PvP penalty and Energy Shield. However, there is a special coding, which reduces the effect of a crushing blow as if it was affected by the physical resistance of the target. In this calculation, a negative physical resistance is treated as 0 % to prevent it from increasing the effect of the crushing blow. Because of this coding, the effect of a crushing blow is effectively cut in half in hell difficulty where monsters have a global 50 % physical resistance, and, furthermore, a crushing blow does not affect monsters immune to physical damage.
