I'm trying to get a handle on resistance reduction, can you check my understanding, and also answer the questions I have:
Conviction:
Lowers maximum resistance by a percentage. I seem to recall, that if the monster has resistance above 100, the cost to lower it is five time as high. (Is this also true for 100% resistance?) Example: if the monster has resistance to lightning of 110%, and you have level 20 conviction (lowers max resistance 125%) the monster will have final resistance of either
110 - 10 - (125 - 5*10) = 25%, or
110 - 11 - (125 - 5*11) = 29%
depending on how it is counted. Is this true?
Lower Resistance
I don't know a lot about this one. Will it lower the resistance of a monster with resistance over 100%. If not, will it work on such a monster after the conviciton aura has worked?
Items (Rainbow Facets, Griffon's Helm, etc.)
Do these work with resistances over 100%. If so, are they still divided by 5, and how does it round?
A lot of quesitons here, and I will have more when I get the answers to these. :)
Thanks, Jeger
