I'm asking it very specific this time through....i'm looking for the raw grit of resistances and how they're effected by abilities - We will ignore Absorb since it is completely exterior to the actual resists and skills that effect them.
First of all....i'll put what I think I know:
Basic Damage formula (ignoring Absorb)
Final Damage = (Damage * (1 - Resist %))
Example:
25 = (100 * (1 - .75))
And What I want to know:
How do each of these Effects work (the only 2 ways I can think of will be listed):
Amplify Damage (-100% physical resistance)
Decrepify (-50% physical resistance)
Lower Resist (-varies% elemental/magical resistance)
Conviction (-varies% elemental resistance)
Cold Mastery (-varies% cold resistance)
Do they:
A - a% = a% (IE 100% - 1% = 99%)
or
B - a% = a% of x% (IE 100% - 1%of100% (ie .1%) = 99.9%)
or
some other way? (can't think of any other logical ways though - maybe you know one though)...

One who does not know the enemy but knows himself will sometimes win, sometimes lose.
One who does not know the enemy and does not know himself will be in danger in every battle.
