Good morning lurkers,

I have seen some discussion on my question in the past but I haven't seen a definative answer?
1. Does Amplify Damage cause +100% of damage inflicted?
or
2. Does Amplify Damage cause -100% to monsters physical resistance?

These may seem the same until you consider Hell Difficulty:
Damage Inflicted 100
Under 1: 100 * 50% + 100 * 50% = 100 damage after physical resistance

Under 2: 100 * (50% - 100%), which translates to 100 * 150% = 150 damage after physical resistance

It is the number 2, definitely. Amplify Damage lowers physical resistance by 100%.

Cheers,

Well, to be technical it lowers the physical resistance (percentage value) by 100. See, if you lower something by 100%, you and up at 0.

Happy hunting :)

Hehe. Yeah, percentage units, not by percentage, or however they say it in English. :rolleyes:

Hail Cham,

It's all explained in my Curse guide - you'll find that on my website ;)
