Resistances

Every character and every monster carries seven resistances: ice, poison, lightning, fire, earth, wind and water. A resistance is a plain chance: with 30% ice resistance three freezes out of ten do not land. Every source adds up - the pendant, both rings and the master skill tree - and a player never goes above 90%.

A resistance also takes the edge off the damage of a skill of its element: 50% of the resistance comes off the hit. With the rate at 50%, a 40% fire resistance cuts Inferno by 20%.

Iron Defense makes a character immune to every element while it lasts, and a monster at 100% is immune to that element - raid bosses are. A Soul Potion raises ice and lightning resistance by half of what the character already has - only in the Valley of Loren during the castle siege battle.

Rings and pendants

A ring or a pendant carries one element. Its points are level + 1, an excellent one adds level + 2 more - exactly what the item tooltip counts - and every point is worth 0.94%. Two rings and a pendant of one element add up.

Master skill tree

Three master skills add resistance in percent on top of the jewellery, one rank at a time. Only whole percents count.

Elements and skills

Which skills carry which element. The target rolls its resistance against the skill's effect - freeze, poison, knock-back - and the same resistance trims the skill's damage.

Element	Skills of this element
Ice	Ice, Ice Storm, Ice Arrow, Strike of Destruction, Chain Drive
Poison	Poison, Decay, Fire Slash
Lightning	Lightning, Cometfall, Earthshake, Chain Lightning, Pollution, Lightning Shock
Fire	Fire Ball, Flame, Hellfire, Inferno, Nova, Explosion, Flame Strike, Beast Uppercut
Earth	Meteorite, Rageful Blow, Killing Blow, Dragon Roar
Wind	Twister, Twisting Slash, Death Stab, Penetration, Requiem, Gigantic Storm, Dark Side, Dragon Slasher
Water	Aqua Beam

Weapon element

A weapon can drop with one of the seven elements. The element carries a power in percent - the "Fire element +15%" line on its tooltip.

A plain hit, a skill with no element and a skill of the same element all grow by that power. A skill of another element gets nothing from the weapon.

Then 50% of the target's resistance to that element comes off the hit.
