Resist Lightning - Diablo 2 Resurrected

IconNameCategory
Resist-LightningPaladin Defensive Auras 5

Required Level: 12
Prerequisites: None
Synergies: None.
Details: This aura substantially increases the lightning resistance of the Paladin and all players and minions in his party.

  • The v1.09 patch added a hidden +max resistance bonus to this aura. These bonuses accrue only from skill points in the skills; not from +skill equipment. (Which is why they are largely ignored.)
    • When the skill is active each point added to it adds 1% to maximum lightning resistance of all characters and minions, capped at 95%.
    • When the skill is not active, each point adds .5% to Paladin’s maximum lightning resistance, rounded down.
    • For example, with 10 points in the skill the Paladin’s maximum lightning resistance would be 85% with the aura active, and 80% with any other aura active.

While a resistance of over 100% may initially seem pointless, note that on Nightmare and Hell difficulties all characters and mercenaries have their initial magic resistance reduced from 0 to increasingly negative numbers.
