Elemental Weakness is a spell that curses all targets in an area, making them less resistant to elemental damage.
Skill Functions and Interactions
- Negative Resistances: This curse can cause resistance values to dip into the negatives, if the base values are low enough. This will have the affect of increasing the damage above values listed on the character screen. For example, if a monster has 0% elemental resistances by default (as well as 100% curse effectiveness) and is inflicted with level 1 Elemental Weakness, that monster now has -20% (negative 20%) elemental resistances. Consequently, the monster thus receives 20% more[1] elemental damage than the spell or attack would normally cause. The curse gets even more effective against monsters with higher resistances.[2] However, a boss such as The Shaper has 66% less curse effectiveness, thus for the overall calculation it is needed to take both monster resistances and curse effectiveness into account.
- The extra damage is multiplicative with other damage modifiers as it is considered to be the monsters damage mitigation, and not due to a buff on any players' elemental skills damage.
- Elemental Weakness can be turned into an aura by linking it with either Blasphemy SupportBlasphemy SupportSupport, Hex, Aura
