_Really_ newbish question about hell diff (been away for a long time)

[Slashco]

I seem to remember some time ago that a 50% physical resistance was given to all monster on Hell difficulty. I was wondering if that is still in effect, and if yes, whether it's really worth it to try making a high-level character who relies on physical damage.

[Fercil]

50% global resist is still in effect and melee chars seem to be able to cope with it with decent equipment.

[Los Sin Nombre]

I thought global resist got removed? I though different monsters have different dr% nowadays, like they have on elemental resists.

I'm far from sure as never been bothered to find out. They seem to die anyway.

[Fercil]

I thought it still exists but I'm not 100% sure either and as you say the monsters die anyway.

It was removed, but unfortunately replaced by giving monsters variable physical resists. 25 and 33% are the most common.

Gloams have 90% :grrr:

It was removed in 1.10, I remember very clearly because in 1.09 every other boss was PI.
