Stone skin: +50% PR, tests done.

[Hrus]

Maybe you did know, but I didn't, so I want to share...

One person told me, that when doing council runs, the decrepify from his merc' Reaper's Toll pierces council physical immunity.
So I thought it's not possible (council has 50 physical resistance... 50+80(from stoneskin)=130 ->not piercable by Decrepify, but I did a test later.
It turned out that Stone Skin boss mod adds only 50 to physical resistances, not 80 like it's written on Arreat Summit.

(I just made a mod where I let to spawn a lot of zombie bosspacks in blood moor. In first case, I set physical resistance to 49 and Stone Skin bosses were not immune to physical. In second case, I set physical resistance to 50 and Stone Skin bosses were immune)

Another mystery revealed then! :thumbsup:
Uhm, while you're at it. How does 'Magic Resistant' affect the boss' resists? And also, is that for fire/cold/lightning/poison or magic damage (as in hammers, berserk etc), or maybe even both? That has troubled me quite a while.

Congrats to a name in green btw!

Magic Resistant is +40% fire/lightning/cold, in that order.
Mana Burn adds 20% magic resist.
Spectral Hit adds no resistances.

[LorveN]

In that order?
Does order of appliance matter somehow? :shocked:

Maybe it only matters so the game wont/cant spawn a triple immune monster...

:goofy:

True.

Interesting about the mana burn. I didn't know that. What effect does spectral hit have, i.e. I'm looking for the scientific name of the walloping I get when hit by these guys. :rolleyes:

Uhm, could you explain how you mean? I thought at least dual immunes existed quite commonly, cant triple ones exist?
And you mean a magic resistant boss is more likely to be FI/LI rather than either FI/CI or LI/CI? :shocked:

[Armor_Biff]

Hmm... I'm just guessing here. But imagine a boss with these mods:

lightning enchanted (gives him 75% lite res), cold enchanted (75% cold res), magic resistant (40% to all 3) and default fire immunity.

That would make him immune to all 3 elements. But as RTB said there is a specific order for "magic resistant", so I think the cold res part would be in this case removed.

So it would leave a monster that is fire and lightning immune with 75% cold resist.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

:goofy:

[WebDragon]

Sounds about right.

[PhatTrumpet]

I can agree with that based on solo Baal runs I've done. Lister is always fire immune, and usually cold immune (inherent 50% cold res), but I've seen him both cold enchanted and lightning enchanted while is immunities were only fire and lightning.
