Damage reduction

[LoboMau]

Hello,

first of all I would like to say "hello", it's my first posting here, hehe.

At the moment I am building a Zealot and I wonder if damage reduction is working only on physical damage or includes elemental and magical damage, too?!

I am wearing the classical combo Gaze + Shaft and I wonder how much life a magical attack of a Succubus or Stygian Fury or an explosion of a Blood Lord Boss (in the moment he dies) cost. (My life's around 2300)

Both "Damage reduced by X" and "Damage reduced by X%" only work on physical damage. "Magic damage reduced by X" works only on elemental attacks.

And, anyway, you have resists for elemental attacks.

If the physical damage is fully absorbed/nulled by damage reduced by x the extra dr can reduce magical damage attacks as well.:hide:

It's a bug..

This only works on attacks that deliver both physical and elemental damage, though. Like elemental damage charms or monsters with a chance to add elemental damage to attack (usually in Hell).

Thanks. Then I know what to do.
