Damage Reduced

Damage Reduced applies to any physical damage remaining after Bone Armor and then Energy Shield have been applied. Does not apply to Crushing Blow damage or Sacrifice damage to self. [1] Effectiveness is reduced when applied to physical damage applied by the following missile attacks: Damage Rate 41/1024 (~1/25) 82/1024 (~2/25) Diablo firestorm Diablo lightning [2] When DR completely negates pure physical damage, it does not matter if Amplify Damage or Decrepify then reduce Damage Resist % or Damage Reduced by %, since there is no damage to which DR % can be applied. It is possible to equip enough DR to significantly reduce or negate non-critical physical damage of normal monsters even in Hell, particularly when combined with -% Damage. However, this is not the case when significant +% Damage is applied by skills or Champion or Unique monsters, particularly when DR % is subsequently reduced as well. When an attack applies both physical damage and magic, fire, lightning, cold or poison damage and DR > physical damage, the excess is applied to the sum of non-physical damage after Resist % and Absorb have been applied [3] [4] (only applies to first frame of poison damage). [5] Attack applying 50 physical damage, 50 fire damage and 50 lightning damage to a target with DR 100, Fire Resist 50%, Lightning Resist 50% and +20 Lightning Absorb would apply no physical damage (50-100 = -50), 50 fire damage and 30 lightning damage (80 total) before excess DR (-50) applied: this would result in 30 (80-50) damage before 20 healing from +20 LA, which would result in just 10 net life loss.

Damage Reduced by %

• Damage Reduced by % (or a unit's Damage Resist %) applies to any physical damage remaining after Damage Reduced.
• Does not apply to Sacrifice damage to self. [6]
• DR 50% ceiling normally applies to players and hirelings, while DR -100% floor applies to all units. Ceiling does not apply to Crushing Blow: DR >99% results in immunity to Crushing Blow.
• Casting Amplify Damage (DR -100%) or Decrepify (DR -50%) will reduce DR %, although DR <0% will not increase Crushing Blow damage (both are still fully effective when cast on a player or hireling equipping DR >99%).
• Sanctuary may normally pierce DR % of Undead, but this does not apply to Crushing Blow: Immune to Physical Undead will remain immune to Crushing Blow. [7] [8]
