Lightning Resist

Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Attribute Unit Animation Attack Damage Death Crushing Blow Enhanced Minimum Maximum Adds Damage Damage + % Damage to Demons to Undead Deadly Strike Magic Fire Lightning Cold Poison Skill Damage ATD/ATLD DR/MDR Resistance Maximum Enemy Resist Immune Absorb Sunder Damage Magic Fire Lightning Cold Poison All PLR Lightning Resist modifies lightning damage by a percentage; LR -100% is the floor, while LR > 99% makes a unit Immune to Lightning. Player and mercenary normally have a ceiling of LR 75%, but this can be increased to LR 95% by applying +% Maximum Lightning Resist (although any excess can offset penalties that might otherwise reduce it below this ceiling). Difficulty level penalties of LR -40% in Nightmare and LR -100% in Hell (-20% and -50% respectively in Classic games) also apply to them. Lightning damage tends to be the most damaging of the six damage types, both in terms of average and maximum damage, so resistance tends to be important.

Several Unique bonuses apply LR bonuses to that monster, in the order in which their labels are displayed. [3] [4] If a bonus results in LR > 99%, it is only applied if a monster has less than two immunities beforehand (in which case it either becomes Immune to Lightning, or increasingly so). LR +75% is applied by the Lightning Enchanted bonus. LR +40% is applied by the Magic Resistant bonus, but only if the monster has LR < 100%. [5] LR +20% is applied by the Spectral Hit bonus, but only if the monster has LR < 75%.
