Poison 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 Poison Resist modifies poison damage rate by a percentage; PR -100% is the floor, while PR > 99% makes a unit Immune to Poison. Player and mercenary normally have a ceiling of PR 75%, but this can be increased to PR 95% by applying +% Maximum Poison Resist (although any excess can offset penalties that might otherwise reduce it below this ceiling). Difficulty level penalties of PR -40% in Nightmare and PR -100% in Hell (-20% and -50% respectively in Classic games) also apply to them. It is only applied whenever a new source of poison is applied, so removing it afterwards will have no effect on damage rate applied for current length; adding it after a target is poisoned will have no effect either. [1] It tends to be less important for player and mercenary due to the time it takes for poison damage to apply its total amount, allowing them to use an Antidote Potion or Well, or return to town to be healed, to cure themselves immediately (a player can also use a Resist Poison Shrine). Conversely, this means it is more important to reduce enemy resistance when applying poison damage, using Lower Resist and -% Enemy Poison Resistance.

[2] This Corpse Spitter needed to be cursed with Lower Resist to remove its poison immunity, but once it had been stabbed to apply poison damage it could be cursed with Decrepify and remain poisoned until death (although any subsequent poison damage would not be applied since it is once again immune). Since 1.13, Oblivion Knights no longer cast Lower Resist.

If this results in PR > 99%, it is only applied if a monster has less than two immunities beforehand (in which case it either becomes Immune to Poison, or increasingly so).
