Talk:Receiving damage

Resistance penetration and reduction/exposure order

Resistance mitigates elemental and chaos damage. Effects such as exposure or area penalties apply here. The attacker's penetration applies afterward to the final resistance value, though it cannot penetrate below 0% resistance. If the resistance is at 0% or negative, penetration has no effect.

1. So if the enemy has 30 cold resistance, has cold exposure (-20 resistance) and i have 30 cold penetration, this would result in as if enemy has 0 resistances (instead of -20% if the order would be first apply -30% penetration, then -20% exposure)?

2. How would the Passive "Heavy Frost" Hits ignore non-negative Elemental Resistances of Frozen Enemies would effect total res mitigation in conjunction with penetration and exposure/-resistance?

Some examples would be nice to add here.
