Stripped Defences adds 5% to the base value of exposure. Effects that specify a different minimum exposure value apply at the end of the calculation if the exposure fails to meet that value; modifiers to exposure do not apply to this minimum.

There is a passive cluster that contains the notable Overexposure, which has 30% increased exposure effect. This cluster also contains two Exposure Effect small passives with 10% increased exposure effect each. The passive cluster that contains Stripped Defences also contains two small Exposure Effect passives, bringing the total exposure effect available on the tree to 70%.

0.3.0	Elemental Exposure now has 15% less effect on Magic monsters, 30% less effect on Rare monsters, and 50% less effect on Unique monsters. Curse skills and skills that apply Elemental Exposure now can't apply those debuffs to enemies that are significantly higher level than the skill's own level requirement. This requirement is fairly lenient and disappears completely by high gem levels.
