Magic Damage

Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Attribute Unit Animation Attack Damage Death Crushing Blow Deadly Strike Enhanced Minimum Maximum Adds Damage Damage + % Damage to Demons to Undead Magic Fire Lightning Cold Poison Skill Damage ATD/ATLD DR/MDR Resistance Maximum Enemy Resist Sunder Immune Absorb Magic Damage is the least common of the six damage types. As a result, resistance and immunity to it tends to be the least common as well. However, there is no way to reduce resistance when it is encountered, although immunity can be sundered and Holy Bolt's and Fist of the Heavens' magic damage will pierce that of hostile Undead (and Demons in D2R). It is not added to Smite or Lightning Bolt.
