Magic Damage Reduced

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 Magic Damage Reduced applies to any magic and elemental (fire, lightning and cold) damage remaining after Cyclone Armor and then Energy Shield have been applied. MDR applies to each separately, so an attack applying 20 magic, 20 fire, 20 lightning and 20 cold damage would apply no damage after MDR 20 was applied. [1] Effectiveness is reduced when applied to magic or elemental damage applied by the following missile attacks: Damage Rate 41/1024 (~1/25) 82/1024 (~2/25) 205/1024 (~1/5) Arctic Blast Armageddon fire Fire Wall Firestorm Immolation Arrow pyre Meteor pyre Molten Boulder fire Catapult meteor pyre Countess fire wall Diablo armageddon fire Diablo firestorm Vampire fire wall Vampire meteor pyre Inferno Wake of Inferno Diablo lightning Fetish Shaman inferno Megademon inferno Salamander fire cloud Wake of Fire [2] When MDR completely negates magic and elemental damage, it does not matter if Lower Resist, Conviction or -% Enemy Resistance then reduce Resist, since there is no damage to which Resist can be applied (although Resist will still apply to cold length or freeze length). A combination of Resist and Absorb is generally more effective at significantly reducing or negating magic and elemental damage. When an attack applies magic or elemental damage and physical damage and MDR > magic or elemental damage, the excess is applied to physical damage after Damage Resist/Damage Reduced by % has been applied. [3] [4] Attack applying 100 physical damage and 50 fire, 50 lightning and 50 cold damage to a target with MDR 100 and DR 50%, would apply no fire (50-100 = -50), lightning (-50) or cold (-50) damage and 50 physical damage before excess MDR (-150 in total) applied: this would result in no (100-150 < 0) damage.
