Thusly injured, enemies are easy prey to the follow-up attacks of the Sorceress or her party members. Subsequent castings do less damage, but in combination with other spells or a decisive melee attack, a Sorceress can rely on this powerful ability to quickly dispatch even the strongest of foes. Detail Stat Value Radius (Yards) (4+slvl) * 2/3 Reduces current life of targets within radius by 25% when cast, unless target already has <33% life in Nightmare or <50% life in Hell. Lightning Damage animation won't display on targets to which Static Field can no longer be applied. Damage is a percentage of final life, not base life. +% Lightning Skill Damage from Lightning Mastery and items does not increase damage. Target Lightning Resist reduces damage: LR 50% halves damage, and thus current life is reduced by just 12.5%. Although Lower Resist and Conviction can reduce LR >0% and prevent it from decreasing damage, if they result in LR <0% this won't increase damage. -% Enemy Lightning Resistance is applied after Lower Resist and Conviction and if it results in LR <0% this can increase damage: applying -100% ELR to LR 0% will result in LR -100% and double damage, reducing current life by 50%. However, if Lower Resist and Conviction already result in LR <0% then damage increase due to -% ELR will be reduced: at the extreme, if Lower Resist and Conviction already result in LR -100% then there will be no damage increase due to -% ELR and damage will remain just 25% of current life. [1] More generally, percentage by which current life is reduced per cast when LR <0% after Lower Resist and Conviction approximates the following: Percentage =0 25 * (1 + ( min(E/100 , D) * √D ) ) 0 E Enemy Lightning Resistance integer value D max(0 , (100-R) / 100) R Lightning Resist integer value after Lower Resist and Conviction [2] For example, a Desert Mercenary applying an Infinity polearm's Level 12 Conviction Aura When Equipped would reduce Mephisto from LR 75% in Hell to LR -10% (75-85), resulting in the following for a Sorceress equipping -35% ELR: Percentage =0 25 * (1 + ( min(35/100 , max(0 , (100-10) / 100) ) * √D ) ) =0 25 * (1 + ( min(0.35 , max(0 , 0.9) ) * √D ) ) =0 25 * (1 + (0.35 * √0.9) ) ~0 25 * 1.33 ~0 33.3 Following table lists approximate percentages by which current life is reduced under varying conditions: ELR Lightning Resist after Lower Resist and Conviction 0% -10% -20% -30% -40% -50% -60% -70% -80% -90% -100% 0% 25.00 25.00 25.00 25.00 25.00 25.00 25.00 25.00 25.00 25.00 25 -10% 27.50 27.37 27.24 27.09 26.94 26.77 26.58 26.37 26.12 25.79 25 -20% 30.00 29.74 29.47 29.18 28.87 28.54 28.16 27.74 27.24 25.79 25 -30% 32.50 32.12 31.71 31.27 30.81 30.30 29.74 29.11 27.24 25.79 25 -40% 35.00 34.49 33.94 33.37 32.75 32.07 31.32 29.11 27.24 25.79 25 -50% 37.50 36.86 36.18 35.46 34.68 33.84 31.32 29.11 27.24 25.79 25 -60% 40.00 39.23 38.42 37.55 36.62 33.84 31.32 29.11 27.24 25.79 25 -70% 42.50 41.60 40.65 39.64 36.62 33.84 31.32 29.11 27.24 25.79 25 -80% 45.00 43.97 42.89 39.64 36.62 33.84 31.32 29.11 27.24 25.79 25 -90% 47.50 46.35 42.89 39.64 36.62 33.84 31.32 29.11 27.24 25.79 25 -100% 50.00 46.35 42.89 39.64 36.62 33.84 31.32 29.11 27.24 25.79 25 Cast rate Percentage of life remaining after casting x times approximates ( (100 - SF percentage) / 100) x * 100. Taking the previous example, after casting twice Mephisto is reduced to ~44.49% life ( ( (100-33.3) / 100) 2 * 100).
