Conviction

PATCH 20261101.12026-11-02T07:17:50.548Z

Monsters around you resist fire, cold and lightning 45% less (a fifth of that if immune).

These are base learned-level effects, not final character-sheet damage. Account for equipment bonuses, synergies, modifiers and enemy resistances.

Effects by level

Level	Effect	Cooldown
1	Monsters around you resist fire, cold and lightning 45% less (a fifth of that if immune).
2	Monsters around you resist fire, cold and lightning 65% less (a fifth of that if immune).
3	Monsters around you resist fire, cold and lightning 85% less (a fifth of that if immune).
4	Monsters around you resist fire, cold and lightning 105% less (a fifth of that if immune).
5	Monsters around you resist fire, cold and lightning 125% less (a fifth of that if immune).

It lowers the resistances of every monster in its reach, the same at every level as in Diablo II, and holds a moment after a monster steps out.
On a monster immune to an element it lowers that resistance by a fifth, as in Diablo II, which can break the immunity. It never lowers a resistance by more than 150% .
Diablo II’s Conviction also lowers Defense. Here your blows always land, so there is none to lower.
Of several Convictions on a monster (yours, your items’, your mercenary’s), the strongest alone counts.

Wider — It reaches 80% farther, but lowers resistances 40% less.
Brand — It affects only the toughest monster, from much farther away, and lowers its resistances 50% more.
Lingering — Monsters keep it for 3 seconds after leaving it, but it lowers resistances 10% less.
