Synergies and practical checks
- It is -% to Enemy Lightning Resistance, as items’ is, and adds to theirs. It lowers what curses and auras leave of a resistance.
- On a monster still immune it lowers the resistance by a fifth, which can break the immunity (see Damage ).
- Unlike Diablo II’s, it adds no lightning damage.
- Items’ +skills raise it past level 5, but +Lightning Skills for any class don’t: only the Sorceress’s own.
