Resistances at Nightmare level

essaniael · Post by **essaniael** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 12:46 am

At Nightmare level (LOD) the resistances (eg. fire) are assigned a negative value.

Can anyone advise me of the best way to get these values up?

Thx

the only way is to equip items with +fire resistance, or charms

in act 5, ypu also get a scroll after comleting a quest, which gives you permanent + on resist all

Ah thanks. I guess that may mean sacrificing some bonus on items already posessed in order to up the resistances, eh?

Do you know if one acquires higher experience points on Nightmare vs Normal?

you get more xp in NM mode, and even more in hell!

and yes. you have to use items which says + to fire resistance to get it up

The easiest way to get a quick fix for your low resists is to put three perfect diamonds in a shield. It's easy to find, and it give descent resists in case you can't find anything better.

or you can make the runeword with RalOrtTal... that gives a shield with decent resist

Almost. Your resistances drop by 40 points in NM, and by another 60 points in Hell level.

The important thing I think it +skills items are not (in my opinion) more important than resistances. I've seen many a friend forego resistance amulets and shields for items that increase skills, so everytime they encounter the faithfull lightning enchanted they end up kissing the floor dead fast.

Aim to get a good balance between all the resistances and items that add to skill levels, personally I find I slowly build up my resistances slowly over time and make it gradual until I've got full resistance at the end of each difficultly level.

More important resistances tend to be Cold, Fire, Lightning and Poison. Concentrate on improving one major resistance and the rest of them gradually. The acts are designed to slowly introduce you to specific kinds of damage anyway.
