Hitting through resistances

[Gorynych]

Killing some spiders with cobra armour, I'm getting hit with the following:
( 27 / 75 ) You have been poisoned!
( 94 / 75 ) You have been poisoned!

Is there something going wrong with resistances?

Which enemy specifically did that?

 

[Gorynych]

Spitting spiders, snakes and the envenomed skeletons from bloodrose.

I've tried unequipping and re-equipping the cobra armour.

Bleh, gonna have to go through some old archives to figure where that message was - we've changed how DOT resistances work since. The only commented instance I'm seeing of it isn't prefixed with a roll report.

You can check your resistances with "listresist" at chat or console, but I'm wondering if it's really bleeding over some other numbers.

Here's what it looks like. (worth noting that 100% fire resist didn't have this problem.)

Wait... The crack I am on...

Several revisions ago we re-rigged it so DOT resistance no longer prevents DOT application, it only reduces damage and removes the secondary effects (this also applies to monsters).

So for fire and regular poison, this is only going to reduce damage. For greater poison and lightning it removes the "drunk"/miss chance effect, removes the slow effect for cold, prevents freezing solid, etc. etc.

• DOT and Elemental Resistance Changes: Elemental resistance no longer affects DOT apply chances. This is true for both players and monsters. It still affects secondary effects. So, while successfully resisting Frost Damage removes the slow effect, the target still takes damage over time - though that damage is still reduced by the target's resistance value. (Which still means no effect at all, if the target is completely immune to the element.)
